Heilig-Geist-Kirche stands in Dinkelsbühl, Germany, near the Rothenburger Tor and the former Heilig-Geist-Spital complex. Built around 1280 by the Spitalorden, it offered worship to sick people, poor residents, and pilgrims travelling from Northern Germany towards Rome.

Extensions and renovations shaped a church combining Gothic and Baroque elements for Protestant preaching. During the Reformation, Lutheran services replaced its earlier Catholic use. Catholic authorities took control during the Counter-Reformation, before the Protestant community regained the church in 1566.

Inside, a two-storey gallery, an organ, and a prominent ceiling fresco define the preaching hall. An around-1490 Marienaltar shows saints and scenes from Mary's life. The altar is attributed to the Master of the Dinkelsbühl Marienleben. Johann Georg Schultes built the organ in 1792, and much of its original pipe material remains.
