Dreik�nigskirche
Church of the Magi

Inside the old Church of the Magi in Sachsenhausen.  The first church was built in 1340 as a chapel to one of Heile Dymar's hospitals.  Around 1500 it received its late gothic vaulting.  The congregation was one of the first in the city to embrace the Reformation, and the first Protestant preacher took his post in 1531.  The old dilapidated church was torn down in 1875 and the newer church built on the same site by cathedral architect Denzinger.  This photo is the old Dreikoenigskskirche seen in 1875.
