The Architectural Style. The “Pauluskirche”
in <strong>Heidenheim</strong> was built between 1895 and
1898 during the new Gothic period. It was financed
by important foundations of <strong>Heidenheim</strong>
citizens and designed by Felix von Bremer,
an architect from Stuttgart. The “Pauluskirche”
is a wonderfully maintained example
of a new Gothic church.
In 1898 the “Link” organ was inaugurated
together with the “Pauluskirche”. It had 34
organ stops. In the course of time it was redesignedseveral
times.
When plans
for the restoration
of the church were made in the 1980s
a new organ was planned, too. In 1992 an
order for a completely new organ was given
to “Rieger Organs”. With the inauguration of
the new organ at Whitsun in 1999 the
restoration of the new church was completed.
The new organ has 40 organ stops.
The Bells. The church has got four bells,
which, in the course of time, were often
required to produce weapons in wars. Every
bell has got its own name and relief.
