The Stadtkirche St. Germanus stands in Untertürkheim, a district of Stuttgart, as a Protestant church recognised as a historical monument.

Its origins reach the eleventh century, when a chapel stood above a Roman pottery site.

Roman pottery remains survive within the church tower.

In 1493, builders added the southward nave to the existing tower, establishing an important part of the later structure.

The Thirty Years' War later destroyed much of the church.

Rebuilding from 1654 to 1656 retained the tower's lower medieval levels and added an octagonal stage for clock and bells.

A bell dome and lantern complete the tower.

Inside, the nave presents a flat ceiling and wall paintings from different periods.

HAP Grieshaber's 1970 Joseph Wall depicts the legend of Joseph of Nazareth.

The church's organ dates from the year 1972.

Restoration work from 2016 to 2018 renewed the interior and exterior while preserving the church's artworks.

Several building periods remain visible in this Stuttgart church.
