Severikirche, Gothic filial church in Fulda, Germany.
The Severikirche is a Gothic filial church in Fulda featuring four window axes, a recessed choir with three-sided closure, and a flat wooden beam ceiling inside. The interior preserves wooden sculptures, including a late Gothic Madonna with child and a Baroque Pietà.
Citizen Erasmus Kämmerer funded the construction of the church between 1438 and 1445, when it was initially called Neue Kirche. The building was later renamed after Saint Severin and became part of the inner city parish.
The church displays religious artworks from different periods that remain visible to visitors today. These pieces tell the story of the artistic traditions and faith practices of those who worshipped here over the centuries.
As a filial church of the inner city parish, the building serves regular worship and is accessible on typical weekdays. The church sits centrally in Fulda and is easy to reach on foot.
Two small bells in the roof turret came from the Hamburg Bell Cemetery and were transported here after the war. This unusual origin story connects the building to Germany's post-war history.
