A first tower substructure is already documented for the 13th century. From 1751 to 1766, almost all of the former church building - apart from the church tower - was demolished and today's Assumption Church was built in its present form, despite the adverse circumstances of the Seven Years' War. On the outer facade of the church (in the middle niche of the upper floor) are the sandstone figures of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and in the side fields the sandstone figures of Simon Peter (left) and St. Paul of Tarsus (right). The coat of arms of the then Prince-Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim is located above the arched portal of the church, which was built from local greenish sandstone. The former Gaden surrounding the church possibly stand on the foundations of a former fortification, which means that the predecessor church of today's Mariä-Assumption-Kirche would have been a fortified church. The epitaph of Pastor Johann Valentin Ament (1751-1778) is located in the immediate vicinity on the east side of the Gaden. (Wikipedia)
