Kirche Unserer lieben Frau im Ostrachtal und St. Jodokus, Catholic church in Bad Oberdorf, Bad Hindelang, Germany.
Kirche Unserer lieben Frau im Ostrachtal und St. Jodokus is a Catholic church in Bad Oberdorf, Bad Hindelang, characterized by a steep gabled roof over the main nave and a lower pitched roof covering the southern side aisle. The building displays a clear architectural division between its primary and secondary spaces.
The building was constructed in 1937 following the demolition of the previous structure whose foundations had become unstable and suffered water damage. Architect Thomas Wechs designed the new structure to address these problems and create a stable space for worship.
The church houses religious artworks by renowned Renaissance masters that shape its interior character. A painting of the Madonna and Child by Hans Holbein the Elder and a carved altar by Jörg Lederer reflect the artistic tradition rooted in this place.
The church is located at Richard-Mahn-Straße 4 in Bad Hindelang and operates under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Augsburg. Visitors should note that the building serves active worship functions and opening hours may vary accordingly.
Each Palm Sunday, a life-sized Gothic statue of Christ on a donkey processes from Bad Oberdorf to Bad Hindelang until Holy Thursday. This procession represents a rare example of a medieval tradition that has been kept alive in this region.
