Neanderkirche
Neanderkirche stands in the centre of Düsseldorf’s Altstadt as a Protestant church in the early Baroque style. Its brick and stone setting reflects the city’s religious history, with construction completed in 1687 after Protestants regained permission to build churches.
A preaching house occupied this site from 1610 until authorities closed it in 1614. The present church rose between 1683 and 1687, and its congregation inaugurated the building in 1684, before completion. In 1916, the church took its name from Joachim Neander, a Reformed minister and hymn writer.
Music gives the interior a lasting focus: a Rieger organ, designed by Gerhard Schwarz and Hubert Meyers, has sounded here since 1965. The instrument supports worship and the Sommerliche Orgelkonzerte, an annual summer series featuring Düsseldorf organists and international guests.
