It is considered the fourth largest Romanesque basilica in Germany and is the third cathedral building in Würzburg after the first two (built around 787 and 855) were completely or partially destroyed by fire. After Bruno's accidental death in 1045, his successor in the Adalbero bishopric completed the construction in 1075. Due to its size, the Kilians Cathedral is one of the most impressive monuments of the Salier period.

In 1500 the side aisles were redesigned in late Gothic style, and in 1701 they were stuccoed in baroque style by Pietro Magno. After large parts of the cathedral collapsed in the winter of 1946 as a result of the bombing, it was rebuilt until 1967. The result was a successful, albeit controversial, combination of mostly Romanesque, modern and baroque elements. The neo-Romanesque west facade with rose window, three-part gallery and clock opening was covered with a simple pumice stone wall during the reconstruction and was exposed again in the course of renovation work in 2006. The pre-war state has now largely been restored. In 1987 the choir room was redesigned by Hubert Elsässer . Since the installation of a cymbal peal with eight small bells and three other bells, the Würzburg Cathedral has now the largest church peal in Germany with 20 bells.

Special works of art are the baptismal font (1279) by Meister Eckart from Worms, the impressive series of epitaphs, including the grave monuments of the prince-bishops Rudolf II von Scherenberg (1495) and Lorenz von Bibra (both by Tilman Riemenschneider), the Schönborn chapel by Balthasar Neumann and the Klais organ from 1968 (largest trumpeteria in Germany).

For this reason there was already a church in the so-called "foundation building", which also included a crypt. It was housed in the south-east wing of the Juliusspital on the Julius Promenade, facing east, measuring around 14 by 20 meters and was directly integrated into the overall building. The church should always be directly in the life of the hospital and also had the opportunity to attend church services directly from the ward. There is no definite news about the builder of this first hospital church. It is considered likely that the construction plans were made by the builder Georg Robyn, who works in Mainz and comes from the Netherlands. It was probably “loaned” to the Elector of Mainz by Bishop Julius Echter for the construction of the Juliusspital and his church. The solemn consecration of the sacred space dedicated to the Franconian apostle Kilian took place on July 10, 1580 by the prince-bishop himself.

The second hospital church

The hospital church was also involved in the considerations of Prince-Bishop Franz Ludwig von Erthal (1779–1795) about the renovation of the front building on the Julius promenade to accommodate a larger number of sick people. Julius Echter had set up a small town residence in the central building of the north wing (the current church building). Since the Würzburg residence served the prince-bishops as an apartment, these rooms were vacant and so Franz Ludwig von Erthal had the hospital church moved there. The renovation began in 1788 and received the outer walls of the prince's building, initially completed by Antonio Petrini (until 1714) and later by Joseph Greising. Hofbauamtmann Johann Philipp Geigel directed the renovation, supported by Materno Bossi. The second hospital church was 23.60 meters long, 12.55 meters wide and 15.85 meters high and designed in the classicism style. On the second floor, a gallery ran around the entire room, which gave the benefactors easy access to the church. The altar was right in the middle of the church. The second hospital church was consecrated in 1790.

Its rich stucco furnishings and many other works of art, including pictures by Johann Peter Wagner and altar paintings by the court painters Johann B. Ruel and Oswald Onghers, fell victim to the hail of bombs on March 16, 1945 .

The third hospital church

On April 9, 1945, the clean-up work for the planned reconstruction of the Juliusspital began. It was decided not to rebuild the old church interior in its original dimensions. Rather, the lower floor was separated. This is where the apartments for the chief nursing officer and the hospital priest were housed. The lower room height of "only" 11.20 meters gives the church more favorable proportions. The altar was moved to the east side. With the consecration of the altar on July 16, 1953, the reconstruction of the Juliusspital, which had been destroyed in World War II, came to an end. The then bishop and later Cardinal Dr. On that day, Julius Döpfner inaugurated the church, which had been restored from the outside. The church is dedicated to the two patron saints St. Kilian and St. Elisabeth. They were immortalized as modern carvings in 1957 by the sculptor Oskar Müller from Würzburg-Heidingsfeld in the church.

The fourth and today's hospital church

As part of the third construction phase of the hospital renovation, today's church was also renovated, liturgically redesigned and the original character of the central church was taken up. The altar and ambo are arranged on an altar island in the middle of the church. The places for the church visitors are distributed around it. The church received two equal entrances from the east and west. This was u. a. made possible by the fact that the stairwell in the eastern prince's building was demolished and rebuilt directly next to the church. A wheelchair-accessible access is also available. Jura marble was selected as the floor covering. Altar, ambo, tabernacle and Madonna stele as well as the baptismal font were also made from this material, but using a different processing technique. The earlier high altar painting by Christoph Storer , which depicts St. Albert, remained in its original place. As a counterpoint, Thomas Lange, a German artist from Italy, created a modern, multi-part picture that, as a kind of triptych, closes or frames the organ. The motifs "Mercy, Liberation and Care" refer to the tasks of the Juliusspital Foundation . The church is completed by a new way of the cross and salvation by canon Jürgen Lenssen.

