Balingen Cemetery Church Along the Eyach River, through the small town garden, it's not far to the town's oldest building. The lower parts of the bell tower (11th century) date back to the church in the village of Balignga. It is one of the few Romanesque monuments in Swabia. The choir and nave, with their beautiful Gothic tracery windows, date back to the 14th century. The cemetery church is part of Balingen's Historical Town Tour. With the "Balingen Historical Town Tour" flyer, you can explore Balingen's eventful history on your own. The respective histories of buildings, monuments, bridges, and squares will immerse you in days long gone. Source: https://www.zollernalb.com/attraktionen/friedhofskirche-balingen-3c90b88a19

The Cemetery Church was built in the 11th century and was originally the parish church of the village, later the town of Balingen. It is thus one of the oldest churches in southern Germany. The old Church of Our Lady was first mentioned in 1255. In addition to the main altar, it had additional side altars, which were donated in the 14th and 15th centuries and transferred to the new town church after its construction. It remained Balingen's parish church until the St. Nicholas and Our Lady Chapels were elevated to the status of town church in 1516, which is now known as the Church of Our Lady. Parts of the tower and nave of the Romanesque predecessor building have been preserved. At the end of the 12th century, the nave belonging to the tower appears to have been demolished and replaced by a late Romanesque nave. In the 14th century, this church was also demolished, and the one that still stands today was built. The Cemetery Church was renovated in 1912. This uncovered frescoes that the Sebastian Brotherhood had commissioned to be installed in the church's choir, including a scene from the martyrdom of Sebastian. On the opposite choir wall, Saint Christopher (c. 1350) is depicted. He was considered a helper in times of need, protecting against dangers such as fire, water, storms, and dangerous illnesses. The church features a large octagonal baptismal font with remnants of late Gothic painting (14th century). On the inner west wall is the gravestone of Elisabeth von Ow (1458). Several works in the church's interior are attributed to the Balingen sculptor Simon Schweizer, including the stone epitaph of Maria Magdelin von Tierberg (1597), a wooden sculpture of John the Baptist, the wooden epitaph of the high bailiff Petter Schör von Schwarzenburg (1603), and the oldest and most valuable tombstone on the south façade of the cemetery church, for the son of Pfeffer, a Balbier resident and surgeon. A flood mark on the west facade and a granite obelisk near the church commemorate the catastrophic flood of 1895, which, with the force of its waters, tore through the cemetery wall and claimed the lives of 41 people in Balingen and the surrounding area.
