Saint Martin, to whom this church is consecrated, is - next to Saint Nicholas - probably one of the most popular saints of all. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is November 11th. On the night after the famous “coat sharing”, when he surrendered half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. He converted to Christianity and was later elected Bishop of Tours (France) - initially against his will.
Many should have fond childhood memories of lantern handicrafts in kindergarten and elementary school, the evening lantern parade through the dark village / district - and of course of the delicious “Weckmann”.

Particularly in the Aufenau church is the late Gothic winged altar, which was probably built in the last third of the 15th century, and the Ratzmann pipe organ from 1880. Source: katholische-Kirche-Bad-Orb.de
