St. Michael, Parish church in Vöhringen, Germany.

St. Michael is a parish church in Vöhringen with a spacious interior defined by sturdy stone walls and tall windows that flood the space with natural light. The high ceilings create a sense of openness throughout the main hall.

The foundation stone was laid on 5 February 1913, and the shell was completed by the firm Hertnagel & Co. of Heimenkirch just 17 months later. Interior work was delayed by World War I until autumn 1919, and Bishop Maximilian von Lingg consecrated the high altar and church on 16 May 1920. In 1945 artillery hits damaged the church, which was repaired by 1949.

The church serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors attend regular masses, participate in confession, and observe seasonal celebrations. It functions as the spiritual center for the parish community's daily religious life.

St. Michael holds close to 800 people across the nave, side aisles, choir and galleries, on roughly 775 m² of floor space. The church stands at its present site in Vöhringen, chosen after the district administrator Alfred Staehler rejected Franz Zell's preferred western plot near today's Mittelschule. The interior was finished only in autumn 1919 because of the First World War.

During the afternoon of 24 April 1945, US troops advanced on Illerrieden while SS units blew up the Iller bridge. Under artillery fire, pastor Adalbert Städele stayed in the church cellar, converted into an air-raid shelter, with several Vöhringen families and the observation post crew who had fled the tower. Despite the threat of the death penalty for "Wehrkraftzersetzung", he and Albert Eckstein raised white flags to prevent further deaths.
