While the exterior is kept simple and easy, the inside expresses the rococo spirit in colours and vitality. The design with the sanctuary is normal for your Protestant view of the equivalence on the altar (sacrament), pulpit (sermon and exegesis) and organ (worship / community involvement). Several Corinthian columns in the sanctuary symbolize the 4 Gospels. Three putti symbolize the theological virtues, faith (using the cup), hope (the anchor) and - inside the center - charity, based on 1 Corinthians 13:13. Charity holds the law, the Ten Commandments. A realistic representation of the crucifixion is flanked by a golden halo. Twelve Doric columns offer the galleries along the nave, representing the Twelve Apostles, the Twelve tribes of Israel plus the community of the congregation. All wood carvings are derived from the Frankfurt wood sculptor Johann Daniel Schnorr. The pulpit while using the Blazonry of Nassau-Usingen, the brand from the sovereign Charles, Prince of Nassau-Usingen, is often a symbol of absolutism: This issue who looks as much as the preacher on the Gospel, also needs to identify that you will find there's secular lord.
The altar cross emanates from the contemporary metal sculptor Professor Klump (Wiesbaden), crafted from gold with rock crystal being a symbol of Christ, and twelve rubies for the Apostles and then for feeding the multitude.
The Paternoster bronze bell was cast in 1430 in Mainz, bearing the inscription "Meyster John on the gos Mence mec".
