Through the door behind the altar of the impressive cross-shaped hall from 1775, one enters the medieval tower, which once formed the chancel of the predecessor building. From there, a modern staircase leads up to the pulpit through the former east window. On the walls, as well as particularly in the deep window recesses of the three tower windows, high-quality wall paintings from around 1420 have been preserved. They depict, among other things, scenes from the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, including Christ on the Mount of Olives, the…

The 38-meter-high church tower of the Protestant church stands prominently visible and was inaugurated in 1910 after 17 months of construction. The organ, the ceiling painting, and the colorful windows radiate a special beauty. The interior of the church is designed according to the so-called "Wiesbaden Program." Accordingly, the altar, organ, and pulpit form a unity as they lie on a visual axis.

Remnants of the wall can still be seen today on the street "An der Letze." It bears various inscriptions about destruction and reconstruction. There is also the powder tower, the last preserved defense tower.
The Trinity Church on Worms' market square is a "Reformation Memorial Church" that recalls the beginnings of the Reformation in Worms. The foundation stone was laid on 31 July 1709 and the church was consecrated sixteen years later. Largely destroyed during the nights of bombing in February and March 1945, it was rebuilt by Bauhaus architect Otto Bartning from 1955 to 1959. In the top of the tower there is a carillon that plays songs from the Protestant hymnal that are appropriate for the church year. Wilhelm Buschschulte created biblical…
Tombstones attest that there was already a Christian community in Bingen in the 5th or 6th century. Probably in the Frankish period, the parish church was consecrated to Saint Martin.

Only the crypt beneath the choir and the southwest tower remain as evidence of the Romanesque church structure. After the great city fire of 1403, the current nave was rebuilt first. The side aisles were only added later, although…
