Uffkirche

Uffkirche stands in Stuttgart’s Bad Cannstatt district as a protected cultural monument and cemetery chapel. It belongs to the Evangelical Church in Württemberg and is wheelchair accessible. Its late Gothic hall combines a nave beneath a gabled roof with an eastern choir tower. A pointed pyramid roof crowns the tower after its 1881–82 extension.

The current building dates to 1494 and incorporates Romanesque and early Gothic remains from an earlier church. The cemetery began around the eighth century. In 1506, Cannstatt’s community began using it for burials because the city church offered unsuitable conditions. The grounds cover about 1.5 hectares, contain around 2,300 graves, and are divided into 14 sections.

Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque epitaphs stand outside, while eighteenth-century tombstones remain inside. The grounds also hold a kiosk, a mortuary, and a war memorial for the Franco-Prussian War dead. Second World War damage was followed by restoration, and the church now serves as a cemetery chapel. Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach are buried among its notable residents.
