Wolfbuschkirche

Wolfbuschkirche stands in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf as an Evangelical church designed by Hans Seytter. Its construction dates from the late 1930s.

The building measures about 24 metres by 12 metres and has a wooden interior. A slender tower houses two bells.

The nave seats approximately 200 people, while the gallery provides another 40 places. War damage led to restoration and reopening in 1947.

A 1976 organ contains 16 registers and 960 pipes. The church also houses a kindergarten.

The stained-glass window presents eight panels showing the Passion of Christ according to the Gospel of John. Wolf-Dieter Kohler created the replacement design in 1953 after the original window was destroyed during the war.

The panels trace scenes from Jesus’s entry into Jerusalem through his resurrection. The two bells include a 460-kilogram bell tuned to A and a 280-kilogram bell tuned to C.

Their inscriptions refer to the resurrection and the life, while the church’s proportions and timber interior define its architectural character. Wolfbuschkirche therefore combines a slender exterior, a wooden worship space, historic bells and a figurative window cycle.
