    The parish church of the Assumption in Aub was first destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and again in the Second World War. Thus, the church was rebuilt in 1951. A crucifixion group of Tilmann Riemenschneider in the west of the church, built around 1520, was fortunately outsourced in 1945 and has been preserved.

      The first secured church building in Aub dates back to 1136. If you walk around the church outside, you can still see the floor plan of this late Romanesque minster. It is lifted out by other cobblestones. This medieval church was about a quarter larger than the current building.

      During the time of Prince-Bishop Julius Echter, this medieval cathedral was demolished because it was simply too big. The new church building, created around 1610 to 1615, was a hall church with high and light windows. The high choir is the most impressive part from the 17th century. The ship could have looked something like the church today. It was designed as a three-aisled facility.

      Around 1750, the pillars and the vaults in the nave were broken out and a hall was created, which was now spanned by a single mirrored ceiling. On April 12, 1945, the parish church was shelled with phosphorus grenades. Only the annealed walls of the ship and the choir with the high altar remained. During the reconstruction, it was decided to relieve the old masonry in favor of an iron construction, the supports of which form the core for the current slender pillars.

        The patronage "Maria (or in other spelling: Assumption of Mary") of this church in Aub refers to one of the many days of commemoration 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.
