St. Laurentius (Nussloch)
The St. Laurentius Church is a Catholic church in Nussloch in the Rhein-Neckar district in northwest Baden-Württemberg . It was built in 1755/56 according to plans by Franz Wilhelm Rabaliatti and expanded in 1897.
history
Nussloch was first mentioned in a document in 766 in the Lorsch Codex . It is not known since when there was a church in Nussloch. The Worms Synodale , a visitation report of the parishes in the diocese of Worms , mentions the church patronage of St. Laurentius for the first time in 1496 . The patronage could be connected with the Lorsch daughter monasteries on the Heiligenberg , then it would go back to the 11th century.
After Elector Ottheinrich introduced the Reformation in the Palatinate in 1556 , Nussloch also had to follow the multiple changes of denomination. When the Palatinate church was divided in 1707, the church was assigned to the Catholics and a Catholic parish was set up again in Nussloch. In 1756 the dilapidated church was replaced by a new building. The plans were drawn up by the builder Franz Wilhelm Rabaliatti from the Electoral Palatinate . At the end of the 19th century the church had become too small for the increased population, which is why the polygonal choir was torn down between 1895 and 1897 and the church was expanded with a transept and a new choir. In 1988 the church was restored. The parish of St. Laurentius, together with Leimen and Sandhausen, has been part of a pastoral care unit in the Wiesloch dean's office in the Archdiocese of Freiburg since 2011 .
