St. Martin's Church Eberdingen

The choir of St. Martin's Church is a late Gothic room. The vault of the choir rests on eight consoles with artistically designed busts of the apostles, which show a relationship to the cycle of apostles in the Marienkapelle of the Hirsau monastery. They are attributed to the workshop of Christoph von Urach.

The church in Eberdingen gives a good picture from all sides

Saint Martin, to whom the church in Eberdingen 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 then converted to Christianity and was later - initially against his will - elected Bishop of Tours (France).
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”.
