Mutter Gottes Kirche, or Mother of God Church, was founded by German immigrants to Covington in 1841. The surrounding neighborhoods of tree-lined streets and brick town homes are named for this beautiful landmark. Mutter Gottes neighborhood was one of the first residential expansions of Covington, and most structures there were built between 1860 and 1890. The area—bound by Fourth Street on the north, Pike Street on the south, the CSX railway to the west, and Washington Street to the east—is listed as a National Registered Historic District. Noteworthy historic structures include the fire station on Sixth Street and the Albert B. Koette house on Russell Street. A garden at the intersection of Sixth and Craig contains the Neighborhood Mosaic sign.
