Evangelical St Ulrich's Church

The church began as a vestibule to the basilica of St Ulrich ans St Afra. It became Protestant following the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.











Basilica of St Ulrich and St Afra

Cathedral was built in 1476 on the site of a Roman temple. St Ulrich and St Afra are the patron saints of the city of Augsburg. Both are buried here. This is a church shared by the Catholic and Protestant. The Peace of Augsburg was signed in 1555 putting an end to the violent religious conflict.

Dom/Stadtwerke to Theodor Heuss Platz

We then took the tram again to Theodor Heuss Platz stop for St Ulrich and St Afra Church. It was easy to take the tram, bus or train in Germany as we could see the stops along the way.
