Markuskirche Stuttgart, Protestant church in Stuttgart-Süd, Germany
Description
The Markuskirche is a Protestant church building in Stuttgart-Süd with a 49 meter tall reinforced concrete tower topped by a curved dome. Inside, three naves span across masonry walls with plaster, punctuated by large round windows in the upper gallery.
History
The building was designed by architect Heinrich Dolmetsch and opened in 1908, with King Wilhelm II present at the dedication. It survived World War II without major damage.
Culture
The interior walls display relief carvings from the Gospel of Mark between the columns, alternating with large round windows in the upper gallery. These sculptural works tell biblical stories in a way that visitors discover as they walk through the space.
Practical
The interior has excellent acoustics designed for concerts that are held regularly and open to visitors. The site sits in a residential neighborhood in southern Stuttgart that is easy to reach on foot.
Did you know?
The church organ has a distinctive feature: its prospectus was carved from stone rather than made from wood, a rarity north of the Alps. This unusual work is positioned behind the altar in a surprising location.
