Hospitalkirche Wetzlar, Lutheran church in Wetzlar, Germany

The Hospitalkirche features a five-axis hall construction with a western tower dome and thick sandstone walls painted in apricot color.

First documented in 1262 as the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, the building provided care for the poor and accommodations for pilgrims during medieval times.

The interior displays Rococo design elements, including round columns with gray tempera paint and blue marble veining, plus ceiling paintings depicting Christ's baptism.

Located at Haarplatz near the Lahn River, the church opens its community house café every Wednesday evening from 19:00 to 21:00.

Johann Andreas Heinemann constructed an organ between 1764 and 1766, which underwent modifications in 1874 and expanded to 30 registers during 1921-1923.
