Laurentiuskirche

Hemmingen has been owned by Württemberg since 1308. Wuerttemberg and the respective fiefdom holder of one half of the town exercise the church patronage jointly (Compatroni). Until 1918/19 they alternately appoint the pastors of the Laurentius Church, i.e. a "Württemberg" pastor is followed by a feudal pastor.

Saint Lawrence, to whom this church in Hemmingen is consecrated, is one of the early Christian martyrs from a time when Christianity was still forbidden. He was archdeacon of the Pope and had been asked by the pagan emperor to hand over the treasure to the church. Laurentius asked for three days, but distributed the church property among the poor inhabitants of Rome and after the agreed time came with the poor to the emperor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. Thereupon he was tortured to death, legend has it that he was alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of St. Lawrence - roasted over coals. He is said to have been of good cheer and told his executioner, on the one hand, whether he would not turn it around.
The feast day of Saint Lawrence in the saints calendar is August 10th.

The entire area around the church, including the entire castle park, should be a must-see for any hiker, visitor, or just passing through.
