The Church of the Cross, Bonn

The Church of the Cross, Bonn

The Church of the Cross is the largest Protestant Church in Bonn. It has plenty of room, enough to accommodate 1,200 people and serves double functions. On one hand, it serves as a gathering place for church services since 1871, on the other hand, people are attracted by the large size and central location of the Evangelical church, as well as the cultural events being held here. In both respects, the Church of the Cross is open, inviting and attractive - according to the word of Christ from the Gospel of John (chapter 12 verse 32), which stands as a motto over the entrance: "When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me."
