Protestant churches
Evangelical churches of the Württemberg regional church
The almost 100 Protestant church buildings and preaching sites in the Stuttgart area belong to a total of 72 parishes . They all together form the Stuttgart church district , which on January 1, 2008 was composed of the four church districts of Stuttgart (up to then 22 parishes), Bad Cannstatt (up to then 20 parishes), Degerloch (up to then 21 parishes) and Zuffenhausen (up to then 11 parishes) originated. Individual parishes thus have several churches or preaching offices. In some cases, parishes have also merged to form overall parishes (e.g. Stuttgart, Bad Cannstatt and Degerloch), but remain independent corporations under public law. The entire parish of Stuttgart was congruent with the church district of Stuttgart. It continues to exist as the “Gesamtkirchengemeinde Stuttgart” corporation, but its church district tasks have been transferred to the church district of Stuttgart.
Most of the Protestant parishes in Stuttgart emerged in the 19th century in the historical districts of Stuttgart, when the parishes were separated from the political parishes. As a result of strong growth, some new church congregations were later detached from these congregations, so that the number of church congregations increased sharply until the 1970s. Recently, some of these new parishes have reunited to form larger parishes (for example in Feuerbach, Zuffenhausen or Stuttgart-Nord).
The former church districts of Stuttgart and Bad Cannstatt, which are superordinate to the parishes, go back to the division of the Kingdom of Württemberg into upper offices. At that time, in addition to the secular bailiff, a special superintendent was appointed who was responsible for church affairs. The special superintendents were later given the title of Dean. It was not until 1938 that Degerloch became the seat of a church district that emerged from the area of the dean's office for the Stuttgart district office , which was separated from the city dean's office in Stuttgart in 1819. The Zuffenhausen church district was established in 1965 when the Bad Cannstatt church district was divided. In 1990, the Bad Cannstatt church district was reduced to the parishes in the city of Stuttgart by assigning its eastern parishes to the Waiblingen church district. Since then, the four church districts of Stuttgart have only included parishes within the city of Stuttgart. In 2008 the four church districts in the city of Stuttgart were united to form the church district of Stuttgart. The churches in Stuttgart are listed in alphabetical order in the following overview.

It was planned to replace them as soon as the money for a “real” church is together. The lifespan of this wooden church was estimated at 30 years. In the following decades there were other problems than renewing this Church. Due to the wood protection measures that are possible today, this wooden church will be preserved for a very long time. In 1967 the organ in the church was renewed and in 1968 a stained glass window "Der Wiederkommende Herr" (The Returning Man), donated by Martin Single, was installed. The stained glass window bears the inscription: “Donated in 1968 by Martin Single in memory of his son Ewald, who died in Russia in March 1944.” The Evangelical parish belonging to the Föhrich Church has been (again) part of the Evangelical parish of Feuerbach since January 1, 2005.

Inside there is a concrete work in the altar area by Emil Cimiotti and a tower window by Max Ackermann . The memorial parish has been the seat of the Stuttgart city dean since 1970. This is also where the International Bach Academy has its roots. In 2001 the parish merged with the Rosenberg parish to form the new Evangelical Memorial and Rosenberg parish. | |

The church window by Hans Schreiner (1987) has texts from the Sermon on the Mount. | |
Heilandskirche | east | 48 ° 47 ′ 27 "N, 9 ° 12 ′ 15" E | 1964 | Duchess Wera von Württemberg donated a simple traveling church to the residents of East Stuttgart in 1899 not far from Villa Berg. In 1911 she even donated a new building, which was built in 1913 in the neo-Romanesque style by the architect Ludwig Eisenlohr . The sculptural decoration of the facade and the main portal was created by Josef Zeitler . As a special feature, the deed of foundation shows that only those theologians should be active in the church who “are wholeheartedly on the positive ground and uncritical teaching of Holy Scripture and the Apostles' Creed”. So the community of old pietists also received a corresponding worship room. In 1944 the church was destroyed, but it was rebuilt in 1964, modified.

