St. Ludgeri, Gothic parish church in Münster-Mitte, Germany.
St. Ludgeri is a church in Münster-Mitte with a three-nave layout following Westphalian tradition. The interior features two Romanesque towers, and the expanded choir contains windows depicting religious scenes.
The building was founded in 1173 as a wooden structure and later rebuilt following a fire. The Romanesque towers and choir expansion visible today developed during this reconstruction period.
The church is dedicated to an early regional missionary whose presence shapes how visitors experience the space. The stained glass windows by Vincenz Pieper in the choir present biblical scenes that guide the spiritual focus of those who enter.
The church sits at the edge of the pedestrian zone and can be reached from Ludgeristraße, Königsstraße, and Verspoel. Nearby Marienplatz offers shaded seating where visitors can rest before or after their visit.
Eight sandstone figures created between 1603 and 1607 by sculptors including Bernt Katmann and Johannes Kroeß stand between the choir and apse. These carvings offer a rare look at local sculptural traditions from that period.
