I was very lucky and received a private tour from Mr. Berthold during my visit. The grandson of one of the donors. All of the front windows are donated by this family.

The church should first get a wooden ceiling. The 900 inhabitants (mainly farmers) then did everything possible to build a vault. You have e.g. The bricks from the nearby brick factory were transported to the building free of charge and the craftsmen accommodated and tasted.

The tiles are from Villeroy and Boch.

Families who have emigrated to America from need are now making active donations for the preservation of the Church.

The old church stands on the main street and has been preserved because a Raiffeisen camp was maintained there for over 90 years. Today the building is used as a community center.

The fountain in front of the church is reminiscent of a swindler. In connection with the spirit of optimism in church building (and Tulla had tamed the Rhine here in 1850), he led the residents to collect money for a train station. Even though there was a line nearby (Schifferstadt). The route was already marked out by the poor farmers. When he had collected enough money, the fraudster set off and away. He was not caught.

The village church Maria Himmelfahrt dates from 1891. The building with the 50 meter high church tower was paid for 133,600 marks from the wealthy Otterstadt at that time, while the interior was largely financed by donors.

Brick church, it is worth a look inside, especially the windows.
