Auferstehungskirche, Church building in Karlsruhe, Germany.

The Auferstehungskirche is a neo-baroque Protestant church in the Rüppurr district of Karlsruhe, built in 1907–1908 to designs by church building officer Rudolf Burckhardt. Its lower level is dark masonry with small rectangular windows and a round-arched doorway topped by a cross, while the upper level is light grey plaster. An octagonal tower with a clock face, dome and small spire rises above red-brown tiled roofs with several gables.

The present church replaced the Nikolauskirche built between 1774 and 1776 on the Alb. As Rüppurr grew by several thousand residents, Dean Philipp Roth and pastor Lebrecht Mayer pushed for a larger central building, designed by church building officer Rudolf Burckhardt. The cornerstone was laid in 1907 and the neo-baroque church was completed in 1908, after which the Nikolauskirche passed to the Catholic parish.

The 19 stained-glass windows by Karlsruhe glass painter Hans Drinneberg depict the Reformation, including "Luther at the Diet of Worms" and "Luther and Melanchthon Explaining the Bible". Figures from the Old and New Testaments, the Reformation, Rüppurr and Baden history fill the interior, among them Grand Duke Friedrich I, Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm I, placed for their political weight and standing for the link of altar and throne.

The church stands in Rüppurr, south of Karlsruhe's centre, and can be reached by tram or bus from the city. Behind the building, along the Alb stream, lies the roughly four-hectare Rüppurr cemetery, where several well-known figures are buried. The church was last renovated in 2008.

Among the 19 stained-glass windows by Karlsruhe glass painter Hans Drinneberg are depictions of Grand Duke Friedrich I, Otto von Bismarck and Kaiser Wilhelm I, placed here for their political weight and standing for the link between "altar and throne" — figures rarely shown inside a church.
