Dankeskirche from northwest, 2014

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 first organ was built by Eberhard Friedrich Walcker.[1] The church features a baptismal font from the 12th century, which was moved from the congregation's former church.
