Titus Kirche

The spacious Protestant Church near Karl Barth’s home. Barth often went to this church and even influenced ist architecture. When it cam to naming the newly-built church, both «Titus» and «Bartholomew» were proposed. Barth voted strongly for «Titus» as he was concerned that the short form for «Bartholomew Church» would be the «Barthli Church».

Karl Barth with Rev. Widmer at the «Titusfest» on June 4th, 1966
