Beautiful old things to admire

The so-called Bear Ponds are fish ponds managed by the Ottersheim Angling Club. They are located in a nature reserve. At the southeastern corner of the lower pond, there is a fish sculpture commemorating Jean Benz, a prominent figure in the angling community. A beautiful covered rest area, the "Jean Benz Park," with two benches and a table, has recently been created at the northeastern corner of the lake, along the Queich Valley Cycle Path. It's a wonderful place to unwind... especially on mild evenings when the sun sets in the west and you can gaze out over the ponds.

The "Bärenruh," also commonly known as "Rentnereck," has been shining in its new splendor since March 2022. From here, one has a good view for observing the storks in the wetlands during the watering days in May and July. Wooden benches with a table and a shelter offer walkers, cyclists, and hikers a beautiful resting place right on the edge of the forest in Ottersheim.

The Brühlgraben is part of an artificial network of ditches and canals that crisscrosses the Rhine plain. It was formerly essential for supplying the village with water, but was also repurposed and fortified by the French as part of their defensive line during the War of the Austrian Succession (18th century). As part of village renewal efforts, the Brühlgraben was redesigned as a green park path in the 2000s.

St. Martin's Church (St. Martinus) Several predecessor buildings existed on the site of the current church. The present church was built in 1618 as a five-bay hall church. At that time, it was a Reformed church. It has been Catholic since 1626. The nave and chancel were renovated between 1685 and 1689. The current church tower was also built during this period. In 1789, the church was extended with the addition of the northern sacristy. The former sandstone cemetery cross, dated 1747 and featuring a depiction of Adam and Eve, dates from around this time. The southern sacristy was built in 1910. The church was also renovated and repainted by Otto Fußhöller between 1908 and 1912. The high altar and the ambo date from 1961. A further extensive restoration took place from 1997 to 2010. During this restoration, the 19th-century murals were reconstructed and the chancel was redesigned. Restored baptismal font, dated 1629.
