Erlöserkirche, Lutheran church in Eichstätt, Germany.

The Erlöserkirche is a Neo-Romanesque church built in 1886–1887 to plans by August Thiersch, attached to the Hof Welden and oriented north–south. It is a three-aisled basilica of Gaimersheim brick with a wooden coffered ceiling, a raised semicircular apse lit by three arched windows, a polygonal baptistery on the east side, and a four-storey campanile-like tower at the southwest.

Protestant worship in Eichstätt began on 16 November 1845 in the upper town hall hall, and from 1848 in a room of the baroque Hof Welden. The parish grew and commissioned August Thiersch, professor at the Munich technical college, in January 1882; the first sod was cut on 11 May 1886, the foundation stone laid on 30 June 1886, and the church consecrated on 23 November 1887. It was named Erlöserkirche only in 1979.

The name Erlöserkirche, meaning Church of the Redeemer, was only given in 1979; before that the church had no name. The congregation dates from 1845, when Protestant services began in Eichstätt after the town had been Catholic since the secularisation of 1803. The apse windows by Karl de Bouché show Christ, Peter and Paul, with designs by the painter Ludwig Thiersch.

The church stands at Residenzplatz 17, where the Residenzplatz meets the Leonrodplatz, so it is reached on foot from the old town centre. The entrance porch is approached by a fan-shaped flight of steps, and a modern sculpture stands outside to the right of it. The interior is plain and low-lit, with the raised apse at the north end and the polygonal baptistery on the eastern long side.

The church was built mainly of bricks from Gaimersheim, not stone. Its four-storey campanile-like tower stands southwest against the nave, and the Christ relief over the entrance portal is by Munich sculptor Josef Beyrer. The building only received the name Erlöserkirche in 1979.
