The Brunnenkirche is an originally Romanesque church in the city center of Erfurt .

Their name comes from the fact that their choir was built over a pre-Christian well that was dedicated to the goddess Silvia . The church was built in 1253 and restored in both 1701 and 1954. The tower of the church has already been largely demolished. In 1957 the well was filled.

Today the church is used by the Catholic theological faculty of the University of Erfurt .
