Katharinenkirche, Protestant church in Reutlingen, Germany

Katharinenkirche is a Gothic Revival church of light brown and grey sandstone, built 1887–1890 to Heinrich Dolmetsch's design. A slender spire with pointed pinnacles and a cross rises over the crossing; the main facade has a rose window under a steep gable, a statue niche above it, and two small square towers with pyramidal roofs. Grey slate covers the nave and aisles.

Built 1887–1890 to Heinrich Dolmetsch's design as a cemetery chapel on the Unter den Linden cemetery, it replaced the old Katharinenkapelle first documented in 1338. Only the 1731 gravestone of Major Johannes Jakobus Dann, who helped rebuild Reutlingen after the 1726 fire, was carried over. It was Reutlingen's first Protestant church built since the Reformation and has served as a parish church since 1908.

The church is used for services, especially Sundays at 11:15, and for cultural events. Its 1890 Weigle organ had 10 stops on two manuals and pedal; a 1940 neo-baroque rebuild brought it to 18 stops. The gravestone of Major Johannes Jakobus Dann (1731), who helped rebuild Reutlingen after the 1726 fire, was moved into the new church.

The building is accessible and regular services are held where visitors are welcome to attend. Modern amenities including lighting and heating systems installed in 2017 ensure comfortable conditions for a visit.

The roof's zinc diamond shingles are the only surviving historic zinc covering of this kind in southern Germany. The Flaschnerei Huber from Kißlegg restored them during the 2011–2012 renovation and won the national 2013 renovation prize in the metal category for the work.
