Saint Martin, to whom this church in Bad Orb is dedicated, is probably one of the most popular saints of all, along with Saint Nicholas. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is on November 11th. On the night after the famous "dividing of the cloak", when he leaves 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 are likely to have fond childhood memories of making lanterns in kindergarten and elementary school, the evening lantern procession through the dark village / district - and of course the delicious "Weckmann".

First mentioned in 1064 as a Romanesque castle chapel. Built between 1335 and 1440 as a Gothic, three-aisled church. 1978 expanded to 5 ships. Burned down in 1983. New building, partly reconstruction, partly redesign.

A great church, unfortunately burnt down at Christmas 1983 but very nicely rebuilt.