After the construction of the Pauluskirche in 1903, the old Zuffenhausen church was named Johanniskirche, later Johanneskirche. It burned down in 1944 and was rebuilt from 1951 to 1956. When the church district of Zuffenhausen was formed in 1965, the Johanneskirche was designated as the seat of the dean. In 1977/78 the church was expanded to include the "Johanneshof" parish hall. In 2000, the Johanneskirche congregation merged with the parishes that were separated from it in the 20th century, the Paulus and Michaelskirchengemeinde Neuwirtshaus, to form today's Evangelical Parish in Zuffenhausen. | |

All the details of the church, such as lamps, paraments and door handles, are made from one piece. In the courtyard there is a fountain whose water is used for baptismal services in summer. With the construction of the church, the Evangelical Church Community of Sonnenberg also became independent. | ||
Kreuzkirche | Hedelfingen | 48 ° 45 ′ 29 "N, 9 ° 15 ′ 22" E | The Kreuzkirche from 1929/1930 represents the first church building in Stuttgart in the objectified Bauhaus-oriented style of New Building, which also characterizes the architecture of the Weißenhofsiedlung (1927). Although the young Swiss architect Paul Trüdinger initially received little approval from the parish council with his modern plan, he finally managed to find a majority with a bold design and the associated optimal use of space. Thanks to the iron framework construction technique he used, large spans could be achieved so that supports could be dispensed with. The church interior with a semicircular apse can be opened through a folding door to the community hall, in the massive tower there are three community rooms. The lightness of the building was underlined by a surrounding band of light and writing (text from Ephesians 4, 4–6) so that the smooth ceiling appears to float. The church is almost completely preserved in its original form and is used for church services, congregation groups and cultural purposes. | ||
Kreuzkirche | Heslach | 48 ° 45 ′ 35 "N, 9 ° 9 ′ 3" E | The district of Heslach, which today belongs to the Stuttgart-Süd district, was originally a small hamlet that, although always part of Stuttgart, was spatially separated from it. In 1497, a first chapel is attested in Heslach, but it was dilapidated and was therefore replaced in 1503 by a new “Our Lady” building. However, this pilgrimage church did not survive the Reformation. It was demolished in 1542 and the stones were used to build the old chancellery. In 1548 a new church was finally built on Bihlplatz, not far from today's Kreuzkirche. The associated parish was initially looked after by the pastor in Botnang, and from 1751 by the pastor of the Stuttgart garrison church (which no longer exists). In 1826 a parish of its own was established in Heslach. In the 19th century, the district of Heslach (referred to as "Karlsvorstadt" from 1889), so that the church became too small. Therefore, a new church, the Matthäuskirche, was built in 1881 on Möhringer Straße, at today's Erwin-Schoettle-Platz, and the old Heslacher church (again) demolished. The crucifix of the old church was transferred to the new building. But soon this church was no longer sufficient. In 1908, not far from today's Kreuzkirche, an emergency church, the so-called (old) Kreuzkirche, was built. In 1913 the associated Kreuzgemeinde was separated from the Matthäusgemeinde and became independent, but the congregation had to wait until 1931 for a new church to be built. The (new) Kreuzkirche was built directly at the Heslach cemetery in 1930–31, built by the architect Rudolf Behr in the “new objectivity” style. The church got a four-part bell ringing. After the number of parish members had shrunk in the first years of the 21st century, the Kreuzgemeinde merged on January 1, 2006 with the Matthew parish, from which it was split off, to form the new Evangelical parish in Stuttgart Heslach. | ||
Laurentiuskirche | pipe | 48 ° 43 ′ 0 ″ N, 9 ° 6 ′ 19 ″ E | The old village of Rohr had a church that can be traced back to the 14th century. However, only the tower of this old church exists, which was given a half-timbered tower in 1740. The ship was rebuilt in 1926 by the architect Martin Elsaesser , but this was also demolished at the end of the 1970s due to structural damage. In 1980 the architects Rainer Zinsmeister and Giselher Scheffler built a modern community center. In addition to the church service room, community rooms, apartments, a kindergarten and a diakonia station were built. | ||
