    The foundation stone for today's church was laid in August 1888. The church was extended by a new building and the ship was raised. The former domed tower was replaced by a pointed tower, and for consecration in 1889, the patronal feast of the Assumption was granted to the church. Worth seeing is the Rococo altar by Bernhard Kamm, the last prince-bishop court sculptor Bambergs and the organ by Johann Wolf.

      The patronage "Maria (or in other spelling: Mariä) Himmelfahrt" of this church in Höfen refers to one of the many commemorative days or feast days in honor of Mary, the mother of God. It goes back to the feast of their physical acceptance into heaven, which the Church celebrates annually on August 15th.
      In many rural areas it is common for the people to collect herbal bundles (called "Kruggweusch" in the Rhenish dialect) on this day and bless them in the festival service.

        The local Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Höfen, which is located directly on the main street, invites you to linger for a while with its beautiful and not overloaded interior. In the Christmas season, a look at the very lovingly designed Christmas crib is highly recommended.
