St. Stephan, also called Stephanskirche, has been the first longer existing Evangelical Church of Würzburg since 1803. It goes back to the monastery church of a Benedictine convention of St. Stephan, which was dissolved by secularization. A few years earlier, the old building of the monastery church was largely demolished in 1788/89 and a new building was built according to Johann Philipp Geigel plans. The old building with the associated monastery buildings goes back to 1014, namely to a former St. Peter and Paul college pencil, which was converted into a Benedictine monastery by Bishop Adalbero in 1057. After the transfer of relics of St. Stephanus, it was only named after this, while the name St. Peter and Paul was transferred to the new parish church. The monastery buildings were used profane after 1803, totally destroyed and removed in 1945. New buildings took up the government of Lower Franconia. The church was rebuilt in 1949–1955 as a flat hedged hall building, inaugurated in 1952 and is now the dean's church of Würzburg. In addition to the existing CVJM from 1963, institutions such as the Rudolf Alexander-Schröder-Haus, an Evangelical bookstore and a advice center of the Diakonie were created in addition to the existing CVJM, which made the place a Würzburg Evangelical Center.