Leonhard's Church | center | 48 ° 46 '24 "N, 9 ° 10' 50" E | The second oldest church in the city after the collegiate church was built in 1337 as a field chapel for St. Leonhard at the gates of the city. Around 1408 a single-nave church was built on the same site, from which 1463–1466 under Aberlin Jörg a three-aisled church was built in today's size in the late Gothic style. Bombed out in 1944 and rebuilt in a simplified manner in 1948–54. In 1522 the humanist Johannes Reuchlin was buried in the church . In front of the church, on the side of the choir, the crucifixion group by Hans Seyfer (1501; replica from 1976, the original is in the hospital church). In the Leonhardskirche u. a. Gustav Schwab (from 1841 to 1845). The social project Vesperkirche Stuttgart has been carried out here since 1995 . | ||
Ludwig Hofacker Church | center | 48 ° 46 ′ 11 "N, 9 ° 11 ′ 15" E | The church in the Dobel district was rebuilt in 1950 by Otto Bartning in place of a church built by the architect Zacharias Schäffer in 1932 and completely destroyed in the Second World War. It is one of 48 so-called emergency churches in Germany. Partly from rubble and with American donations were built according to standardized construction plans. All these buildings are typical witnesses of their era due to their simple construction and formal rigor. The church got its name from the revival preacher Ludwig Hofacker (1798–1828). | ||
Lukas Church | east | 48 ° 47 ′ 13 "N, 9 ° 12 ′ 16" E | The Lukaskirche was built in 1898/1899 by the architects Wittmann & Stahl with early Gothic elements as a hall church with a small choir and gallery churches. It was inaugurated in the presence of the Württemberg royal couple. The 61 m high tower has become Ostheim's landmark. The facade is made of a combination of clinker and natural stone, and on the outside there are also cast-iron balconies and varying gable shapes. The nave of the church was destroyed in the Second World War. In 1948–1951 it was rebuilt and redesigned based on the previous structure. The interior features an organ by Weigle , a crucifix, principal pieces and stained glass windows under the side gallery and in the ship by Helmuth Uhrig . 1977–1978 the church was redesigned again. The church served as the backdrop for the filming of the television series "Pfarrerin Lenau", which was shown on ARD in 1990/91. On January 1, 2005, the Lukas Congregation merged with the neighboring Lutherhaus Congregation to form the new Evangelical Lukas and Lutherhaus Congregation. But both churches will remain as preaching and event locations for the time being. | ||
Lutherhauskirche | east | 48 ° 47 '15 "N, 9 ° 12' 51" E | The church was built in 1928 by the architect Schäffer as a so-called reform church (= church hall, community rooms, kindergarten and apartments are united under one roof). It is a well-preserved example of the architecture of the “ Stuttgart School ” with expressionist elements. On January 1, 2005, the Luther House Congregation merged with the neighboring Lukas Congregation to form the new Evangelical Lukas and Luther House Congregation. But both churches will remain as preaching and event locations for the time being. | ||
Luther Church | Bad Cannstatt | 48 ° 48 '16 "N, 9 ° 13' 26" E | The Cannstatter Lutherkirche on Waiblinger Strasse was built between 1895 and 1900 according to plans by Richard Böklen and Carl Feil . It is one of the first brick-built churches in southern Germany. It is modeled on the style of French cathedrals, but shows an independent architecture, a compact floor plan, side galleries that provide an overview, generous lighting of the windows and durable material. The tower is decorated with small corner turrets, the capitals are adorned with plant decorations. In February 1944 the choir and sacristy of the church were destroyed, but the church was rededicated in 1950. The interior renovation was carried out in the 1970s. The windows in the choir were created by Wolf-Dieter Kohler . The Luther parish belongs to the Evangelical General Church Parish Bad Cannstatt. | ||
