    "Today's Aalen City Church is probably the third building on this site in the heart of Aalen's old town. The first structure was an early Gothic chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas. By the time Aalen became a Free Imperial City in 1360, this chapel had already been replaced by the parish church of St. Nicholas, first mentioned in 1340. [...]

    The collapse of the tower necessitated a complete reconstruction between 1765 and 1767. This resulted in one of the rare examples of a Protestant church interior in the Baroque style."

    An urgent and special request goes out to the user TOBIAS today:

    Please ensure that image and location content match each other in the future. !!!

    Your posts and photos - all well and good. But what is really annoying, really annoying, is the fact that as soon as you discover any highlight from the city of Aalen, you add all the images of Aalen city center that you have available to you, whether they match the highlight or not!

    What does a shoe shop window have to do with the described highlight "Old Town Hall"?

    The heart of the Protestant parish of Aalen is the town church of St. Nicholas.

    The collapse of the tower at the end of the 18th century meant that a completely new building had to be built. This resulted in one of the rare examples of a Protestant church in the Baroque style.

    Since its inauguration on Easter night in 2009, a new Rieger organ has been playing in the town church.
