    At the beginning of the 20th century she welcomed the young pastor Albert Schweitzer, who worked there as vicar until his departure for Lambarene in 1913.

    On April 11, 1908, he blessed the marriage of Theodor Heuss, the future President of the Federal Republic of Germany, to the journalist Elly Knapp.

    He also plays the organ there, on which he interprets numerous works by Johann Sebastian Bach.
