It was a small, modest church with an unexpectedly tall tower on the east side. A parish hall was attached to the church on the south. The church was built on the site of the old city fortifications.
At the entrance to the Christuskirche in Tragheim.
During the Second World War the church was badly destroyed. In August 1944 its interior burned out after being hit by incendiary bombs. The roofs of the tower and the nave collapsed. Only the walls survived.
View towards the Upper Pond: the House of Technology with the Christuskirche behind it.
Its ruins stood until the early 1960s, after which it was gradually demolished. Until 1995 the steps that once led into the church from the west could still be made out. At the end of the 1990s the base and foundations were removed, and in 2000 a shopping centre was built on the cleared site.
