Mountain biking

The church was completed on April 25, 1382, as a Gothic-style basilica. The Corporis Christi (Body of Christ) brotherhood had it built on the foundations of a dilapidated Romanesque structure. For a long time, the Upper Church dominated the image of Frankenhausen more than the town's other churches. The oldest part of the nave was constructed as a vaulted structure with a multi-aisled nave. Pointed Gothic windows and doors adorned the building. The tower originally had a pointed roof with four small side towers. In its heyday, the Upper Church boasted numerous altars and a high income.

Mountain biking

Due to gypsum and salt leaching in the underlying soil, the spire of the approximately 56 m high church tower, which features a baroque dome with two lanterns, is tilted by 4.60 m (= 4.93°) from the vertical (as of 2013).[1][2][3] This makes the tower one of the most crooked towers in Germany. Measured by the overhang (the deviation of the spire from the vertical), it has the highest value of all German towers. It is more tilted than the Leaning Tower of Pisa, which had a tilt of 3.97° in 2011.[4]
