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.

[2][3] The Frankfurt Germany Temple was announced on April 1, 1981, and originally dedicated on August 28, 1987, by church president Ezra Taft Benson.

Germany's first temple was dedicated in Freiberg in June 1985, in what was then part of the German Democratic Republic.

[7] In 2020, like all others in the church, the Frankfurt Germany Temple was closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