Luther Church | Feuerbach | 48 ° 48 '38 "N, 9 ° 9' 39" E | The Luther Church was built in 1983 in connection with the Burgenland Center. This gave the community its long-awaited space for its community work. The interior design (art glass windows and wooden altar group) was carried out by Jörn Ehlers. Before that, the Luther Community held its services in a former inn "Zum Goldenen Schlüssel", which was redesigned in the 1920s and which was initially called the Luther Hall. It later became the "Luther Church". The Protestant parish belonging to the Luther Church has been (again) part of the Feuerbach Protestant parish since January 1, 2005. | ||
St. Mark's Church | south | 48 ° 45 ′ 53 "N, 9 ° 10 ′ 27" E | The church was built in 1906/1908 by the architect Heinrich Dolmetsch in Art Nouveau style. It is a three-aisled hall church in plastered masonry. The side-mounted tower (48.5 m) is one of the world's first sacred buildings made of reinforced concrete. The pulpit inlays by Rudolf Yelin the Elder are of the interior . Ä. and the altar decorations in craft leather with wooden inlays should be mentioned. The organ's prospectus is the only one north of the Alps made of stone. The position of the organ and the singing gallery behind the altar is exceptional. The interior, which was restored in 1976-78, is a unified hall, which is spanned by a barrel vault with cassettes. The church, named after the Evangelist Mark, remained almost undamaged during World War II. Therefore, after the war, it moved into the focus of the world public. On the evening of October 17, 1945, an evening service was celebrated in the Markuskirche and on the following day the “ Stuttgart confession of guilt ” was formulated. This is a declaration by the Evangelical Church in Germany that it is complicit in National Socialism. This confession of guilt was handed over on October 19th by the EKD Council to a delegation from the World Council of Churches. To commemorate this event, a plaque is attached to the Markuskirche. | ||
Martin Luther Church | Sillenbuch | 48 ° 44 ′ 54 "N, 9 ° 13 ′ 4" E | The small town of Sillenbuch initially belonged to Hedelfingen, from 1441 to Rohracker. When the tram line to Stuttgart opened in 1930, the place grew rapidly and in 1933 it received its own church, the Martin Luther Church. | ||
Martinskirche | North | 48 ° 47 ′ 43 "N, 9 ° 11 ′ 20" E | When the urban area of Stuttgart expanded northwards in the 19th century, the Martinsgemeinde was founded in 1887. In 1889 she received a chapel - with financial support from Paul Lechler . In 1908 the Erlöserkirche was built on Birkenwaldstraße and separated from the Martinsgemeinde as an independent parish. In 1933 the Brenz parish separated from the Erlöserkirchen parish after the latter had also built its own church. It was not until 1937 that the mother parish received a new church near the Prague cemetery , but the building was badly damaged by bombs in 1944. In the 1990s, the number of parishioners in all parishes decreased. Therefore, the Martinsgemeinde merged with the Erlösergemeinde and the Brenzgemeinde on January 1, 1997 to form the new Evangelical Church Community of Stuttgart-Nord. In addition to the three churches, the parish on the Killesberg has another preaching place, the Christophkirche, built in 1970, which belonged to the Brenz parish until 1996. | ||
Martinskirche | Möhringen | 48 ° 43 ′ 33 "N, 9 ° 8 ′ 41" E | A small wooden church was built in Möhringen as early as the 6th century. Then in the 13th century there was a stone church. This church was single-nave, narrow and low and received its first organ after the Reformation in 1595. In 1840 the church had become so dilapidated that it had to be rebuilt. This was built in the neo-Gothic style by Christian Friedrich von Leins in 1852–1855 . The new nave was connected to the old Gothic choir of the previous church. The font from 1595 and the stone pulpit of the previous church were transferred to the new church. The 63 m high new tower can be seen from afar. The church is popularly referred to as “Filderdom” because of its size (the nave with galleries has a total of 1700 seats). On 15./16. In March 1944, the church was partially destroyed after an air raid and rebuilt in a simplified form in 1948/49. Today it only has 700 places. The Martinskirche parish today belongs to the Evangelical Community Parish Möhringen. | ||
