Origin and history

The church of Christ the King of Bischheim is a religious monument located in the municipality of Bischheim, in the Grand East Region. The available data do not specify the period of its construction or its detailed history, but its name evokes a dedication to Christ the King, a liturgical title that appeared at the beginning of the twentieth century. The churches dedicated to Christ the King developed mainly after the establishment of the feast of Christ the King in 1925 by Pope Pius XI.

In the Alsatian context, these buildings often reflect local religious history, marked by both Catholic and Protestant influences. Bischheim, like other communes in the region, has had a community life centered around its places of worship, playing a major social and spiritual role for its inhabitants.
