Spitalkirche Heilig Geist, Rococo church in Füssen, Germany.

The Spitalkirche Heilig Geist is a Rococo church built in 1748/1749 by Franz Karl Fischer, with a simple rectangular plan and a pitched roof. Its facade has a bell gable in volute form with two bells, concave corners and a large shell-shaped window above the portal. The interior has an almost square single-nave hall with a rectangular choir under a pendentive dome.

A citizens' couple named Borhoch funded a hospital here in 1465, and its Gothic church followed in 1467–1469. That church burned in 1733 together with the hospital and the neighbouring town mill; the hospital was rebuilt by 1735. The Rococo church was built in 1748/1749 by Franz Karl Fischer, taking the Dillingen monastery church by his father as its model. It was restored outside in 1978.

The facade paintings by Joseph Anton Walch show the Holy Trinity on the gable, the coat of arms of Augsburg bishop Joseph, Saint Florian left of the great window and Saint Christopher right, patron of the Lech rafters whose guild held its annual masses here. Inside, the choir fresco depicts the Holy Spirit with the virtues Caritas, Clementia and Fides, while the nave ceiling shows the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit and the seven sacraments.

The church stands at Spitalgasse 2, where the lane meets the Lechhalde, its facade aligned with the view down the Lechhalde toward the Theresienbrücke. The Lechhalde is now a traffic-calmed zone. The building is joined to the Altes Spital at Spitalgasse 6 and the Neues Spital at Spitalgasse 4; from the hospital a balcony above the choir opens directly into the church.

The facade painting by Joseph Anton Walch places Saint Christopher, patron of the Lech rafters, to the right of the great shell-shaped window; the raftsmen's guild held its annual masses in this church. Saint Florian appears on the left, likely a reminder of the earlier church that burned in 1733.
