The church of St. Gumbertus, named for Saint Gondelbert, is one of the central city churches of Ansbach, Bavaria, together with the neighboring St. Johannis.[1][2][3] Located in the Altstadt (old town) of Ansbach, St. Gumbertus, now a Lutheran church, was originally the church of a monastery that was founded by St. Gumbert around 750. Today it serves as a venue for concerts of the music festival Bachwoche Ansbach. The church contains the oldest structures in Ansbach and is considered Ansbach's city symbol.[1]
