St. Martin's Church

Saint Martin, to whom the Gomadinger church is dedicated, 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 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 - and of course the delicious "Weckmann".

Nice church at the highest point of the place. The last time I was there, there was an Easter egg exhibition.

The Protestant Martinskirche was built in the 18th century. In its current expansion, it has approx. 300 seats. A Martinskirche in Gomadingen was first mentioned around 1180. Your patron's name indicates a Franconian foundation. The original building was demolished in the 18th century and the church that exists today was built in 1760. It is surrounded by a cemetery. The church is located at the highest point of the place and the church area is enclosed with a wall.
