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 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.

Hiking

The parish church of St. Mary's Assumption impresses with its bright, spacious interior, even though it is smaller than its predecessor, the Auber Minster.

The chancel, with its magnificent Baroque high altar, survived the damage of the Second World War unscathed.

An exceptional highlight is the Crucifixion group by Tilman Riemenschneider from 1510. It is located on the left side as you enter from the main entrance. It is worth turning on the lighting.
