St. Ludwig, Catholic church in Ludwigshafen, Germany.
The church structure features two distinctive towers flanking the choir area, with six massive columns of Untersberger marble separating the main nave from side aisles.
King Ludwig I of Bavaria attended the foundation stone ceremony in 1858 and the consecration in 1862, contributing significant donations for the construction.
The interior design includes stained glass windows and concrete reliefs in the choir area, with only the baptismal font and crescent moon Madonna surviving from the original church.
The church underwent extensive reconstruction from 1949 to 1954 after suffering severe damage during World War II, when an aerial mine struck the building in 1945.
The architectural design draws inspiration from the Basilica di San Lorenzo in Florence, incorporating elements of Romanesque Revival style in its three-nave basilica structure.
