Stadtpfarrkirche Herz-Jesu, Romanesque Revival parish church in Pfersee district, Augsburg, Germany.

The Stadtpfarrkirche Herz-Jesu is a parish church with a neo-Romanesque facade and a 72-meter tower crowned by a 6.5-meter cross atop its three-nave basilica structure. The interior features an Art Nouveau design scheme throughout its spaces.

The parish of Pfersee outgrew St. Michael, which held only about 700 of roughly 2,740 churchgoers. Pastor Josef Dirr founded the church building association in 1892; after his death in 1893, pastor Anton Schwab pushed through a new building in 1894. Architect Michael Kurz won the commission in 1905, the foundation stone was laid on 7 July 1907, and Bishop Maximilian von Lingg consecrated the church on 29 May 1910.

The interior displays Art Nouveau design elements throughout its spaces, which shape how the building feels inside. This makes it the largest church of this style in Southern Germany.

The main entrance is on the west side beneath the 72-metre tower, with the choir and high altar at the opposite, eastern end. The eight large nave windows by the Munich workshop Hans Bockhorni, made in 1908/09 and restored in 1947, sit high on both side walls. Look for the pulpit relief with its inscription referring to 1914-1919.

The pulpit, carved after World War I, bears a relief inscription: "Hoping in God, build on: then God will save from the heaviest need 1914-1919", making it a war memorial. The apostle figures on the high half-columns were bought in 1909 from St. James's Church in Straubing and date from 1742.
