Protestant church

Ecclesiastical and secular authorities can be found around mid-Werderstraße: here, the district court and Protestant church face each other.

Müllheim became seat of the district court in 1864, so a new building was needed. At the same time, a prison was built behind it, serving as a youth detention centre until 2010.

From 1876, the open area on the other side of the road became occupied by the neo-Gothic construction of the Protestant church.

It opened in 1881 and replaced Martin’s Church as a place for Protestant service.

The Catholic congregation had opened its own new church on upper Werderstraße already three years earlier.
