Saint Pirminius Church in Pirmasens, Catholic parish church in Pirmasens, Germany

Sankt Pirminius is a Catholic parish church rebuilt from 1953 to 1958 by Wilhelm Schulte II after its destruction in World War II. The front facade and two towers, now 52 meters high instead of 72, remain largely original, while the nave was reconstructed in simplified forms as a pseudo-basilica. The interior combines modern elements with original furnishings such as the Stations of the Cross and the Pirminius reliquary.

The original church was constructed between 1897 and 1900 from designs by Wilhelm Schulte I and served as a major landmark for the Catholic community. Following its destruction in World War II, it was fully rebuilt and restored between 1953 and 1958.

The church is dedicated to Saint Pirminius, from whom the city of Pirmasens takes its name. Inside, visitors can see the Pirminius reliquary and statues of saints, and behind the church is the grave of the priest Johann Michael Schang (1757–1842), who died in the reputation of holiness.

The church is freely accessible from outside and offers visitors a good view of the neo-Gothic architecture and distinctive towers. Regular services take place, and visitors can see the interior during these times or by arrangement.

The five bells in the south tower were cast in 1956 by Hermann Hamm of Frankenthal, with the notes h°–d′–e′–fis′–a′. The two smallest bells strike the quarter hours, the d′ bell strikes the hours, so each full hour sounds a D-major chord from top to bottom.
