St. Anna is a Catholic church in Heidelberg's old town. It was built between 1714 and 1717 as a hospital church and is dedicated to St. Anne

Architecture
The church is a single-nave, flat-roofed building, which is oriented to the south for urban planning reasons. The baroque facade [...] is structured by four pilasters with richly decorated Corinthian capitals. It is crowned by a curved gable with a turret, which was supposed to simulate a dome. However, this effect is negated by the later built-in window and the clock. The west side [...] has not been designed as the second wing of the hospital was originally supposed to connect here.

Interior
The interior of the church is kept simple. In addition to the late Baroque side altars showing St. Anne (left) and St. Francis Xavier (right) and the classicist pulpit, the high altar is particularly noteworthy. It was created by an artist close to Paul Egell and consists of a crucifix looming over the tabernacle. At the foot of the cross stands St. Rochus, patron saint of those suffering from the plague, who turns to the crucified as an advocate for the sick and suffering, opposite him is a praying angel.
