St. Fidelis
St. Fidelis is a Catholic church in Stuttgart-West’s Rosenberg district, near the Diakonie-Klinikum Stuttgart and Hoppenlau School. Its yellow-sandstone façade stands back from the street. An outer wall, two entrance gates, turrets, and arcades lead towards a triangular gable with three portals.
Clemens Hummel designed this three-aisled hall church between 1924 and 1925, blending Historicism, New Objectivity, early Christian, and Romanesque forms. No tower or transept breaks its gabled roof. World War II heavily damaged the building, while its reconstruction preserved a hall carried by reinforced-concrete arches and filled with tall glass windows. In 1964, Rudolf Schwarz redesigned the interior after the reforms of the Second Vatican Council.
A high coffered wooden barrel vault rises above the nave, which measures 32 metres long and 14.5 metres wide. Georg Meistermann’s stained-glass windows bring colour inside. The main portal combines a mosaic with Josef Zeitler’s three-part sculpture of musical angels, while black-green marble liturgical objects keep the chancel spare.
