history

The church was first mentioned in a document around the year 700 as a baptistery . In 1225, the previously rectangular choir was expanded to include a three-sided choir closure. In 1473 a nave was added. In 1742 the church was redesigned in baroque style. In the 1920s the church was too small, so the new building was inserted between the choir and tower. The church was consecrated on October 24, 1927 by Bishop Joannes Baptista Sproll . During this extension, the oldest wall paintings in Württemberg were found in the old choir. On June 27, 1935, part of the church was destroyed by an earthquake, the gable of the church tower fell into the crossing of the church, in which no one was at the time. In 1968 the high altar was removed and the church got a new popular altar , ambo and tabernacle . These new liturgical places were created by Josef Henger. The consecration of these took place on Rosary Sunday, October 6, 1968.
