Église Saint-Paul

At Église Saint-Paul, twin spires rise above the city and frame a broad rose window with original stained glass. The church has a distinctive neo-Gothic architectural design.

Louis Müller designed the building as a Protestant garrison church for German troops in the late nineteenth century. Its twin towers rise high above the surrounding streets.

A monumental rose window and coloured glass give the interior a strong visual focus, while painted vaults extend the decorative scheme overhead. Original liturgical furniture completes the richly painted interior.

An imperial entrance and decorated staircase preserve visible traces of the building’s former connection with the German military and emperor. Many doors once served the marching soldiers inside.

The church links the old city and new city, standing between imperial power and university knowledge. The parish welcomes prayer, music, student discussion, and cultural events.

Its neo-Gothic form follows a celebrated church in Hesse, creating a clear architectural reference. The rose window anchors the coloured interior space.
