The Laurentius Chapel in Hürbelsbach, which is over 1,100 years old.
The chapel, which is now isolated in a forest-lined meadow, was the parish church of a settlement until 1493, which around 1500 consisted only of the chapel itself and a sacristan's house and is absolutely worth seeing.

1100 years of Hürbelsbach
A gift from Queen Kunigunde to the Lorsch Imperial Monastery.
The German Queen Kunigunde donated her property to Hürbelsbach on February 8, 915
the Lorsch Imperial Monastery on Bergstrasse. His monks should
pray for the salvation of their souls after their death. The monks received taxes for this
from here to their supply. The name Hürbelsbach means originally
dirty stream. He refers to the deposits that contain a lot of iron
at the source of the stream.
At that time, Hürbelsbach only comprised a large farm on which
around 30 people lived and belonged to the Gingen administrative association.
Hürbelsbach was originally also part of the Gingen parish. Around 1106
Hürbelsbach was unlawfully stolen from the monks.
