Dreifaltigkeitskirche

Dreifaltigkeitskirche stands on a hillside in Stuttgart-Münster, built from wood in a half-timbered style. You enter through a foyer before climbing stairs to the main nave. The parish acquired the site in the 1930s for a second church beyond the old village centre. Construction followed in 1954 and 1955, replacing a church destroyed during the war.

Architect Dr Walter Zoller shaped the building, whose foyer regained its original size through restoration in 2012. A large linden-wood crucifix by Ulrich Henn dominates the chancel beneath lighting that casts Golgotha-like shadows. Peter Sonder’s 1990 Engelturm places wooden angels at different heights beside the chancel. The 1960 organ combines a main section with a Rückpositiv extending above the gallery railing.

Several windows carry a visual history of Christian belief, including the 1963 pulpit window and the south window from 2005. The chancel window shows God’s eye, seraphim, cherubim, the Holy Spirit, and the beginnings of the church. A 1569 or 1570 keystone displays intertwined fish and deer antlers, linking Württemberg symbolism with Christian faith. Three bells sound E, B, and C-sharp, while a copy of a 1682 tin plaque rests in the sacristy.
