about

On February 3, 1898, the church council decided to build St. Anne's Church in Krefeld, Germany. After only two years of construction, the church was completed in July 1903. Due to the Second World War, the church was almost completely destroyed by a bombing raid on June 22, 1943. The high altar was miraculously not destroyed. The reconstruction of the church was then carried out and rededicated with the St. Annafest on July 23, 1950. Since January 1, 2014, St. Anna's Church has been the parish church of the newly founded parish "Most Holy Trinity." On May 22, 2023 American singer/songcyclist John Elliott performed in the church and this is a recording of that concert.
