Deutschordenskirche (Frankfurt am Main)

The Deutschordenskirche (Church of the Teutonic Order) in Frankfurt am Main is a Lutheran church located in the Innenstadt (inner city) district. It was originally the church of the Frankfurt Commandery of the Teutonic Order, a medieval military-religious order. The building's history spans several centuries, with various architectural styles reflecting different periods of construction and renovation.

The church's origins can be traced back to the 14th century. Over time, the complex including the church and commandery buildings underwent numerous changes. The current structure largely reflects the baroque style that resulted from renovations in the 18th century.

Following the secularization of the Teutonic Order in the early 19th century, the church was taken over by the city of Frankfurt. It was later repurposed for Protestant services, a function it continues to serve today.

The Deutschordenskirche is a significant historical and architectural landmark in Frankfurt. Its interior features notable artworks and decorations, reflecting its rich past and the various influences that have shaped its appearance. The church also plays an active role in the city's religious and cultural life, hosting regular services and events.
