Pauluskirche, Protestant church in eastern Ulm, Germany
The Pauluskirche is a church building in eastern Ulm and displays two prominent towers beside a recessed chancel with Art Nouveau elements. The interior space is defined by a large pillarless vault supported by distinctive concrete trusses.
The building was constructed between 1908 and 1910 following designs by architect Theodor Fischer as a Protestant garrison church. It marked a turning point in construction history by pioneering the use of reinforced concrete in church building.
The church serves as both a place of worship and a concert hall today, where its concrete structure creates special acoustics that draw musicians and visitors. People use the space regularly for both purposes and experience how faith and culture connect within it.
The church is located at Frauenstraße 110 and is accessible through a website with information about services and events. Visitors can explore the space during regular opening times or attend concerts and worship services.
The building is considered one of the first churches in Germany built entirely from reinforced concrete, featuring arches shaped like fisherman's bows. This construction method made it possible to create the interior space without intrusive columns.
