Evang. Gnadenkirche Heumaden
The Evang. Gnadenkirche Heumaden stands in the Heumaden district of Stuttgart, a church built in 1964. Its folded roof of raw concrete can look stern from the street. Community rooms, a parsonage and the youth ministry's office gather around a shared courtyard beside it.
In 1997 a careful renovation made the interior brighter and far more welcoming than the concrete outside suggests. Since then it has offered a space for quiet, prayer and personal meditation. Inside, art cycles by Ilse Holzwarth take up themes like the Trinity and the Passion. By day you may hear organ students running through their pieces.
The church year leaves its mark on the altar area. In Advent, large nativity figures from Nigeria stand there, and when Easter nears the confirmands build an Easter garden. The congregation belongs to the larger Sarahkirchengemeinde, which links it with other churches across Stuttgart. A book takes whatever visitors write in it: thoughts, worries, prayers, anything at all.
