The Protestant Martin Church in Kassel was consecrated in 1462 and was, of course, a Catholic church at the time. This church was founded by the then Landgrave Phillipp of Hesse, who converted to the Protestant faith 1524 Protestant, and has remained so to this day... These are personal words from Landgrave Phillipp of Hesse. "I would rather leave body and life, country and people, than depart from God's word" The landgrave was called Phillipp the Magnanimous and lived from 1504 - 1567. Two lions are placed in front of a church entrance, you can see that, certainly not in many churches.... If this church is worth seeing from the outside, you first have to look at it from the inside.... The church was probably completely renovated, at least that was the impression I had when I saw it for the first time... I really liked the vaulted ceiling... Narrow, high support pillars hold the ceiling construction, and this ceiling vault is kept entirely white, which means that this church appears bright and friendly to the viewer...at least that's how it was for me.... Due to Corona, the seating was spartan, only a few rows of chairs that were about 2 meters apart from each other, which seemed very clear.... The altar room also seems to be something special, I have never seen any church furnishings like this in the altar area... The organ also looks great, I would like to hear it sometime... While many churches are closed during the Corona period, this church makes an exception; it is open to visitors from Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is only not open to visitors on Sundays and Saturdays... a church is, after all, a church, and church services - times are reserved for religious people... From Monday to Friday, I recommend everyone who likes to see something like this to pay a visit to the St. Martin Church here in Kassel. I'm sure everyone who sees this church from the inside for the first time will be just as excited as I was . Not every city has such a beautiful, large Protestant church... Why there is an unclothed bronze statue in front of the church on Kirch-Platz is a mystery to me, but somehow it doesn't really fit..... However, that is just my personal opinion.

I discovered this beautiful church by chance. I was very surprised to discover such a well-kept building in the area of ​​the city of Kassel

Very interesting church, modern with two very interesting organs. The historical background of the former Hessian rulers, who made a lasting commitment to the Protestant faith, is impressive. That impressed me a lot.

Beautiful big church, quiet and clear. An opportunity to simply take a break from the sunny city and think. Also a nice place right in front of it. The church is actually easy to find, the towers are always clearly visible

Beautiful church that was restored in the 50s. The organ and the horsehair curtain are special. The church contains the graves of important rulers

really beautiful church, walked up to it as we saw the top of the church from far. Wanted to go inside but had no time.

Simple, large church, typically Protestant. But also beautiful.

Was there recently and was able to take part in the wonderful organ demonstration. Mega class. Organ is one of the best and newest there is. Quarter and eighth tones!!!!

A touristic church in the heart of Kassel.

The Kassel Martinskirche is now a Protestant parish church from the 15th century (Protestant of course only from the 16th century) that was named after Martin von Tours (the one with the coat). The figure of Martin can be found not only in the name, but everywhere in the church building - on the doors, the paintings hung in the church interior, the stained glass windows in the apse. The painting is extremely worth seeing both architecturally and art-historically. Personally, what appeals to me the most is the door of the side entrance, which shows (under a stone figure of St. Martin) a group of eleven (and no longer twelve) apostles who are gathered in a semicircle around a raised, enlarged and almost floating figure of the Savior. One could almost assume a stylized Ascension motif if the apostles weren't sitting on chairs. A fascinating piece of art - if you don't visit the church, you should at least take a look at the door from the outside...

This church has a brand new organ which is quite impressive. Special interior which is a combination of old/original and new/renovation parts.

They have a new modern organ installed which is capable of anything imaginable. From the outside, the church is an icon of kassel, from the inside, a futuristic space.

Very cool organs, very good acoustics? Wish I could have heard them played, or tried them out myself, but tours are infrequent

Very neat remodeling job. The interior space is inspiring and calming, the color, the stained glass windows, the atmosphere!

Spectacular organ! In an amazing contemporary space

Christmas organ concerts with candlelight: daily until December 18th at 6 p.m. in St. Martin. A wonderful sensual experience.

Good

Great spot

Nice heavenly music

The installation and decor is modern, it is a beautiful church. It is worth to go there even if it is not your religion, just to see the architecture.

One of the best churches to visit. Simply G(OLD)

I was baptised there, Kassel is a wonderful place in which to grow up in. I miss it very much.