The figures of the church patrons Kilian and Elisabeth as well as depictions of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist were taken from the previous church; likewise the historical altar cross, which got a modern background. The mechanical pipe organ that was destroyed in the war was given a worthy successor. The organ building company Vleugels from Hardheim built an organ (inauguration September 17, 2005) with two manuals and a pedal. A total of 1300 pipes give this musical instrument its full sound.

In the entire monument complex of the Juliusspital, the parish church of St. Kilian is also a protected architectural monument with the file number D-6-63-000-229 of the BLfD.

Meaning of the Marienkirche

As a historical site from the early days of Christianity on the right bank of the Rhine and perhaps as the first center of the Würzburg diocese, the Marienkirche is of great importance for the history of the Christianization of Germany and the Würzburg diocese in particular. In terms of art history, it is a successor to the Roman church of S. Maria ad Martyros (Pantheon) due to its antique shape (cone, two-tier rotunda with round dome), a pre-Romanesque church building of the first order. The dome vaulting, which has not been studied in any more detail, represents a remarkable artistic and technical achievement in any case.

The Marienkirche has been undergoing renovation since March 2016. The repair of the Marienkirche is part of the 1st construction phase of the general repair of the Marienberg Fortress.

When Würzburg was bombed, the church burned down completely and was initially only poorly repaired. On the occasion of the 400th birthday of the Würzburg seminary , the interior was redesigned by Heinrich Gerhard Bücker from Vellern / Beckum in Westphalia. The basic theme is the " Revelation of John ", the last book of the Bible . Bücker designed the interior almost without the aid of colors, so that the viewer enters the church with a completely white interior. Work began in 1988 and was provisionally concluded with the consecration of the altar in December 1991. In May 1995 the design of the dome was finished.

Deutschhauskirche, Mainviertel

Deutschhauskirche Würzburg, former Commandery of the Teutonic Order

The Gothic Deutschhauskirche was built between 1270 and 1320 as a church of the Teutonic Order . In 1694, Antonio Petrini rebuilt the convent building and the basement of the tower in a baroque style. Five stucco ceilings made in the acanthus style customary at the time also date from this time . The church fell to the state in the course of secularization in 1805, was used for a long time as a military magazine and, after the Protestant community of Würzburg had tried in vain in 1872, left to the Protestant church in 1922, consecrated in 1923 and the associated parish established in 1925. Special works of art are the Adoration of the Magi by Rudolf Schäfer, The Listening Christ by Wilhelm Steinhausen and the Annunciation to Maria by Georg Anton Urlaub. The interior is bright and lavishly decorated. The church survived the bombing raids on Würzburg without major damage (services could be held there again from spring 1946) and is now a listed building. During its use as a military magazine, ceilings were drawn in and large parts of the interior were destroyed.

A historical document inside the church describes the history of the church:

Martin Luther Church, Frauenland

Martin Luther Church

With its simple wooden construction, the Martin Luther Church is an architectural specialty among the churches of Würzburg. It is one of the famous 48 emergency churches that were built across Germany shortly after the Second World War based on a design by the architect Otto Bartning . With the help of these simple, mass-produced and thus inexpensive assembly churches, the acute shortage of Protestant churches should be bridged.

The construction of the Martin Luther Church built for the St. Stephen's Congregation was made possible by a donation from the American section of the Lutheran World Federation . Just under half a year passed between the laying of the foundation stone and the consecration of the church on June 6, 1949. The free-standing church tower, equipped with four bells, was built according to the plans of the architect Olaf Andreas Gulbransson and has complemented the church since 1962. A filigree bronze sculpture in the shape of a cross forms the end of the tower.

In the years that followed, the interior of the church, originally planned as a temporary measure, was redesigned and supplemented. A colored ribbon of windows, which shows the history of salvation in 13 individual images and was created by the Munich artist Gerd Jähnke, has graced the church since 1966. The simple wooden cross was replaced by a gold-plated cross in the 1970s. The five ruby ​​red stones in the middle symbolize the wounds of Christ. Pulpit and baptismal font are sculptured. The organ comes from Otto Hoffmann's workshop in Ostheim vor der Rhön.

With the “Beautiful Gate”, the Martin Luther Church has had a bronze door artistically designed by the Würzburg blacksmith Rudolf Engert since 1970, which welcomes all visitors. Coordinates: 49 ° 47 ′ 9 ″  N , 9 ° 57 ′ 2 ″  E
