    Tips

    October 3, 2024

    In the 8th century, the "cella", or dwelling, of a hermit was located on the site of the tower of today's Melanchthon Church, i.e. where the choir is today. It was probably used as a chapel by the inhabitants of Rohrbach and was enlarged to become a church in the middle of the 14th century by adding a nave to the west, replacing the round-arched entrance in the east with a pointed-arch window and adding a door to the north that is still visible today.

    In 1742, the roof was raised and the nave was extended to the west and south, which is why the central axis no longer points to the middle of the choir.

      The windows in the church are really worth seeing and depict 20 people, including Martin Luther
