Die Schlosskirche war damals die evangelische Kirche von Bad Homburg. Hier fanden aber auch Gottesdienste anderer christlicher Religionen statt. So gab es ab 1840 auch anglikanische Gottesdienste - bis zum Bau der Englischen Kirche. Dann konnten hier (ab ca. 1868) Gottesdienste der presbyterianischen Church of Scotland abgehalten werden.

The castle church (Schlosskirche) was inaugurated on 25 July 1697. It was the city church of the evangelical Lutheran until its secularisation in 1908 after building of the Erlöserkirche. Then the castle church was seldom used. Only after 1982 new ideas were formed for the usage of this church and renovation started. Today you can listen to concert and watch performances.

The castle church was the church for the Lutheran people of Bad Homburg. But, it was used by various other christian religions too. From about 1840 Anglican Church held church services in this building - until the Englische Kirche was built. Then also the Presbyterian Church of Scotland used the castle church for church services (from about 1868).
