history
Today's St. Alban's Church continues the tradition of a church that was abandoned in the mid-16th century.
According to the files, St. Alban was probably the actual and oldest parish church in Trebur. In 1557 it says: “There were three churches, the one ERST in front of the town was called St. Alban and was the parish church. It has now been demolished and attached to the Rüsselsheim building (fortress). "
With the Reformation Trebur became Protestant, and only after the expulsion after the Second World War , Catholics settled in Trebur again.
