Frankfurt Germany Temple

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Frankfurt Germany Temple is the 43rd constructed and 41st operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Located in the city of Friedrichsdorf, Germany, it was built with the same general architecture as the six-spire design used in the Boise, Chicago, and Dallas temples, but it was only given a single-spire. The Frankfurt Germany Temple was announced on April 1, 1981, and originally dedicated on August 28, 1987 by Ezra Taft Benson. The temple was built on a 5 acre plot, has 4 ordinance rooms and 5 sealing rooms, and has a total floor area of 24,170 square feet. A previous German temple was dedicated in Freiberg, Germany in June 1985.

After the reunification of Germany in 1990, Germany became the only country outside of the United States to have more than one temple.
