Gustav-Adolf-Gedächtniskirche, Protestant church in Lichtenhof, Nuremberg, Germany.

The Gustav-Adolf Memorial Church is a Protestant house of worship in Lichtenhof characterized by clean lines and geometric forms of modern ecclesiastical design. The building displays typical features of German church architecture from the post-war reconstruction period.

Designed by German Bestelmeyer and consecrated on 29 June 1930, the church was built for the Lichtenhof congregation, which had become independent from Sankt Peter in 1920 and counted around 3,000 members. A bomb attack on 19 October 1944 and the ensuing fires almost completely destroyed it. Reconstruction began on 20 July 1947 and the church was reconsecrated on 3 April 1949.

The church bears the name of a Swedish king and reflects the Protestant heritage rooted in this neighborhood. Its name connects visitors to the broader Reformation movement that shaped Northern European history.

The church stands in Lichtenhof, south of Nuremberg's old town. Since 1988 a four-storey community centre has occupied part of the nave, so the worship space is now 24 m long and 23 m wide; the main entrance with its representative stair is on the east gable, and five side doors open along the walls.

The church was consecrated on 29 June 1930, not after the war; it was wrecked in the bombing raid of 19 October 1944 and rebuilt from 20 July 1947 to 3 April 1949. Since 1988 a four-storey community centre has stood inside the former 2,500-seat nave.
