from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parish Church of St. Laurentius

The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Laurentius in Paimar , a district of Grünsfeld in the Main-Tauber district , was named for the first time after the Thirty Years War and is consecrated to St. Laurentius of Rome . The Laurentiuskirche belongs as a branch of the Grünsfeld city church St. Peter and Paul to the pastoral care unit Grünsfeld-Wittighausen, which is assigned to the deanery Tauberbischofsheim of the Archdiocese of Freiburg .

history

At a granting of indulgences in 1362 no church was mentioned for the place Paimar, which means that there was probably no church at that time. The exact time of origin is not known. The church was first mentioned in a document after the Thirty Years War.

In 1659 the partially collapsed church wall was rebuilt. The collapsed altar was repaired in Grünsfeld and erected again in 1660. In 1886 the church was rebuilt and renovated in 2005.

Up until the 18th century there were only services on the second day of Pentecost, Corpus Christi, Sunday, Laurentius day and Christmas day. The Sunday morning service and the Christian doctrine were introduced by the pastor Breitenbach around 1800. When the Gerlachsheim monastery was dissolved, a monk settled in Paimar and conducted the service. From November 28, 1825 Grünsfeld decided that Paimar and Grünsfeldhausen should be supplied by a Grünsfeld chaplain. Today Paimar is looked after as a branch church by Grünsfeld.

Church building

The Laurentiuskirche is a simple village church that was built in the Empire style. Many parts of the church date from the Middle Ages. The choir tower has a walled-in triumphal arch in the west wall. The former choir is now partially used as a sacristy . Two side windows with colored glass ornaments show St. Laurentius and St. Michael .
