history

Parish Church of St Marys

Weilheim was first mentioned in 1275, it had a parish church with an old Marian patronage early on, to which Grosselfingen and Wessingen also belonged. The village was always zollerisch and had to take over the protection of the county and the castle of Hohenzollern against the west. Hence the pronounced defensive character of the Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary and the cemetery. The church tower with two meter thick walls, loopholes and an earlier entrance five meters high was free until the church was expanded in 1767.

During the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg , Weilheim was incorporated into the city of Hechingen on April 1, 1972.