Martinskirche | Plieningen | 48 ° 42 ′ 5 "N, 9 ° 12 ′ 56" E | The oldest church in Stuttgart has its origins as a Romanesque stone building in the St. Martinus Church, which was built in the 12th century. This is indicated by the arched windows, an arched frieze with rams and human heads and relief panels under the eaves. The current church was completed in 1517 in the late Gothic style. Inside, a crucifix from 1520, the stucco ceiling from 1751, the double gallery from 1901 and glass windows by Wolf-Dieter Kohler from 1966 can be admired. | ||
Matthew Church | south | 48 ° 45 '43 "N, 9 ° 9' 39" E | As a replacement for the old Heslach church on Bihlplatz, which had become too small, the Matthäuskirche was built on Möhringer Strasse, at today's Erwin-Schoettle-Platz, in the neo-Romanesque style in 1876-81 by the architect Wolff according to plans by Konrad Dollinger . The old church on Bihlplatz was demolished. However, the crucifix of this church was transferred to the Matthäuskirche. This gave the parish of Heslach (now Matthäusgemeinde), which had had its own pastor since 1826, a new, larger church. In 1913, the Kreuzgemeinde was separated from it, which had had its own emergency church at the Heslach cemetery since 1908 and was finally given a new building in 1931 (for more details see Kreuzkirche Heslach). Because of its size, especially the 44 m high dome and the 65 m high slender tower, the St. Matthew's Church was soon referred to as "Heslach Cathedral". In 1943 the Matthäuskirche was badly damaged, but the church could be used again the following year. In July and September 1944 the church was damaged again, so that parts of the vault collapsed, the organ was destroyed and the church roof burned. After the war, reconstruction began and was completed in 1950. The church received a Weigle organ on which "International Organ Concerts" take place. The Gothic crucifix from the old Heslach church was saved during the war because it had been moved to the Bad Friedrichshall salt mine . | ||
Michael's house | Freiberg | 48 ° 50 ′ 31 "N, 9 ° 12 ′ 32" E | The Evangelical Church Community of Stuttgart-Freiberg was founded in 1967 for the new Freiberg district that was created in 1965. The young congregation was able to move into its own church service room in 1976 in the form of the Evangelisches Michaelshaus congregation center. The community center is a model. In 1989, instead of the usual bell tower, a separate tower with a carillon was erected in front of the building. Since May 2005, the Evangelical Church Community Freiberg, together with the parishes of Rot, Mönchfeld and the Nazarius community of Stuttgart-Zazenhausen, have formed the Evangelical General Church Community of Himmelsleiter, which got its name from an old designation. | ||
Michaelskirche | Degerloch | 48 ° 44 ′ 46 "N, 9 ° 10 ′ 15" E | Degerloch belonged to Möhringen until the 15th century, but there was a small church for a long time. In 1468 Degerloch became its own parish and soon a small Gothic church was built. In 1621 the builder Heinrich Schickhardt extended the ship to double its length. Nevertheless, the church became too small in the 19th century due to the rapid growth of the community. Today's Michaelskirche was built in 1890 by the architect Christian Friedrich von Leins and the construction management of the architect Heinrich Dolmetsch as a three-aisled church in the neo-Romanesque style and consecrated on November 23, 1890. The choir windows come from Walter Kohler, whose father was pastor there from 1922 to 1934. In 1938, the Michaelskirche became the seat of the church district Degerloch, which emerged from the area of the then disbanded Amtsoberamt Stuttgart. This administrative district was ecclesiastically led by a dean. Mostly it was the pastor of the Leonhardskirche. In 1919 the deanery was relocated to Plieningen and in 1938 to Degerloch. The church district grew steadily and eventually became the largest church district of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg. Therefore, on January 1, 1981, the new Bernhausen church district was established for the communities on the Filder Plain outside Stuttgart and some of them were assigned to the Böblingen church district. Since then, the church district of Degerloch only includes Stuttgart parishes. The Michaelsgemeinde Degerloch today belongs to the Evangelical Church Community of Degerloch. | ||
