Lutherkirche
The Luther Church is an evangelical church in Pirmasens. Landgrave Ludwig IX commissioned the church to be built in 1757/1758 as a court and garrison church. In 1790, he found his final resting place here. The church, which is now a protected monument, was referred to as "Lower Church" from 1818 and as "Luther Church" from 1931. Today, it is the oldest Protestant church in the city and serves as the deanery church of the Protestant church district of Pirmasens. The furnishings include a historical altar cloth and a meditation candelabrum crafted by Erwin Würth from Petersbächel. Above the entrance, one can see the coat of arms of the Landgrave, a cross-bearing tower with a lion and a swan as heraldic animals.
