Georgskirche Ingersheim

The Georgskirche is a Protestant church building in Kleiningersheim with a rectangular body and gabled roof. The chancel features a slender tower that transitions from a square base to an octagonal form at the top.

The building was constructed in 1601 and replaced an earlier chapel dating from the 11th century. Inscriptions carved on the chancel arch keystone and oak gallery pillars preserve the memory of this earlier structure.

The interior walls display frescoes of the four Evangelists along with their symbolic attributes and a painted scene of Jesus being baptized. These religious images shape how the worship space looks and communicate core biblical stories directly through the walls.

The church is accessible to visitors during regular opening times and functions as an active parish building. It is helpful to inquire in advance to confirm access during your planned visit.

A colorful pointed arch window was added in 1967 and donated by descendants of local families who had emigrated to the United States. This window links the congregation's history to the experience of emigration and distant ties.
