Places to see in ( Wiesbaden - Germany ) Russisch Orthodoxe Kirche
The Russian Orthodox Church of Saint Elizabeth in Wiesbaden is the only Russian Orthodox church in Wiesbaden, Germany, and is located on Neroberg. Besides the Russian church there is a parsonage and a Russian cemetery, which is the largest in Europe (outside Russia itself). St. Elizabeth's Church and its parishioners belong to the Diocese of Germany in the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia.
The Russian Orthodox Church in Wiesbaden was built from 1847 to 1855 by Duke Adolf of Nassau on the occasion of the death of his wife, the 19-year-old Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mikhailovna of Russia, niece of Emperor Nicholas I. Adolf and Elizabeth married in 1844, but the following year, she died in childbirth, as did their newborn daughter. He grieved so profoundly that he decided to build a church around her grave. He obtained the money for this church, with the blessing of Tsar Nicholas, from her dowry.
Construction of the church was assigned to senior building officer (Oberbaurat) Philipp Hoffmann, who studied Russian church architecture, particularly at first in Russia. As a template for this church, he took the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow. On 25 May 1855 the church was finally dedicated in honour of St. Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist and patron saint of the deceased princess. Shortly afterwards, the coffin containing the Grand Duchess and her baby was taken in a procession from the St. Boniface's Church its previous temporary shelter, into the crypt of the Russian church and buried there.
The church is a beige building of hard sandstone, still visible everywhere on the outside. The outer layout of the church is a square with an extended arc in the north. The building is crowned with five fiery-gilt domes, with the four smaller ones surrounding the large central dome to the northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest. The domes, typically for Russian churches, are onion-shaped and have grooves running lengthwise from top to bottom. Each dome is topped by a similarly gilt Orthodox cross. All crosses point to the south; the cross in the center is above and slightly larger than the other four, which are of the same size.
The domes rest on smaller cylindrical towers, with the main one in the centre higher and wider than the others. This is also at the top under the dome completely covered with window panes cover, so that here, light can fall directly into the interior of the church. The smaller towers have rather narrow, oblong windows, through which the light falls only inside the tower, since these are not connected with the interior. The northeast tower is an exception: this contains a spiral staircase, the entrance of which is directly under the dome; from here it is possible to reach the roof of the church by a small gate in the tower.
The church has two entrances: the south and the west entrance. The south entrance was originally only for Fürsten and other members of the nobility. It offered visitors leaving the building a panorama of Wiesbaden, which stood at the feet of the church. After the fall of the last Tsar, Nicholas II, in 1917, this entrance was sealed forever. The entrance for the ordinary people and the current main entrance was the west entrance. Visitors entering the church through this door see, as in most Russian Orthodox churches, the iconostasis opposite. Medallions of particular saints, crafted from sandstone, are located above the outside entrances. A medallion of Saint Helena rests above the west entrance; at the southern entrance, one of Saint Elizabeth (in whose honour the church was also consecrated); and on the east side, above the window of the sanctuary, one of the Holy Archangel Michael. These were the patron saints of the father (Mikhail) and mother (Elena) of the Grand Duchess, as well as her own (Elizabeth). Approximately ten steps of red sandstone lead up to the entrance, which is spanned by an arch that in turn sits on each side upon two columns.

Wiesbaden is a city in the western German state of Hesse. Its neoclassical Kurhaus now houses a convention center and a casino. The Kurpark is an English-style landscaped garden designed in 1852. The red, neo-Gothic Market Church on Schlossplatz is flanked by the neoclassical City Palace, seat of State Parliament. Museum Wiesbaden displays expressionist paintings by Alexej von Jawlensky and natural history exhibits.
Lined with magnificent neoclassical buildings that were rebuilt after WWII, Wiesbaden, the state capital of Hesse, is one of Europe's oldest spa towns, with hot springs still flowing today. It's 40km west of Frankfurt, across the Rhine from Mainz. Wiesbaden's name translates as 'meadow baths', reflecting both its thermal baths and beautiful expanses of parkland. The city lies at the eastern edge of the Rheingau wine-growing region, which stretches along the Rhine's right (northern) bank west to the Rüdesheim area of the Romantic Rhine.
Renowned Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–81) amassed huge debts at the city’s gambling tables in the 1860s, which inspired his masterpiece, The Gambler. Home to the European headquarters of the US Army, Wiesbaden has a strong US military presence, with around 19,000 US citizens based here.
Wiesbaden is a historic spa city which has catered to people from countries near and far for many centuries, back to the Romans who knew it as Aquis Mattiacis. Wiesbaden is one of the oldest spa towns in Europe with 26 (today: 14) hot springs.
Today it is part of the larger Rhine area and profits from its proximity to the Frankfurt Airport and the business centre of Frankfurt. During peak times (trade fairs, conventions, etc.) a lot of business travellers stay in Wiesbaden instead of in Frankfurt and relax from the busy metropolis in this smaller city with a charming old city.
Wiesbaden is very well connected by many highways from Frankfurt, Cologne or Mainz. Trains travel frequently and are very enjoyable. Travel times by car are roughly 15 min (from Mainz), 30 min (from Frankfurt), or 2 hr (from Cologne / Köln).

