St. Martin in Sindelfingen, Romanesque church in Sindelfingen, Germany
St. Martin is a Romanesque church in Sindelfingen with three apses and a 42-meter tower built in that style. Inside, a wooden ceiling decorated with symbols of the four Evangelists was added in 1933.
The church was built starting in 1080 under Count Adalbert II of Calw and was consecrated in 1083 by the Bishop of Würzburg. This early foundation made it a central place of worship for the surrounding area.
The stained glass windows inside were created by Walter Kohler and show scenes from the life of Jesus in detailed color. These windows shape how light fills the space when you walk through the church.
The church functions today as an active Protestant place of worship with regular services and houses six historical bells including a large one dedicated to Christ. Check opening times before visiting, as access may depend on when services are held.
The main entrance displays original door hardware from the 12th century still in its original place. These medieval metal fittings show how craftspeople worked during that time.
