The equipment was donated primarily by the Gilardi and Heckel families. Inside, the largest ceiling fresco of the diocese of Eichstätt (monumental fresco “Maria Himmelfahrt” by Alois Wünsche from Eichstätt). Contains eight artistic grave monuments from Allersberg personalities of the 18th century.

The patronage "Maria (or in other spelling: Mariä) Himmelfahrt" of this church in Allersberg refers to one of the many days of commemoration or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Maria. It goes back to the feast of their physical acceptance into heaven, which the Church celebrates annually on August 15th.
In many rural areas it is common for the people to collect herbal bundles (called "Kruggweusch" in the Rhenish dialect) on this day and bless them in the festival service.
