restoration

After the bell tower was re-plastered in 2007 and the weathered stones in it were replaced, the roof has been re-covered and the outer walls of the nave re-plastered since the beginning and until the end of 2009. From 2012 to 2014, the interior was completely refurbished, with the pulpit being given a polychrome paint finish.

In October 2011 the organ is in the workshop of the organ builder Blumenroeder in Hagenau. It is being restored and should be traced back to the earlier disposition of Joh. Andreas Silbermann.

Bells

The ringing consists of three bells with the striking tones e '- g' - a '. Bells 1 and 3 were cast by the Bachert bell foundry in Karlsruhe in 1964. Bell 2 is a casting from 1410.
