history

Tower of the castle church

The hall was built in the period from 1726 to 1729. The tower was built in Baroque style between 1756 and 1758 and in 1840 it was raised by two floors in the form of ashlar masonry. After the church was destroyed by bombs on March 18, 1945 at the end of the Second World War , the hall was rebuilt from 1953 to 1956. The architects were Hans and Ernst Buch from Bad Dürkheim and Hans Georg Fiebiger from Kaiserslautern . Since then, community rooms have been accommodated on the ground floor, while the upper floor houses the community hall.
