Ludwigskirche in Saarbrücken

The vertical panorama shows the sacred interior of the important German baroque church in the district of Alt-Saarbrücken. Wilhelm-Heinrich
from Nassau-Saarbrücken placed the order with the architect Friedrich Joachim Stengel 1762 to build Lugwigskirche and Ludwigsplatz in the style of a "place royal". The official inauguration of the current landmark of Saarbrücken finally took place in 1775. The church was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War. During the lengthy construction of the church, the decision was ultimately taken to re-establish the baroque interior decoration to ensure it was turned back into a harmonious whole from the inside and out. The Evangelical Reformed sacred building rises from the shape of a Greek cross in the currently predominantly Catholic Saarland region. The pulpit in the main axis of the room refers to the central role of the sermon and the organ case looming over it emphasises the function of music during the church service.