Michaelskirche | Neuwirtshaus | 48 ° 50 ′ 9 "N, 9 ° 8 ′ 34" E | For the rapidly growing population in Zuffenhausen, the Michaelskirche was built in 1938 in the Neuwirtshaus district by Professor Heim in Scandinavian style. Bishop Wurm consecrated them. On the side of the altar, the church has red chalk paintings depicting the life story of Jesus from his birth to his ascension. In 1955, the Johann-Albrecht-Bengel-Haus was built in the east of the associated parish as a further preaching site with an associated kindergarten. The simple church with a turret , in which two small bells hang, received a large enamel cross from Wolf-Dieter Kohler in 1973 . In 2004 this building was sold to the Romanian Orthodox parish of Jesus Christ's Birth in Stuttgart. This is currently converting the church into an orthodox church. The Michaelskirchengemeinde, which was separated from the Johanneskirche community in the 20th century, merged with this and the neighboring Pauluskirchengemeinde in Zuffenhausen to form the Evangelical Church Community of Zuffenhausen. | ||
Michaelskirche | Cheeks | 48 ° 46 ′ 12 "N, 9 ° 14 ′ 28" E | Presumably there was a church in Wangen that was dedicated to Saint Michael very early on. However, today's church was only built around 1250 as a single-nave choir tower church. Loopholes and defensive walls identify it as a fortified church. There is a figurative representation of Michael on the tower. The sacrament house was built in 1360. Stefan Waid's baptismal font dates from 1495. In the 17th century the tower and nave were raised, and in the 19th century the nave was widened. In 1903 it was significantly rebuilt. She received a painting with Art Nouveau motifs in the choir, on the galleries and on the front wall of the ship. These wall and wood paintings were renovated in 1999. | ||
Nazarius Church | Zazenhausen | 48 ° 50 ′ 29 "N, 9 ° 11 ′ 53" E | The church in the old village of Zazenhausen was built in 1582 with a Gothic timber frame door. Before that there was already a chapel there. The church was named after a martyr from the early 4th century. On the church square, a walk-in labyrinth is embedded in the pavement, which is a somewhat reduced representation of the labyrinth from the cathedral in Chartes. Since May 2005, the Evangelical Church Community of Zazenhausen, together with the neighboring communities of Rot, Freiberg and Mönchfeld, has formed the Evangelical General Church Community of Himmelsleiter, which got its name from an old designation. | ||
Nicodemus Church | Botnang | 48 ° 46 ′ 32 "N, 9 ° 10 ′ 54" E | The church with community center and kindergarten was built in 1967 as the second preaching point of the Evangelical Church Congregation Botnang. It is located on Fleckenwaldweg in a residential area from the 1920s and 1930s. Another preaching point of the parish has been the Solitude Palace Church since 1966. | ||
Oswald Church | Weilimdorf | 48 ° 48 ′ 58 "N, 9 ° 6 ′ 37" E | Built in the 12th century by the Guelphs; The church received its present appearance in the 15th century (nave from 1472); Tower increased in 1595; valuable interior decoration (Entombment of Christ by Hans Seyfer). As a result of the strong growth of the community, new districts with their own churches (Wolfbuschkirche, Stephanuskirche Giebel and Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Kirche) emerged around Weilimdorf in the 20th century, where independent parishes were established. However, together with the Oswald parish, these continue to form the overall Evangelical parish of Stuttgart-Weilimdorf. | ||
Paul Gerhardt Church | west | 48 ° 46 ′ 35 "N, 9 ° 8 ′ 51" E | In 1926 a small church was built by the builder Zacharias Schäffer, which was almost completely destroyed in July 1944. The architect Paul Heim built today's Paul Gerhardt Church on the foundations of the old church in 1951. She received an organ from the Rensch company. A year later, the Paul-Gerhardt-Hof with community room, apartments, kindergarten, "Pfarrwitwenheim" and Brunnenhof was completed. Serenade concerts and community festivals take place here in summer. In 1976 the new Paul-Gerhardt-Hof was inaugurated. | ||
