Tips
According to a parish register from 1560, the first church in Breitenau was built in 1298.[1] The originally Romanesque structure was expanded by 1500 to include a tower over the altar house and a sacristy. The slated tower roof was rebuilt in 1605 after a storm. In the late 17th or early 18th century, the nave was rebuilt and expanded to its current form. The lords of the manor, located next to the church, were the church's patrons. They had their hereditary burials in the church. From 1464 to 1596, this position was held by the Coburg noble family of Bach.[2] The Reformation was introduced in 1521.Source:de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Marien_(Breitenau)
