Mauritiuskirche Reichenbach an der Fils

The tower of the Mauritius Church dates from 1522. The sandstone used to build the tower of the Mauritius Church was broken in the Lützelbachtal and when the railroad came to the Filstal, such cuboids were loaded onto freight wagons and transported to Ulm to continue building the Ulm Minster. Since the interior of the church was too small, it was expanded in the Art Nouveau style between 1905 and 1907 according to designs by the Stuttgart architects Richard Böklen and Carl Feil. Today the church has almost 1000 seats. In 1982 the valuable organ with its particularly beautiful Art Nouveau prospectus was costly renewed. In 1997 the interior of the church underwent a fundamental renovation, at the same time the somewhat unsuccessful changes of the renovation from 1954 were removed and the church was returned to its original state. Today the Mauritius Church is one of the few Art Nouveau churches in southwest Germany. The Mauritius Church with the rectory, the church forecourt with the fountain and the cemetery behind it together form a listed ensemble.Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichenbach_an_der_Fils#Die_evangelische_Mauritiuskirche
