Great little church ruin, now with plenty of benches for a picnic.

The St. Severin ruins are located on the eastern slope of the Mauracher Mountain, an elevation in the municipality of Denzlingen in northern Breisgau. One of Denzlingen's first places of worship was probably located here 1,000 years ago. The ruin bears the year 1497 on the Gothic door arch. Already in the Middle Ages one often heard the name of the "eclesia in Muron" or "eclesia in Gloter", church in Maurach" or in the parish of Glotter. However, the patronage was first mentioned in 1488, when the church of St. Serverin was called "S. Severini in Murach" is mentioned in writing. A relief plate made of red sandstone, which depicts St. Severin as a bishop and was found within the church ruins, is now in the Catholic Jakobuskirche in Denzlingen.

Until the Reformation, pilgrimages took place regularly on the Mauracher Mountain. The Reformation, which was carried out in the towns of the Margraves of Baden in 1556, ended the pilgrimages and processions. 1575 It is mentioned that the margrave, after accepting the change of religion, banned pilgrimages to the chapel on the Mauracherberg and closed the little church. However, this probably did not stop many believers from continuing to pray in St. Severin, as the inscriptions on the relief panel from 1771 show. Today only a very dilapidated ruin remains of the old pilgrimage center on the Mauracher Berg, which was once the mother church of the Glottertal.

The church was built in 1497. Archaeological excavations between 2011 and 2015 have shown that there was a parish church here before 1497.
