In 2010, the Mainz patron Stefan Schmitz took on the now severely dilapidated ruin. Since 2012, the "Initiative St. Christoph" has aimed to restore the dignity of the site using public and private funds. Together with the city of Mainz, a plan was created to renovate the memorial by the 70th anniversary of its destruction on February 27, 2015.
This plan has been successfully implemented. The restoration of the ruin, the tower, and the outdoor facilities has been completed. An exhibition inside the church ruin has turned the memorial into a cross-generational place of remembrance since 2015. Modern brightly colored glass panels illustrate the history of St. Christoph and provide information about the era of National Socialism and World War II in Mainz. Historical photographs highlight the extensive destruction of the city until the end of the war.
