The church in Diegelsberg was dedicated to Saint Paul. At first he was an opponent of the Christian movement and was not called to the apostle ministry like the other apostles by Jesus Christ during his lifetime, but was only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience" (see Acts of the Apostles, chapter 9).
His attribute, with which he is usually depicted in paintings or as a statue, is the sword with which he was executed. According to the Roman law of the time, such a sentence was a “privilege” (quick death and not associated with a long, agonizing agony like other types of execution) that the citizens of Rome were entitled to.
Peter (Peter) is also known together with Paul as the "Princes of the Apostles", their common memorial day in the calendar of saints is June 29th.

Even if you are not a proven fan of church architecture, you have a beautiful panoramic view of the Filstal across from the church.
