The church has been beautifully renovated (2019)! The abundance of Rococo does not seem over-burdened, however.
It was a surprise to find the gravestone inscription for Karlfried Graf Dürckheim, who, together with Maria Hippius, built up the existentialist-psychological meeting place in Todtmoos-Rütte and ran it for a long time. I was even able to meet him in person!
