architecture

The nave is a three-aisled hall church and was essentially built in the second half of the 15th century. In 1880/1881 the church was extended in neo-Gothic style by two bays to the east. Since then, it has had a three-sided, single-nave choir with a surrounding sacristy.

On December 10, 2006 the parish church of St. Nicholas was reopened after several years of renovation. The entire interior has now been redesigned, but the new church windows represent the biggest change: instead of old German glass, the windows in the south are now very colorful, the windows in the north are more covered. The new windows were financed entirely through donations.

One of the windows is dedicated to the memory of the Jewish student Elisabeth Block , her family and all the Jewish victims. The penitential prayer of John XXIII is shown on a window that was subsequently designed . To read about the centuries of neglect of the Catholic Church towards the Jews, a tablet informs about the purpose of these two windows.
