Reglerkirche Erfurt, Lutheran church in Old Town, Erfurt, Germany
The Reglerkirche is a church building in Erfurt's Old Town featuring a three-nave basilica design with two western towers. The structure combines Romanesque and Baroque architectural styles and houses a 1977 organ with 38 stops across three manuals and pedals.
The building was founded in 1130 by Augustinian canons and suffered a major fire in 1291. Multiple reconstruction phases followed the fire, gradually creating the structure that stands today.
The late Gothic altar from the 15th century displays religious figures and remains one of the most important artworks visitors encounter in the region. The church continues to serve as an active place of worship where people gather for services and to view the craftsmanship of that era.
The church is easily accessible on foot in the Old Town and welcomes visitors inside. It is worth checking opening times in advance since regular services and musical performances take place there.
A bronze statue called 'Mildenfurther Kreuzmensch' stands at the main entrance, adding spiritual depth to the place. This modern sculpture creates an intriguing contrast with the medieval architecture and often goes unnoticed by visitors.
