church of the holy ghost (heiliggeistkirche)

可能因为是我接触的第一座德国教堂，那种古典的建筑美感给了我很好的印象，特别是清晨里安静的广场上，教堂完完全全地成为主角，气势逼人，就像数百年来作为城镇精神核心的样貌，一直不曾褪色、改变。

While walking through the Old Town, we found this lovely gothic church. It is very typical for its era and has wonderful stained glass. It was quite serene in the mid-afternoon light. There is access to a tower for a small fee, but we did not do this, but perhaps the next visit over we will.

The church is, by all accounts, very dark and Gothic looking from the outside. Once inside, the light shining through the stained glass windows is beautiful. I sat in the church for almost an hour just admiring the windows. I sat for another 30 minutes praying and meditating. There was a prayer wall for people to write prayers offered up to God and them post them for others to pray for them as well.

walk up the tower to the outside and get great views of the town, river and castle. We were lucky and musicians were playing which from above was inspiring.

Attended the December 24, 2300 service. Most moving and a wonderful way to celebrate the Season. Beautiful chore and accomplished orchestra

Heiliggeistkirche is a beauty, inside and out. I found it much more to my taste than the Jesuitenkirche, for example. It is placed in a large, inviting square, and is a beauty from every angle on the outside. I also found the interior lovely as well. While it may not be packed with medieval treasures it is a brighter space than I had expected, and it does house the tomb of Rupert III (ruled from 1398-1410) and his queen Elizabeth, very well crafted.It is also a welcome respite from the rest of the somewhat crowded pedestrian zone - a place to take a breather while planning your next foray into Heidelberg. I recommend it!

The church looks very old and in good condition. But there is not much to recommend it inside. They were setting up long tables with tablecloths that filled the church. Disappointing.

This church is huge! Inside, it is very stark and plain compared to most large churches/cathedrals you see around Europe, but is still pretty. The best part it the walk to the tower. It cost 2€ to go to the top and has 208 steps-- so the climb isn't for everyone. But on the way up, you can stop on the balcony and see a great view of the inside of the church. Then, after a good climb you reach the top of the tower and are treated to a stunning view of the city.

This is a light filled church with a lofty ceiling. There had just been a christening and it was lovely to see that there is a normal life in these tourist heavy city.

I loved the pink sandstone building with its hight arches. It's right int he centre of the old town and well worth a visit.

The church's interiors are rather laconis, but the organ is great. The chrch is free to visit, a walk up the tower costs 2 euros and is very worth the money. Don't go up the narrow winding stairs too fast or you'll get tired too soon, and it is a long walk. The views from the tower are stunning.

Our first evening in Heidelberg we walked past the door of the church and thought, "why not?". It isn't as beautiful as some churches but there is something about it. We spent a good 30 minutes or so looking at the wonderful stained glass.The next day we were walking past the church on our way to the Student Jail when we heard beautiful organ music coming from it. Went back in and the choir master was practising for an organ concert that evening. We went. It was €10 per person but money well spent for over an hour of wonderfully played organ music.

The Heiliggeistkirche was built over a forty year period from 1400 on the site of an earlier Romanesque basilica. Being the oldest building in Heidelberg we strolled inside and thoroughly enjoyed the simple interior and photographic displays.The few euros admission to ascend the tower is well worth while and rewards visitors with great views of the town and surrounds.

The Church is nice but, to my opinion, the strongest interest lies in its location, because some fifty meters beyond it one enjoys a magnificent view of the castle from below. In addition, it is close to the old bridge which is quite spectacular

The Church of the Holy Spirit is may be the most famous church in Heidelberg, in the old center, standing in the middle of the market place, but it is hard to make an opinion of the inside.As much as the outside is gigantic, the inside is missing something, not that we don't like simplicity in churches, but this one doesn't seems to invite you to prayer.
