Stephanuskirche, Protestant church in Mühlweg district, Halle, Germany.

The red brick church features Gothic elements, including pointed arched windows, buttresses, and a 61-meter tower with corner turrets.

Construction of St. Stephanus began in June 1891 following population growth during industrialization, and architect Otto Kilburger completed the project in December 1893.

The Protestant church served its congregation until 1967, then transformed into a book repository for Martin Luther University, storing 700,000 volumes.

The building stands at Karl-Liebknecht-Strasse in Halle, currently undergoing changes as the state of Saxony-Anhalt initiated a property auction in 2023.

In March 2000, a fire destroyed the church spire, which crashed through the main roof, leading to subsequent reconstruction efforts.
