Stephanus Church in Echterdingen: A millennium full of history!
With an impressive history spanning over 1000 years, St. Stephen's Church in Echterdingen holds a significant place in local architecture. Its roots go back to the early Middle Ages, and Wolfgang Haug, the volunteer museum director in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, describes it as the “oldest building we have in Echterdingen.” The church is not just a building, but also a symbol of cultural heritage and community.
On November 23rd, a new book will be published that sheds light on the life experiences and contemporary historical aspects of St. Stephen's Church. Written by Hansgeorg Kraft and his wife Sonja, the book takes readers on a journey through time and explains why this church is considered the “most important, most significant place of worship”. This call for proposals from Kraft and his team shows how architecture, history and spirituality intertwine.
