Auferstehungskirche

Auferstehungskirche, Demolished Methodist church site in the southern Innenstadt, Stuttgart, Germany

Auferstehungskirche was the church of the Evangelical Methodist Resurrection Community on Sophienstraße in Stuttgart's southern city centre. The building, dedicated in 1879, was rebuilt after World War II bombing to plans by architect Pottkamp, with the worship space turned 180 degrees. It was demolished at the end of March 2013; the Sophie 23 residential and commercial building with a day-care centre now stands on the site.

The church opened in 1879 and suffered severe bomb damage during World War II. After the war, it was rebuilt with major modifications to its original layout and design.

The church was demolished at the end of March 2013, so nothing of the interior survives; the altar painting by Munich artist Artur Karl Maerthesheimer, done in Putztechnik (plaster technique), was created for the 1950 reconsecration. The plot on Sophienstraße now holds a residential and commercial building with a daycare centre, built under the project name Sophie 23.

The church no longer exists: it was demolished at the end of March 2013, so there is nothing to visit on Sophienstraße today. The plot is now occupied by the Sophie 23 residential and commercial building, which includes a daycare centre. The former church stood in Stuttgart's southern city centre, near the Das Gerber shopping centre.

During post-war reconstruction, the worship space was rotated 180 degrees, fundamentally changing the building's internal layout. A cross was incorporated into the exterior wall to mark this symbolic transformation.
