The Magnuskirche in Worms, Germany, is the city's smallest church, located south of Worms Cathedral. Likely dedicated to Magnus of Füssen, a Carolingian saint, it originated in the 8th century—portions of that earliest structure survive in the nave's north wall—though its first documented mention appears in 1141. Romanesque in its core, the building underwent multiple enlargements between the 10th and 15th centuries while serving as the parish church of the nearby Andreasstift. It holds significance as the oldest Lutheran church in south-west Germany, having hosted Martin Luther's preaching during the 1520 Diet of Worms. Following severe damage in 1689 during the Nine Years' War, it was restored in the Baroque style in 1756. The church was destroyed by Allied bombing on 21 February 1945 and reconstructed in 1953. It is designated a Kulturdenkmal.
