The old town of Oberursel is dominated by the spire of its church, dedicated to St Ursula…read more There has been a church on the present site since the 12th century, but the present structure dates mostly from a rebuilding in the 15th century. The old church was originally destined to be replaced by a completely new one, but as ever costs escalated and the old church was reconstructed instead. This explains the irregular layout of St. Ursula's, with the odd angle of its choir and sanctuary. The tower was built between 1479 and 1498 as a guard and bell tower After being destroyed in the Thirty Years War, the church was rebuilt in 1645, although much of the original fabric survives. The main features of interest are the carvings on the exterior of the church, which include a rather camp knight, with hand on hips, a delightful monkey, a lounging dog and a man with a horse's ears, as well as the inevitable saints and apostles. Inside are some 18th-century funeral monuments, a fine organ and an elaborately-decorated pulpit. The terrace of the church provides good views over the old town, and tours of the tower are available in summer.

Full disclosure, I'm a sucker for old churches. Whenever I find myself in Europe I love to seek…read morethem out and explore to take in the art and architecture, as often in the old world churches and cathedrals housed some of the great cultural artifacts of the time. Dom St. Bartholomaus doesn't disappoint. It's a gorgeous church that's free to enter and walk around. If they are holding service you may need to wait until they are done, but it's worth it as this one is chock full of gorgeous artifacts and artworks to enjoy. If you love museums I recommend paying the very cheap entry fee - I think maybe two euros - to their small museum which is to the left as you enter. It's small, but houses some really amazing religious antiquities. Only pro tip I have is that like many church in Europe there are no public restrooms. If you're in Frankfurt there is no reason not to stop and take in this beautiful landmark!

The holy mass is held every Sunday at 9:30 am in English and at 11:30 am in German. The parish is also quite busy with charity events, pilgrimage and social work. It is a great way to connect to other expats in Frankfurt away from home. Besides all the church work, the builing itself is rather small but very beautifully decorated with ancient murals and marvelous architectural details - well worth a visit.

Situated adjacent to the Schloss Homburg, this huge church was begun on the initiative of Kaiser…read moreWilhelm II in 1903 for the Lutheran (Protestant) congregation of the town, who used to hold their services in the Palace. It was opened in the presence of the Kasier and his wife in 1908. Designed in the Romanesque style and with four splendid 'Rhenish helm' towers, this was designed to be fit for an Emperor. The exterior appears in the standard cross-shaped plan, but the interior features a huge central cupola under the crossing, with large galleries filling the transepts, and an astonishingly wide nave, all on a cathedral-like scale. The main feature apart from its size is its breathtakingly elaborate decorative scheme of painted walls and ceilings, and spectacular mosaics. These cover the upper walls and, most notably, the apse of the Choir, depicting Christ in Majesty and the stunning golden expanse of the cupola, lit by a huge cross-shaped lantern. No expense was spared on the materials, with the extensive use of marble and stained glass windows, featuring prominent use of the German Imperial Eagle motif. Bad Homburg is noted as a town for its church organs, and a festival is held here every year. The Erlöserkirche possesses both a large, turn-of-the-20th-century Sauer organ and a new Bach organ based on a 1742 Thuringian model. The church has stunning acoustics, and is therefore a popular venue for concerts of both classical and religious music, as well as lectures. The church is also the focus for the congregation's vibrant pastoral life see website for details of services and activities.
