Evangelische Ulrichskirche, Protestant church in central Augsburg, Germany
The Evangelical Ulrich Church is a Protestant place of worship in central Augsburg with a baroque exterior architecture. The building displays a distinctive curved gable, a centered clock tower, and a small onion dome at its northern edge.
The building originated as a medieval market hall serving pilgrims and was first converted into a preaching house in 1457. This early transformation established it as an important center for Protestant faith in the city.
The church serves as a gathering place for Protestant congregations in Augsburg and reflects the values of the Reformation through its interior design. Visitors can sense how the simple, bright spaces support the worship practices of evangelical Christians.
Access to the church is through a grand staircase leading from Ulrichsplatz to the main northern facade. Visitors should be aware that the building remains an active place of worship, so opening hours may vary depending on services and events.
The church forms a carefully composed ensemble with the Basilica of St. Ulrich and Afra, positioned at right angles to its Catholic neighbor across the plaza. This unusual spatial arrangement creates a visually interesting relationship between the two structures.
