Kleine Kirche, Neoclassical church in Innenstadt-Ost, Karlsruhe, Germany.
Kleine Kirche is a church building in neoclassical style constructed from red Grötzinger sandstone with geometric proportions that echo the nearby palace. The interior provides space for community gatherings, concerts, and quiet reflection.
The church was built between 1719 and 1722 as a gift from a Lutheran margrave to his daughter-in-law Amalie von Nassau. Since then it has stood as a record of the religious and family structures of that era in the city.
The church functions today as a venue for concerts and meditation, where visitors can experience classical music from the local music academy. Regular gatherings here help shape the cultural life of the surrounding neighborhood.
The church space is open during daytime hours and accessible to visitors who wish to spend time there or attend events. It is recommended to check opening times beforehand, as regular concerts and private meetings take place.
Inside the church hangs a bell from 1717 that originally belonged to Karlsruhe Palace. This bell is among the oldest surviving objects in the city and connects the building to the early palace history of Karlsruhe.
