history
In 1864, a Protestant cemetery with a church was laid out in Wichnergasse against resistance from the Roman Catholic population. In 1876 Feldkirch (with Bludenz) became a branch of the parish of Bregenz in the Kreuzkirche am Ölrain . Feldkirch was raised to an independent parish within the Evangelical Church HB on May 5, 1908 . From 1909 to 1910 a parish and community center was built on the slope of the Ardetzenberg.
The foundation stone for the Pauluskirche was laid on September 16, 1962. The church was consecrated in 1965. That year the Bludenz daughter congregation became independent in the Good Shepherd Church .
