Thomaskirche
Thomaskirche stands in Stuttgart’s Kaltental district as an Evangelical church with a distinctive architectural presence. Its tower rises from a building integrated into the hillside.
The church was built in 1938, destroyed during the Second World War, and rebuilt in 1951. Its rebuilt form combines a dignified style with rooms for community gatherings.
Inside, Ulrich Henn’s wall relief Thomas und Christus presents Thomas within the story of doubt and belief. A round choir window shows Christ’s crucifixion with Mary and John.
Yellow tones in the window represent Easter light and connect the scene with resurrection symbolism. Four bells sound together in a warm E-flat minor chord.
Their tuning also harmonises with the bells of nearby St Antonius Church during worship and liturgical occasions. Several large and small rooms support community events, cultural gatherings and social meetings.
The church links post-war architectural history with the everyday communal life of Stuttgart’s Kaltental district. Its tower, relief, choir window and bells give the building a clear identity.
