Christi Auferstehung
Christi Auferstehung stands in western Memmingen as a church with black cladding and an unusual, low profile. Its seven-sided plan creates a light, protective interior. A low bell tower carries a gilded cross added in 1985, beside the Protestant Versöhnungskirche. The building belongs to Memmingen’s parish community. Rounded lines soften the exterior, while the compact form avoids the towering façades of traditional churches. The result feels calm and balanced from within.
A Madonna by Memmingen’s Strigel artist family stands inside on loan from the Bavarian National Museum. The processional cross recreates the Great God of Altenstadt. This Romanesque crucifix dates from the early thirteenth century and shows Christ wearing a golden circlet instead of thorns. The golden circlet expresses royal dignity. Frau Klee of Ottobeuren designed the tabernacle from imagery in the Revelation of John, using silver and twelve raw gemstones. Those stones evoke the walls, battlements, and gates of the heavenly Jerusalem.
