Stadtkirche St. Mauritius
In Stuttgart-Feuerbach stands the Stadtkirche St. Mauritius, the oldest church in this part of the city. Built between 1789 and 1790, it replaced an older, smaller, dilapidated building. The church enjoys protection as a historical monument.
Artwork by two generations of the Kohler family threads through the building. Walter Kohler added a Resurrection window to the tower chapel during a renovation in 1934. His son Wolf-Dieter followed in 1953 with three stained glass windows for the choir. He also designed the community house's wall hangings of 1976, showing the parables of the mustard seed and the prodigal son. Since 1983 an organ by the builder Rohlf has stood in the altar area. The Mauritius Kantorei, children's choirs and a youth choir carry the music. The programme stretches from classical organ performances to contemporary compositions, with chamber music alongside.
Sexton Stefan Vollert leads visitors up the tower. There you can look into the heart of the tower clock: an old mechanical clockwork that still drives the hands. Beyond the bell chamber, the top of the tower opens into a panorama over Feuerbach.
