Neustädter Church Erlangen

The Neustadt Church was built from the beginning for the growing Evangelical Lutheran community (in contrast to the Huguenot Church, located on Hugenottenplatz)

The Evangelical Reformed Church in Erlangen is known as the Huguenot Church. It was built between 1686 and 1693 according to plans by Johann Moritz Richter. The construction took place in the course of designing the Erlangen Neustadt, a baroque planned city. The tower dates from the years 1732 to 1736. The Erlangen church is the oldest Huguenot church still in use outside of France. In addition, the Evangelical Reformed Church is probably the most important church building in Erlangen, the oldest building in Erlangen's Neustadt district and, after the Martinsbühl Church, the second oldest church in Erlangen.

The Neustadt church was built from 1722, which was intended for the Huguenot community. The church was finally completed in 1744 after money problems and responsibilities delayed construction.
