Buildings

Located in the upper part of Börtlingen is the Johanneskirche , which was first mentioned in a document in 1202. The original late Gothic building of today's church was built around 1500 and was later probably modified in Baroque style in the 18th century . The parish mentioned in 1271 was incorporated into the Adelberg Monastery. From 1595 Börtlingen was a branch of Oberwälden. In 1844 Börtlingen became its own parish again. Today's Protestant parish of Börtlingen -Birenbach in the church district of Göppingen includes the communities of Börtlingen and Birenbach . The core of the Börtlinger church is late Gothic (around 1500), but has been changed several times. The tower was built in 1819. A Johannis bowl from the 14th century and a Vespers picture from 1500 have been preserved in the choir . As part of the major church renovation in 1956, the Stuttgart glass painter Adolf Valentin Saile created the choir window with motifs around John the Baptist and John the Evangelist.

Between the district of Breech and Rattenharz , on the district road K 1408, ( 48 ° 46 ′ 10 ″  N , 9 ° 38 ′ 29 ″  E ) is the Reinhold Maier Tower , which is colloquially known as the lighthouse long Franz . The observation tower, a former pendulum water tower , is around 25 m high and can also be seen from Börtlingen. It was built in 1914 and was used as a water tower until 2008, after which it was retained as a tower on the initiative of the mayor and some citizens and was not torn down. After a public survey and positive feedback, the tower was converted into a lookout tower in 2009.
