history
The richly structured Romanesque choir tower from the last quarter of the 12th century comes from a previous building consecrated to Saint Martin of Tours . There are numerous figurative representations on its frieze consoles, including Saint Martin. The top floor was built in the late Gothic period.
The Romanesque church, where the Reformation was finally introduced in 1568 , was replaced in 1850/52 by a representative new building in classicist forms. The old organ built by Johann Andreas Silbermann , which was replaced by a new instrument by Joseph Stiehr , which included parts of the Silbermann organ, did not meet the requirements of the new church interior . Most of the Silbermann organ ended up in the church of St. Arbogast in Saint-Pierre, Alsace .
