Stiftung mittelalterliche Kirchen in Schwäbisch Hall

The Stiftung Mittelalterliche Kirchen, established in 1999, is dedicated exclusively to the preservation of the three medieval churches in Schwäbisch Hall, according to its statutes. The income from the foundation’s capital, which has been built up by numerous donors, is permanently used to finance conservation measures. Donations can be made during the donor’s lifetime, as monetary bequests, or as inheritances. The board decides on the ongoing use of the income in accordance with the donor’s intentions.

Our mission is to preserve the medieval churches of St. Michael, St. Katharina, and Urbanskirche as significant cultural-historical gems for future generations. With the proceeds from the foundation's capital, we sustainably support construction measures and conservation work to secure the architectural and artistic heritage of these churches in the long term and to maintain vibrant places of community and culture.

The funding is directed at the Evangelical Church Congregation of Schwäbisch Hall as well as professionals and institutions carrying out maintenance and restoration projects on the three medieval churches. Donors who strengthen the foundation’s capital through their financial contributions benefit from tax advantages and actively contribute to the structural future of the churches.
