Pauluskirche, Gothic Revival church in Stadtfeld East, Magdeburg, Germany
The Pauluskirche is a Gothic Revival church in Magdeburg designed with two aisles and constructed using red brick with detailed stone elements. The tower reaches approximately 65 meters and contains bells along with an elaborate pipe organ from the early 1900s.
Construction of this church began in 1894 after the city acquired the land, with its opening occurring just two years later in 1896. Major restoration work took place nearly a century afterward, between 1997 and 2002, to repair both the exterior and interior.
The church serves as a gathering place for the local community in Stadtfeld East, hosting regular services and events throughout the year. Its tall tower and distinctive silhouette make it a recognizable landmark in the neighborhood.
The interior is generally open during daytime on weekdays and particularly during services and events held throughout the year. Visitors should approach with respect, as this remains an active place of worship for the local community.
The church houses a Wilhelm Rühlmann organ with 30 registers that was restored to its original condition in the early 2000s after decades of use. This instrument showcases the skilled craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century organ building.
