The Weinfelder St. Martin's Church is a chapel that was destroyed several times and rebuilt again and again and was probably already important for this area during Roman times. The story is told in some contradictory ways. The reproduction from the website below seems the most realistic to me: kulturdb.de/einobjekt.php?id=800

One more thing should be mentioned: The Weinfelder Maar is also called Totenmaar because the people of Schalkenmehren buried their dead in the cemetery near the chapel, and are still buried.

Saint Martin is - next to Saint Nicholas - one of the most popular saints of all. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is November 11th. On the night after the famous “coat sharing”, when he surrenders half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears in a dream. He converted to Christianity and was later elected Bishop of Tours - initially against his will. Almost every child who grew up in Germany should have fond memories of lantern handicrafts in kindergarten and elementary school, the evening lantern parade through the dark village / district - and of course the delicious "Weckmann".

The lonely chapel is all that is left of a village.

Very pretty with a graveyard.