Pauluskirche | west | 48 ° 46 ′ 10 ″ N, 9 ° 9 ′ 1 ″ E | The architect Theophil Frey built the Pauluskirche in neo-Gothic style for the rapidly growing West district in 1896–1898. The church was destroyed during World War II. After the war, the Paulus community initially found a place to stay in an emergency church on Leipziger Platz. In 1961 the new Pauluskirche was inaugurated. It was built according to plans by Heinz Rall and Hans Röper and has a 46 m high tower that overlooks the West district. Inside the modern complex, the concrete glass windows by Christian Oehler catch the eye. They show scenes from the Bible. The crucifix dates from around 1500. The Pauluskirche is also the host of the Eritrean community. The former Paulus Emergency Church on Leipziger Platz has since been handed over to the Greek Orthodox community. | ||
Pauluskirche | Zuffenhausen | 48 ° 49 ′ 54 "N, 9 ° 10 ′ 24" E | The church was built from 1901 to 1903 for the rapidly growing population of Zuffenhausen on a small hill in the center of the village by the architect Dolmetsch, after the previous old church (today Johanneskirche) had become too small. The 49 m high tower has meanwhile become the emblem of the city district. After it was destroyed in the Second World War, it was rebuilt in different ways. The outer walls are made of ocher-colored brick in the style of late romanticism. There is a concrete glass window by Christian Oehler in the choir. In 1983/84 the interior was redesigned. The pictures and glass windows come from Willy Wiedmann , Stuttgart. He designed them in the style of his polycon painting . In 1990, a three-manual, fully mechanical Mühleisen grinder organ was installed. The Paulus community, which was separated from the Johanneskirche community in the 20th century, merged with this and the neighboring Michaelskirchengemeinde Neuwirtshaus to form the Evangelical Church Community of Zuffenhausen in 2000. | ||
Petruskirche | Gablenberg | 48 ° 46 ′ 36 "N, 9 ° 12 ′ 17" E | The small hamlet of Gablenberg, which always belongs to Stuttgart, received a small church in the 18th century. A parish administration and later a parish of its own was set up for the place, which grew rapidly, especially in the 19th century. In 1900–02 the architect Theophil Frey (1845–1904) built a new church in neo-early Gothic style, which was named Petruskirche, in place of the old village church. The nave is a spanned hall structure with a cross vault, built from red Maulbronn sandstone with brick walls. The special thing about the church is that the worship room is on the upper floor. The choir windows were made by Prof. Rudolf Yelin the Elder. J. designed and show scenes from the life of Peter. The tower of the Petruskirche is 67.4 meters high, the tallest church tower in Stuttgart [1] . | ||
Petruskirche | Obertürkheim | 48 ° 46 ′ 4 ″ N, 9 ° 16 ′ 9 ″ E | In Obertürkheim, a pilgrimage chapel is documented for the first time in 1285. This was extended to a Gothic church in 1484 and a Protestant church in 1549. The special features of the church include the reticulated vault, a late Gothic statue of Peter and old grave tablets. The church is surrounded by a cemetery. In the 18th century the church was renewed. It received a slightly baroque interior. In 1927 the community built a second church, the Andreas Church. Both churches are thus preaching offices of the Evangelical Church Community Obertürkheim. | ||
Rosenberg Church | west | 48 ° 46 ′ 32 "N, 9 ° 10 ′ 54" E | In 1908 a "traveling church" was set up in the rapidly growing West district, which had already been located elsewhere. A rapidly growing parish gathered in it until the Second World War. In 1943 the church was destroyed. Afterwards the services took place in the neighboring parish hall and finally in private apartments. In 1956, the architect Erwin Rohrberg built the new church on Rosenbergstrasse, a modern church building that has since received several awards. The church resembles a ship: the bell tower on the street is the mast, the roof laid in waves and the vaulted choir of the church building are the sails and the parabolic interior resembles a ship's bow. The church was furnished by leading Stuttgart artists (e.g. Rudolf Yelin , Ernst Yelin , Ulrich Henn ). In 2001 the Rosenberg parish merged with the neighboring memorial parish to form the new Evangelical Memorial and Rosenberg parish.
