Pauluskirche, Protestant church in Paulusviertel, Darmstadt, Germany.
Pauluskirche is a Protestant church in Paulusviertel with textured brown walls and structured roof tiles, blending Roman and Gothic traditions. The interior features wall frescoes by Helmuth Uhrig, sculptures by Robert Cauer, and a statue of Apostle Paul by Augusto Varnesi.
Architect Friedrich Putzer designed this church from 1905 to 1907 as a new religious building. After significant damage during World War II, restoration work in the postwar years returned it to usable condition.
The name refers to Apostle Paul, whose statue by Augusto Varnesi stands inside the building. Today it functions as a venue for concerts and community gatherings, where artworks such as frescoes by Helmuth Uhrig can be experienced regularly.
The building is open Tuesday through Sunday and welcomes visitors throughout the week. Those planning to visit should keep in mind that worship services and special events like concerts may affect access times.
The church houses a large Schuke organ with over four thousand five hundred pipes across multiple keyboards. This instrument ranks among the largest organ installations in the city and shapes the acoustic character of the space.
