Dreifaltigkeitskirche, Lutheran church in Kaufbeuren, Germany
The Dreifaltigkeitskirche is a Protestant church building in Kaufbeuren featuring a flat barrel vault and pointed-arch windows on Kaiser-Max-Straße. The interior reveals clear architectural lines showing how different construction phases have shaped the space over time.
The building began as a secular structure in 1504 and was converted into a church in 1604, with reconstruction completed in just 30 weeks. This rapid transformation established the way the space functions as a religious gathering place today.
The church houses paintings from the 17th century created by Hans Ulrich Franck that visitors can see displayed on the walls. The wooden pulpit from 1764 demonstrates the skilled craftsmanship that went into furnishing the interior.
The church space is accessible and the parish office provides information, reachable at +49 8341 95180. Visitors should check service times before planning a visit.
Archaeological investigations in 2002 uncovered multiple construction phases in the cellar spaces, possibly linked to the Staufer period. These findings suggest the building's basement has a longer history of use than what appears above ground.
