Beautiful town center in Worbis

The church was built between 1681 and 1685, according to the plans of the Italian architect Antonio Petrini, on the foundations of a previous church and a pagan sacrificial site. The interior of the church was decorated in 1692, with particular attention being given to the ceiling painting, which is a listed building. The residents of the town acquired a new organ in 1708, which was completely replaced in 1875 due to errors during repairs. Source: Kirche - Worbis.de

From the Osterkuppe you have a wonderful view of Breitenworbis and the Eichsfeld basin.

Delicious homemade cakes and tarts, handmade ice cream and delicious coffee specialties are a tasty temptation. A lovingly restored half-timbered house invites you to relax.

Very tasty, fair prices

Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, to whom the church in Worbis is dedicated, is - alongside Saint Martin - one of the most popular saints of all. Pretty much every child in Germany - and far beyond - knows his memorial day, December 6th. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots - which had of course been carefully polished - in front of the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to put out a small gift of food for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).

The church in Worbis was dedicated to the two saints Peter and Paul (Peter and Paul), also known as the "prince of the apostles". Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th. * Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men" together with his brother Andrew. According to Catholic understanding, he is the highest apostle, and the two thousand year long line of popes - currently Francis - are his successors. In statues and paintings, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and was not called to the apostleship of Jesus Christ during his lifetime like the other apostles, but was only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience". His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. According to the Roman law of the time, such a sentence was a "privilege" (quick death and not, like other types of execution, associated with a long, painful death struggle) that was available to the citizens of Rome.

A beautiful town hall. The half-timbered house is very interesting.
