The ship has a west gallery . In the upper area of ​​the baroque altar, the middle shrine and wings of a late Gothic winged altar from the end of the 15th century are integrated, which may come from the previous church, not mentioned. Biblical scenes and figures of saints are shown. Further sculptures of saints from the second half of the 15th century adorn the church. The pulpit dates from 1700, the baptismal font from 1788. Norbert Krohmer painted the ceiling paintings of the Holy Family and the miracle of roses of St. Elisabeth around 1928.
