... the Catholic "St. Mary's Parish Church" in Schramberg, Rottweil district, Baden-Württemberg.

- Late Neoclassical style
- Built between 1838 and 1844 in the immediate vicinity of the former St. Nicholas Church
- According to the plans of building inspector Carl Christian Nieffer (student of the architect/court master builder Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret)

For those interested:
- The former St. Nicholas Church was demolished in 1972
- Only the spire of St. Nicholas Church, dating from 1716, survived
- The "old" church tower and St. Mary's Church are "connected" across the churchyard

- The portals date from 1957 and were designed by the sculptor Erich Hauser and made of artificial sheet metal

Church renovation 1993/1994:
- In 1993/1994, Erich Hauser redesigned the interior of St. Mary's Church Among other things, the cross in the altar area/apse, as well as the ambo and candlesticks, date from this period.
- The cross is 8 meters high and a steel sculpture.
- It forms the visual highlight of the apse.

- The bricked-up choir windows have been reopened, allowing much more light into the church through the two round-arched windows and the semicircular window above.
- The organ was built by the organ builder "Eberhard Friedrich Walcker" from Ludwigsburg (Baden-Württemberg) in 1844.
- Three-manual organ with 36 stops.
