St. Ulrich
St Ulrich is a protected Evangelical Lutheran parish church in Pfuhl, a district of Neu-Ulm, Bavaria. Its Romanesque beginnings reach back around the year 1000. A Gothic chancel tower and almost square nave now shape the building, whose galleries occupy the north and west sides. The tower ends in a pointed helmet above the church.
The Laidolph noble family built the original private church, which measured about eleven metres by six. Late-fourteenth-century rebuilding replaced its Romanesque tower and apse. A fifteenth-century enlargement added the present nave, while the tower rose to its current height. The surviving paintings include St Ulrich and St Afra, Passion scenes, portraits, a Last Judgment, and scenes from Mary’s life.
Inside, Baroque sandstone grave slabs join paintings created during Gothic rebuilding in 1394. Ekkehard Simon’s 1982 organ uses mechanical action. Three bells complete the historic interior, including the oldest, dated either 1400 or 1450, with inscriptions naming saints.
