Stadtpfarrkirche Gaisburg, Protestant church in Stuttgart-Ost, Germany.
The Stadtpfarrkirche Gaisburg is a Protestant church in Stuttgart-Ost featuring an elliptical central structure with an oval dome roof. Fourteen Ionic columns in concrete construction support the interior, creating an open and bright space.
The current building replaced a 12th-century chapel that once stood on an ancient pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. The church was constructed in the first half of the 20th century as an architectural landmark of that era.
The interior walls display monumental Art Nouveau paintings by Käte Schaller-Härlin with floral patterns and a tree of life motif that define the space. These artworks shape how visitors experience the building's interior.
Access is straightforward and the interior is largely barrier-free due to the open distribution of columns throughout the space. Regular services and musical performances happen throughout the year, offering flexible visiting opportunities.
The Friedrich Weigle organ from 1913 remains fully functional and retains its original sound character through careful restoration and modification work. It demonstrates how the organ balances historical authenticity with practical use.