Places to see in ( Wiesbaden - Germany ) St Bonifatius
Places to see in ( Wiesbaden - Germany ) St Bonifatius
St. Bonifatius in Wiesbaden, Germany, is the central Catholic parish and church in the capital of Hesse. The present building was designed by architect Philipp Hoffmann in Gothic Revival style and built from 1844 to 1849. Twin steeples of 68 m dominate the Luisenplatz. The parish is part of the Diocese of Limburg.
As Wiesbaden was Protestant after the Reformation, the first Catholic parish after the Reformation was founded in 1800. The congregation first met in a Bethaus (oratory) in the Marktstraße. It soon became too small for the growing number of Catholics in the town, which prospered as a spa and Residenz of Nassau. The parish received grounds adjacent to the Luisenplatz from the Duke of Nassau, and from 1829 to 1831 Friedrich Ludwig Schrumpf built a rigidly Neoclassical church, in keeping with the buildings around the square. Soon after the building was completed, it collapsed on 11 February 1831. A likely reason is insufficient foundation on ground which had previously been ponds.
On 24 May 1843, the young Philipp Hoffmann received the commission to build a church. He had already participated in building the town castle. His design is reminiscent of Gothic architecture, but also includes elements of Romanesque architecture and naturalistic ornaments to be found later in the Jugendstil. The foundation was laid on the day of the patron saint St. Bonifatius, on 5 June 1845. The interior was consecrated by the Bishop of Limburg Peter Josef Blum on 19 June 1849.[1] A rib vault is supported by 22 columns. The facade was completed in 1856, and the towers in 1866.
In World War II the church suffered severe damage. An air raid on 2 February 1945 destroyed all the windows, the roof, and part of the vault. Repairs made in 1949 replaced the vault with a simple construction. The vault was re-built in a general restoration in 1965, which also took into account the changes of the Second Vatican Council. A new altar by Elmar Hillebrand was added in 1967. The new windows are stained glass in mainly white, red and blue, designed by Johannes Beeck. Sculptor Karl Hoffmann created a crucifixion scene and a sculpture of both St. Francis and Teresa of Ávila.

Germany Pt 16: St. Bonifatius Church, Weisbaden
St. Bonifaces Church is the oldest church in the city centre; it was
consecrated on 19 June 1849. The master builder was Philipp Hoffmann,
who later built the Russian Chapel on the Neroberg and the synagogue on
the Michelsberg in Wiesbaden. St. Bonifaces Church is the parish church
of the Boniface parish and the municipal Catholic church of Wiesbaden
at the same time. The first impression of the interior is determined by
movement toward the centre, towards the main altar in the crossing and
the composure and peace that lead inwardly through numerous prayer
candles and the warmth radiated by the stained-glass windows.

Kapelle St Martin in Hoheneiche - Ancient Church in Hessen Germany
Kapelle St Martin in Hoheneiche Germany. The church of St Martin in Wehretal also know as the town of Hoheneiche in Hessen Germany. It has the remains of the infamous Elisabeth portal, which holds a rich history.
As held in the papal archives witness a report of 1233 on the first miracle cure of a native of Hoheneiche girl named Adelhaidi which was recovered on 19 November 1231 at the newly created grave of St. Elizabeth of Hungary from their suffering, is considered first mention of the place. The Location 1264 mentioned again, as Hoheneiche of Thuringia comes to the newly created Landgraviate Hesse. The first built in the Romanesque chapel of St. Martin was extended in 1300 to the church and got a choir tower. The church fell, as well as other buildings in 1637 by a fire, the Croats had kindled during a raid. During reconstruction it was decided to increase the tower with a timbered floor.
The noble place owned by the lords of Boyneburg came in 1654 for Landgrave Official Bischhausen. Between 1807 and 1813 the site was part of the Canton Reichensachsen the Kingdom of Westphalia. On August 21, 1801 traveled Johann Wolfgang von Goethe by Hoheneiche and records the church. At the time, led the trade route from Leipzig to Holland right through the village. Since 1821 the village belonged to the district Eschwege. Source - --- and we read further in German, roughly translated to English that the church is very important to this town…
The St. Martin Church of Hoheneiche impressed impressive silhouette of the townscape. It represents an art-historical treasure, whose importance to our site can not be overestimated. The church is a cultural center of our village whose charisma that goes far beyond the village. From Martin church traces can take up to four large German: to St. Elizabeth to Luther, Bach and Goethe. Source --- - This was all part of our trip to find our ancestors and in particular the roots of Casper Dilling. See: Kapelle St Martin in Hoheneiche or Wehretal Germany
