Interesting town center with a beautiful view of the church

A wood flower installation has been decorating the green area in Weilheim's town center since Easter 2020, stimulated by the mayor Gerd Eberwein and created by children and adolescents as a change in Corona times.
A pair of storks are guests in the church tower. Usually storks are not as common in this corner as e.g. in the Pfrungener Ried.

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.
