    Tips

    Saint Martin, to whom this palace chapel is dedicated, is probably one of the most popular saints of all, along with Saint Nicholas. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is on November 11th. On the night after the famous "dividing of the cloak", when he leaves half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. He then converted to Christianity and was later elected bishop of Tours (France), initially against his will.

    Many are likely to have fond childhood memories of making lanterns in kindergarten and elementary school, the evening lantern procession through the dark village / district - and of course the delicious "Weckmann".

      The ruins of the tower of the church, first mentioned in 1310, have survived. Next to it is the hall church, which essentially dates from the 14th century and was extensively modified in 1658.
