The building history of the church is not fully understood, but can be roughly divided into four phases:

The nave was built around 1100 and is therefore the oldest surviving part of the church, but was later frequently redesigned. There are Romanesque stonemason's marks on the north and south sides of the nave. It was redesigned, among other things, by the subsequent addition of the 45 meter high tower, which was the city's only landmark until 1824. The tower was probably an old entrance to the church; in addition to the rarely used portal on the west side, the entrance that is usually used today was built on the south side of the nave.
The church tower with four main floors up to today's tower gallery was built in 1380/90, the portal is dated to 1390/1410 based on stylistic comparisons with Nuremberg works of art.
The choir was added around 1480.
The octagonal tower top above today's tower gallery was added in 1520/1530.

Very simple church. But that's exactly why it's so beautiful.
So far it has survived all wars and is therefore the oldest surviving church in Fürth.

This church in Fürth is dedicated to the Archangel Michael, the name (coming from Hebrew) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted - on paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword or lance. Michael is - together with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel - one of the four archangels who (according to human imagination) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints calendar is September 29th.
