St. Martin's Catholic Church (Bad Ems)

it really is a great church

Saint Martin, to whom the Bad Ems church is consecrated, is - next to Saint Nicholas - 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 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”.

the Catholic Church of St. Martins is a neo-Gothic church that was built between 1866-1882. A great building and absolutely worth seeing!
