Guided Story
In front of you stands St. Heinrich, a Catholic parish church designed by Hans Schurr. This church is not only a place of worship but also an architectural heritage monument in Bavaria. Take a moment to appreciate the facade, showcasing the architectural styles typical of its era. It was on October 23, 1910, that the church was consecrated by the Archbishop of Bamberg, Friedrich Philipp von Abert. Originally dedicated to both Saint Heinrich and his wife, Empress Kunigunde, today it's simply known as St. Heinrich. Located in the heart of Fürth's southern district, if you look south, you might catch a glimpse of the Südstadtpark, while to the northwest is St. Paul.
