St. Elisabeth, Roman Catholic church in Stedten an der Gera, Erfurt, Germany

St. Elisabeth is a church in the Stedten district of Erfurt built in 1745 and now a protected heritage monument in Thuringia. The building features a simple baroque style with stone walls, a traditional roof, and modest bell tower; its bright interior is defined by open space with tiered seating rising toward the altar, connected by two staircases to the pulpit and upper gallery.

The building was erected in 1745 by Christoph Dietrich von Keller as an evangelical castle church for Stedten, initially serving the castle's residents and guests. After World War II in 1945, it shifted from Protestant to Catholic use, and since 1976 it has belonged to the St. Nikolaus parish in Erfurt.

The church is named after St. Elisabeth of Thuringia, the 13th-century landgravine of Thuringia, not Hungary. The name refers to her, and the building was originally an evangelical castle church before becoming Catholic in 1976. The interior has no stained glass; its character comes from the theater-like seating and the two curved staircases leading to the pulpit and the lord's gallery.

The church stands in the Stedten an der Gera district on the northern edge of Erfurt, near the Gera river and the former Stedten castle grounds. The entrance is the central arched wooden door in the stone facade, with a small round window above it. Inside, two curved staircases lead from the altar area up to the pulpit and the galleries with the patron's boxes.

The organ, built in 1746 by Erfurt organ builder Johann Georg Schröter, has six registers on one manual and pedal. The bell hangs not in the tower but in a roof turret. Two curved pairs of stairs lead from the altar area up to the pulpit and the galleries with the patron's boxes.
