Heilandskirche Walluf

The Church of the Redeemer is the house of God for over 2100 Protestants in Walluf, Martinsthal and Rauenthal. It was erected in barely six months in 1902 by 261 Protestants, and seats just 200. The architect of this church, Ludwig Hofmann from Herborn, called the building style "Early Gothic", which can be recognised by the large groups of windows. The stonework consists of quartzite from the Taunus hills. The wall borders and the windows were hewn from yellow and red sandstone.

On the inside, the wall surfaces have been plastered and painted. The original painting was restored in 1993. The crucifix on the end wall over the altar was probably made in Upper Franconia around 1470. In its slightly damaged condition, the body of Christ serves as a metaphor for the vulnerability and transitoriness of man, but can also be interpreted as the resurrection and the promise of eternal life. Using the pictorial language of the Middle Ages, the choir window shows the Risen Christ, the Saviour standing on a tombstone and returning to this world.

• The organ, which was made by the Rassmann firm in Möttau in 1904, is considered to be a special jewel, in particular because of its original preserved prospect.
