St. Anna

St. Anne's is a medieval church in the Old Town with a history that reaches back to at least the early 14th-century. The church was also at the centrestage of the Protestant Reformation during the time Martin Luther stayed here in the early 16th-century. A section of the church is used as a museum to Martin Luther (free entry), which makes a second good reason to visit. Opening times are 10am to 6pm (Mon), 12am to 6pm (Tues to Sat) and in between services on Sunday. Architecturally, St. Anne's is a beautiful church with quite a bit to see ranging from gothic era frescos, baroque altars to renaissance era chapels, including the richly decorated Fugger Chapel. There are handhold information cards in various languages you can use to self-guide yourself through the church viewing her highlights. As mentioned, St. Anne's has an upstairs section dedicated to the life of times of Martin Luther, who stayed at the church during 1518 and the early days of the Lutheran Movement and eventual Reformation. This makes for a great complementary visit to the main body of the church. Together we spent around 45 minutes at the church and museum and very much recommend both to those sightseeing arou

old evangilical church from the the 1321 as a part of a Monastery. The interior is full of history and decorations mostly related to the Era of Martin Luther and the relation with the catholic church thats why theres a museum for this part. beautiful medieval church.

If you are visiting Augsburg, take the time to visit this church, not only is it beautiful but there is an exhibit that explains the birth of Protestantism and the struggle with Catholicism to co-habit in the region. The exhibit is very well done, the only part I would suppress, is a recording next to an open chest that repeats on a rather creepy voice: “Du bist ein Sünder” (you are a sinner).

A great and historical church in the center of Augsburg. The interesting thing about this church is that the church converted tk Protestantism but Jakob Fugger (one of the richest people to ever live) built a cathedral which connected with the main church. The cathedral is catholic. Meaning that 1/7 of the church is catholic and the rest Protestant. The Actually church is great for religious purposes and the design is lavish and interesting.

A real treasure - besides being historical, there is much beauty to be found inside as well as the original painting of Martin Luther attributed to Cranach. This church began as a Carmelite cloister in the early 14th Century, and other major portions of the building date to the late 15th Century and right around 1600. The small, older chapel is stunning. This site is well worth the visit - allow time to take it all in!
