Hospitalkirche Wetzlar, Lutheran church in Wetzlar, Germany

The Hospitalkirche is a Lutheran preaching church built in 1762–1764 in Rococo style, a five-axis hall with a five-eighth polygonal chancel and a west roof turret with a hood. Its walls are rendered rubble masonry about 1.1 m thick, painted apricot since 2014, and the red-painted portals bear keystones dated 1764.

A hospital dedicated to the Holy Spirit, with a rubble-stone chapel, was first mentioned here in 1262; it cared for the poor, the disabled and the sick and lodged pilgrims. After the Reformation the community turned Protestant, and the hospital became a Protestant citizens' hospital that lasted until 1938. The Gothic chapel was demolished in 1755, and the present church was consecrated on 12 June 1764.

The name refers to the hospital founded here in 1262 for the poor, the disabled, the sick and pilgrims. The church became Lutheran after the Reformation and served as a garrison church until 1877. Inside, round columns in grey tempera paint with blue marbling support two longitudinal beams and the four-sided gallery with basket arches.

The church stands on the west bank of the Lahn, directly on Langgasse, which leads over the old stone Lahn bridge into the old town. It is oriented southeast following the street line. A community centre built onto the southwest side provides direct access to the church.

The roof turret holds a bell from the 13th or 14th century, 0.70 metres across, bearing an image of Mary and the names of Mary and the four Evangelists. It survived the demolition of the Gothic hospital chapel in 1755 and hangs in the 1764 building.
