Erasmus-Alberus-Kirche, Protestant church in Sprendlingen, Germany.
Erasmus Alberus Church is a hall structure with a three-sided choir and slate-covered tower located at Lindenplatz in Sprendlingen. Three iron bells from 1921 hang in the tower, each bearing inscriptions from the Christmas story in the Gospel of Luke.
The church was built between 1716 and 1718 on foundations dating back to 880. It replaced a smaller earlier structure that was dedicated to Saint Lawrence.
The church was named in 1957 to honor Erasmus Alberus, the first Protestant pastor who served here from 1527 to 1538. This choice connects the congregation to a key figure of the early Reformation in the region.
The location sits on a town square with easy access, though the area can get busy at certain times. Visiting early in the day or on a weekday helps you experience the place more calmly.
An inscription above the entrance features a stonemason's error, with 'EUS' carved instead of 'FUS', meaning foot in German. This mistake has remained visible for over 300 years and tells a story about the craftwork involved in building the church.
