Belonging to the English Church Heidelberg

The English Church Heidelberg is totally self-supporting. We receive no income through German taxes or from our diocese. Every euro we spend we need to raise ourselves. We are very grateful, therefore, for any donations and financial support received. Thank you for considering making a payment to The English Church Heidelberg.

Payments can be made to:
Englische Kirche Heidelberg
Sparkasse Heidelberg
IBAN: DE39 6725 0020 0000 0073 58

Of course finances are not everything - what would a church be without the people. If you would like to play an active role in our community you can join the Electoral Roll and the Verein. By joining the Verein money donated can be deducted from taxes payable in Germany. The Verein der Freunde und Förderer der englischen Kirche Heidelberg e.V. (Friends and Patrons of the English Church Heidelberg) is the recognised charity which finances our church under German law.

Forms for joining the Verein are available from our Verein Chair, Elaine Griffiths, or can be downloaded here: Verein Application Form.

The Electoral Roll is a way for the Diocese to see the strength (by numbers) of the individual parishes. If you are a regularly attending member it is a good idea to join the Electoral Roll. Membership on the Roll also gives you the right to vote at the Annual General Meeting and to be part of the council. Please speak with the chaplain if you are interested in joining us in this manner.
