Martinskirche in Stuttgart-Plieningen

The Martinskirche in Stuttgart-Plieningen is the oldest church in Stuttgart (original wooden church, around 600 ) and unique in Baden-Württemberg .

history

The oldest parts of the stone structure of the Martinskirche in Plieningen date from the Romanesque period: the nave with the late Gothic gate, the arched windows, a carefully crafted arched frieze with rams and human heads and relief panels under the eaves, depicting , among other things, the donation of a coat from Saint Martin of Tours . They date from the 12th century and are therefore the oldest Romanesque relief representations in the Stuttgart area. The Gothic high choir was completed in 1517. The crucifix within the consecrated church dates from 1520, the stucco ceiling is from 1751, the double gallery from 1909 and the glass windows are by Wolf-Dieter Kohler from 1966.
