Pauluskirche

Pauluskirche is a church in Plauen built in the Gothic Revival style, recognizable by its distinctive stone walls and shortened tower. Inside, it contains an organ installed in 1962 with 40 registers across three manuals using both pneumatic and mechanical control systems.

The building suffered severe damage on 10 April 1945 during World War II, leading to reconstruction efforts that began in 1946. The restoration work allowed the church to return to functional use.

The church serves as a gathering place for the local evangelical Lutheran congregation and hosts musical performances throughout the year. Its space draws people from the community for worship and spiritual events.

The interior is easily accessible and laid out clearly for worship services with good sightlines throughout. Visitors should expect standard visiting hours and dress respectfully when inside.

Four bells cast between 1895 and 1897 hang in the tower, with each one inscribed with passages from the letters of the Apostle Paul. These bells create a distinctive sound that continues to ring today.