In 2012, the architects carried out a thorough renovation with alterations. |

Castle church in the old castle | center | 48 ° 46 ′ 36 "N, 9 ° 10 ′ 45" E | Built 1558-62 by the master builder Aberlin Tretsch as the first and third new Protestant church in Württemberg (after the Neuburg castle chapel on the Danube in 1543 and the Torgau castle chapel in 1544) as a transverse church with ground-level community access in the arcade courtyard and access from the ducal apartments on the Gallery. In the spirit of Protestant understanding, the altar and pulpit should be easily visible from all places and were therefore designed centrally as cult objects of equal value. They were designed by Sem Schlör . By the way, Duke Christoph sent his brother-in-law Margrave Georg Friedrich the Elder in 1563 . Ä. to Brandenburg, the master builder Aberlin Tretsch zur Plassenburg near Kulmbach, who then influenced the planning of the castle church, which, like its Stuttgart model, was built as a transept church. After the parish moved in in 1806, the Stuttgart Palace Church was redesigned in a neo-Gothic style by Alexander Tritschler and a crypt was laid out in which King Karl, Queen Olga, Duke Wilhelm Eugen, Duchess Wera and Carl Eugen are buried. The church also served as a library and pharmacy at times. In 1865 they were renovated inside. Today it serves as a preaching point for the Evangelical Abbey Community and is often used for wedding celebrations. | ||
Sommerrainkirche | Sommerrain | 48 ° 49 ′ 4 "N, 9 ° 14 ′ 40" E | A separate church was built in 1966 for the Sommerrain district, which was built in the 1930s. The church designed by the architect Heinz Rall has a needle-shaped, 36 m high tower and was inaugurated on May 15, 1966. In addition to the church service room, the church premises also have a community hall, kindergarten, pastor's apartment and various group rooms. In 1989 the parish of Sommerrain became independent, after the parishioners had previously belonged to the Wichern parish, but it is still part of the overall evangelical parish of Bad Cannstatt. | ||
Town church Bad Cannstatt | Bad Cannstatt | 48 ° 48 ′ 19 "N, 9 ° 12 ′ 51" E | The church was built in 1471–1506 by Aberlin Jörg d. Ä. built as a three-aisled hall church in late Gothic style. The Renaissance-style tower was built by Heinrich Schickhardt in 1613 . The church stands on the foundations of a stone church built on this site in the 9th century. Since the ground plan of these foundations is identical to that of the Einhard basilica (Steinbach) near Michelstadt in the Odenwald and Einhard was the architect of Charlemagne and the Cannstatter church was built next to a Carolingian royal court, it is assumed that Einhard also built the Cannstatter church and the Order from Charlemagne came. After the church was destroyed, it was rebuilt in the 11th century in the form of an early Romanesque basilica. Presumably that church was already dedicated to the martyrs Cosmas and Damian. The second church was destroyed in the 13th century, rebuilt and then rebuilt in Gothic style by Aberlin Jörg. The church suffered in the Second World War, but was the only one of the four large Gothic churches in the city to remain undamaged and preserved in its Gothic style. The fittings include the Gothic tracery in the choir vault, the crucifix from the 16th century, the font with a jug and bowl donated by Duchess Antonia in 1656, the wall paintings by Rudolf Yelin the Elder.

The associated parish is part of the Evangelical General Parish of Bad Cannstatt. | ||
City Church of St. Germanus | Untertürkheim | 48 ° 46 '46 "N, 9 ° 15' 8" E | The church was built in 1478 and rebuilt in Gothic style in 1493/94. It was destroyed in 1634 and rebuilt in 1654–56. The tower was given the octagonal bell storey. In the middle of the 18th and at the beginning of the 19th century, St. Germanus had to be renovated due to disrepair, now the choir has been replaced with a rectangular extension. The renewed reconstruction in 1968–1972 by the architects Ellsässer and Keller radically changed the interior of the church: the nave was divided into a parish hall and a room for worship. The showpiece is the sliding wall between these two rooms, which is decorated with 36 linocuts from the Old Testament Joseph story by HAP Grieshaber . During the renovation, baroque wall paintings from around 1660 were uncovered. The colorful pictures show the apostles and the personifications of the seven virtues. Ulrich Henn designed the interior with gravestones. Finds such as pottery, glass, stove tiles and other everyday objects that came to light during excavations are located in the former ossuary under the church. A curiosity is an oil painting, the “Untertürkheim Sermon on the Mount”, in which the Untertürkheim painter Carl Schmauk drew 22 local citizens and wine growers. The church is named after the Parisian bishop St. Germain, who had a "branch office" set up in Untertürkheim. |
