Mariä Himmelfahrt, Roman Catholic church in Otterstadt, Germany

Mariä Himmelfahrt is a neo-Gothic hall church in Otterstadt, built 1889–1891 to plans by Franz Schöberl. The 45-metre-long, 20-metre-wide building has a 50-metre tower; its walls are yellow facing brick with red-brick ornament and a red sandstone base and cornice. The three-aisled nave is divided by six window bays and five stepped brick piers, and ends in a 5/8 choir.

The community decided on 26 December 1886 to build a new church; on 6 February 1887, 105 residents voted for a loan and 10 against. The foundation stone was laid on 29 September 1889, and builder Daniel Lauer completed the church to plans by Franz Schöberl. Bishop Joseph Georg von Ehrler consecrated it on 8 September 1891.

The church is named for the Assumption of Mary, a significant date in the Catholic calendar. On August 15, local worshippers gather here to mark this important religious observance.

The church stands on Ringstrasse 75 and is easy to reach when walking through town. The interior can feel cool, so bring a light jacket when visiting.

The high altar, pulpit and both side altars were made by Gottfried Renn, while the portal was carved by Heinrich Scherpff of Speyer. The interior furnishings were financed largely by private donations, whereas the town itself paid for most of the building. Since 11 December 2021 a cross-denominational support association has worked to conserve the church and its furnishings; its first chair is Gisela Fleckenstein, head of the Speyer state archive.
