Erlöserkirche

The Erlöserkirche stands in Offenhausen, a district of Neu-Ulm, as an Evangelical Lutheran church. Its straightforward design reflects architectural ideas from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Wheelchair access makes the building accessible to visitors with limited mobility.

The congregation grew after the Second World War, when displacement and resettlement brought more Evangelicals to the area. A city-owned barrack first served worship and community life. The Evangelical Lutheran Church Building Association formed in 1955, and architect Franz Gürtner from Munich designed the new church for 340 fixed seats. Construction began with the foundation stone in July 1960, while four bells from Karl Czudnochowsky in Erding arrived by April 1961. Consecration followed in July 1961.

Renovations in 1989 and 1990 changed the interior with a revised altar painting, new lighting, and new heating. Watercolour designs on the ceiling and stained-glass windows add colour to the functional interior. The parish and community house, completed in 1963, connects to the church through a folding door. Four bells cast in Erding remain the clearest detail of this post-war church.
