The Church of the Holy Spirit (Heiliggeistkirche) is the largest church in Heidelberg, Germany, standing in the marketplace of the old town. Constructed between 1398 and 1515 in Romanesque and Gothic styles, it was planned as the burial place of the Electors of the Palatinate. Its nave and choir were divided by a wall for about 300 years, allowing Catholic and Protestant worship side by side until the wall was removed in 1936.
