Pfarrkirche Unser Frauen stands beside the city wall in Memmingen’s southern old town, within the former weavers’ and tanners’ district. The east-facing church remains the city’s second-largest Evangelical-Lutheran church, with a Gothic exterior shaped by northern side chapels and a tower.

Documents first mention the church in 1258, while foundations may reach back to late Roman times or earlier. A Romanesque basilica with three naves and six bays followed in the eleventh or twelfth century, before fourteenth- and fifteenth-century rebuilding created the present Gothic form. Fifteenth-century frescoes by the Memmingen School, associated with Hans Strigel the Elder, remain especially well preserved. From about 1530 to 1806, Catholic and Protestant residents worshipped here as a shared congregation.

A tuff stone marked 1205 sits in the northern porch, where it recalls the church’s layered building history.
