    "Today's Aalen City Church is probably the third building on this site in the heart of Aalen's old town. The first was an early Gothic chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas. When Aalen became an Imperial City in 1360, this chapel had already been replaced by the parish church of St. Nicholas, first mentioned in 1340.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 completely new construction between 1765 and 1767. This resulted in one of the rare examples of a Protestant church interior in 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"?

      What is the point of the blurry view of a window display of a photo shop that is 500 meters away?

      At the moment, it is very difficult for all of us to remove all of these misleading images. You only get one bonus point per highlight, regardless of whether you add one or three matching images to the location, or whether you upload everything you have ever seen in the entire city. In any case, you are not helping fellow hikers, you are more likely to mislead them.

        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.
