St. Egidien is a Baroque church at Egidienplatz in Nuremburg. The church's history dates back to the early Middle Ages. However, the church you see today is a post WWII reconstruction of the early 18th-century building by Johann Trost and Gottlieb Trost.

Sadly, during the 20th-century reconstructions, it was cost prohibitive to revive the churches previous ornate Baroque interior.

The exterior is attractive, featuring two towers with clock faces, topped with crosses. These make for nice photos when you step back on the square a bit.

An die Egidienkirche angebaut, finden sich noch zwei interessante Kapellen deutlich älteren Baujahres (abzweigend vom Hauptbau hinten rechts): Die Euchariuskapelle (ca. 1120) beherbergt einen sehenswerten Katharinenaltar, die daran anschließende Tetzelkapelle (um 1345) ein schönes Grabmal...

Heute am Ostersonntag erstrahlt die einzige noch existierende Barockkirche im österlichen Schmuck. Eine Gruppe Gehörlose besuchte zum gemeinsamen Gebet die Kirche im Rahmen einer österlichen Beduchtigung von Nürnberg. Es war interessant, wie Sie sich in der Gebärdensprache die Ausführungen und Gebete "anhörten". Die Kirche ist einen Besuch auf...
