Ludwigskirche, Protestant church in Saarbrücken, Germany
The baroque Ludwigskirche features a Greek cross floor plan with symmetrical axes of 38.5 and 34.2 meters, rising from a central square.
Friedrich Joachim Stengel designed the church in 1762 under Wilhelm Heinrich of Nassau-Saarbrücken, with construction completing in 1775 under Count Ludwig's reign.
The central placement of the altar and pulpit reflects Protestant theology, emphasizing direct connection between congregation and divine without institutional mediation.
The church opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 17:00, with restoration work continuing through 2023.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe documented his 1770 visit to this church, noting its proportional harmony within the surrounding square.
