Wallmerkirche
Wallmerkirche stands in Stuttgart’s Untertürkheim district, linking the old village centre with a newer residential area. Built from 1953 to 1954, the Evangelical Lutheran church began as a spacious community house for a growing population. Its architecture reflects a postwar decision to create a “house to the praise of God” after plans first emerged in 1905.
Two bells, cast by Stuttgart’s Kurtz foundry in 1954, serve as the prayer bell and cross bell. An organ arrived in 1958 from Friedrich Weigle in Echterdingen, with twenty registers across two manuals and a pedal. Renovations in 2001 and 2002 altered its mechanics and sound, preserving an important part of worship inside the building.
A wooden floor and ceiling give the interior a warm, grounded character beneath three woven tapestries. Gabriel, Michael and Raphael appear in works from the Paramentenwerkstätte of the Evangelical Women’s School. The chancel window by Saile’s Stuttgart workshop brings together the calming of the storm, a blind man’s healing and Lazarus’s raising, designed by Rudolf Yelin.
