history
A Martinskirche in Gomadingen was first mentioned around 1180. Your patron's name indicates a Franconian foundation. The original building was demolished in the 18th century and the church that exists today was built in 1760. It is surrounded by a cemetery. The church is located at the highest point of the place and the church area is enclosed with a wall.
Architecture and equipment
The design of the Martinskirche as a transverse church had already emerged 200 years earlier, especially in Württemberg: A conception aligned across the longitudinal axis of the room to the pulpit on the south wall with a gallery running around on three sides up to the non-retracted 3/8 choir. The stalls on the ground floor are likely to have been arranged accordingly until the 20th century. The altar and baptismal font have their freely accessible place there in the eastern center. The gallery parapet bears a cycle of pictures from the construction period (four prophets, four evangelists, the apostles and pictures from the life of Jesus) by Johann August Romay, the south wall a large Protestant devotional picture. The stucco ceiling with very sparingly used floral arabesques was created by a member of the nationally important Deggingen plastering family Schweizer. The baroque room looks bright and friendly thanks to the clear glazing of the windows.
