    The church in Rickenbach
    Emil Wachter (1921-2012), studied theologian, painter and sculptor, designed the interior of this church in the 80s. Among other things with a filling painting on the large choir back wall. In the basic colors red, gold and blue, Wachter draws a connection from the Old Testament to the cross with Christ, depicted as a lamb.


    In the windows, Wachter chased the original, narrative intent of the depiction, based on village conditions, with a look towards the Old Testament, expressed in a frenzy of colors and in a memorable, sometimes astonishing drawing.

    The parish church is one of the most important sacred works of art in southwest Germany, not least because of its unique stained glass windows and the modern choir painting by Prof. Emil Wachter. He was known for inventing his own visual language for biblical stories with his stained glass windows.
