Wiesbaden’s St. Bonifatius Church: A Monument Under Renovation

The St. Bonifatius Church in Wiesbaden, a prominent landmark on Luisenplatz, is currently undergoing a comprehensive restoration project. This extensive renovation, the largest since the church’s construction, began eight years ago and is expected to continue for another four. The project has encompassed both the interior and exterior, with a focus on preserving the original architectural design while addressing the effects of time and weather. The church’s two towers have been meticulously restored, with each stone being carefully examined and, where necessary, replaced with new ones crafted to match the originals. The restoration project has also involved the replacement of corroded iron anchors that hold the masonry together. The church’s windows are being removed, cleaned, and reinstalled, while the exterior plaster is being replaced with a traditional earthen clay material, echoing the original construction techniques. The project, overseen by the Diocese of Limburg, represents a significant investment in preserving a piece of Wiesbaden’s architectural heritage.
