In the east of the old town of Goslar stands the Stephanikirche in the former residential area of the merchants, craftsmen and arable citizens. It was named after St. Stephen, the Christian arch-martyr from the early church in Jerusalem, who was stoned for his belief in Jesus Christ. There was already a Romanesque basilica on this site in the 12th century. Like the entire district, this fell victim to a devastating city fire in 1728.

Shortly after this tragedy, the residents of Goslar began building a new church. Today's three-aisled hall church was built in the Baroque style, which was inaugurated in 1734.

In the Stephanikirche, the carved pillars of the organ gallery, the altar wall from the 18th century and the pulpit are particularly worth seeing. A guided tour of the church is possible by appointment.

Saint Stephen (or in a different way of spelling Stefan, both variants also partially with the ending "... i"), patron saint of this evangelical Goslar church, is one of the seven first deacons of the early Jerusalem community and is the first martyr (blood witness) of the early Christianity. The Church will remember him on Boxing Day, December 26th.

When Stephen said aloud his vision of the open heaven, "But he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven, saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts chapter 7 verse 55), the people were so indignant, that they drove him out of town and stoned him.

A beautiful church where you can walk to the altar to see everything. A special place of rest is the prayer area to the left of the altar.
