Sankt Salvator, Parish church in Weilimdorf district, Stuttgart, Germany.
Sankt Salvator is a parish church in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf built with concrete and angular geometric forms designed by Hans Herkommer and his son. Large windows flood the interior with natural light and define the appearance of this modern place of worship.
The building was constructed between 1954 and 1956 in the post-war period as part of Stuttgart's reconstruction. The collaboration between Hans Herkommer and his son Jörg bridged an established architect with a new generation of design thinking.
The church serves as a meeting place for worshippers and community gatherings in Weilimdorf, where people come together for services and other events. It shapes the religious life of the neighborhood through its steady presence in residents' daily routines.
The church remains open regularly for prayer and services throughout the week with a stable schedule. Visitors should enter respectfully and follow local guidelines, especially during active services and community gatherings.
The concrete and geometric design emerged during a time when architects experimented with modern materials to rebuild quickly after the war. This approach to form and light differs sharply from traditional church designs of earlier periods.
