The Dankeskirche (Church of Thanks) is the central Protestant church in Bad Nauheim. It was planned from 1893, located near the spa facilities. Built in Gothic-revival style to a design by Ludwig Hofmann, it was opened in 1906. The church was made with Londorf basalt, a type of volcanic rock.[1]
The first organ was built by Eberhard Friedrich Walcker.[2] The church features a baptismal font from the 12th century, which was moved from the congregation's former church. The church also features stained glass with depictions of biblical meaning.[3]
