Pfarrkirche, Baroque parish church in Bamberg, Germany.

St. Martin is a Baroque church built from 1686 by the Dientzenhofer brothers, with its choir west and a 55-metre tower at the choir apex. The east facade, modelled on Il Gesù in Rome, carries figures of Jesus, Sebastian, Mary and Lawrence. Inside, the choir vestibule has a painted false dome by Giovanni Francesco Marchini after plans by Andrea Pozzo.

A Carmelite monastery with its church stood here from 1248; in 1589 the site passed to the Bamberg diocesan seminary, and the Jesuits took over the former monastery in 1611. After buying properties near the market, they demolished the old church and began the present building in 1686 to designs by Georg and Leonhard Dientzenhofer. Consecrated in 1693 as Zum Namen Jesu, it became a parish church in 1804 and received the patronage of St Martin.

The church serves as a central gathering place for Bamberg's Catholic community and shapes religious life in this neighborhood. Visitors can experience how faith and community practice remain connected in everyday life.

The church stands in Bamberg's lower town, with its choir facing west and the 55-metre tower rising above the choir apex. The main entrance is on the east facade, whose two-storey risalit gable carries figures of Jesus, Sebastian, Mary and Lawrence. The crypt is reached by a stairway to the left of the pulpit and holds the graves of Jesuit fathers.

The 55-metre tower, finished in 1696, holds five ringable bells tuned to h0–c1–e1–gis1–h1 plus a sixth bell in the lantern that can no longer be rung. The second and third bells were cast by Hans Conrad Roth of Forchheim. A staircase left of the pulpit leads to a crypt with sliding graves of Jesuit fathers; beneath it, behind a sandstone slab, lie bones moved from cleared graves.
