St. Peter und Paul, Baroque church in Hochheim am Main, Germany.

St. Peter und Paul is a Baroque church with white and red exterior walls and an interior ceiling decorated with elaborate frescoes. The building displays typical late Baroque proportions and architectural details characteristic of early 18th century design.

The church was built between 1730 and 1732 by Mainz engineer Johann Farolsky, replacing an earlier religious structure. The new building reflected the prosperity and artistic vision of 18th century religious communities.

The church is the only late Baroque frescoed church in Hesse. Johann Baptist Enderle of Söflingen, active 1725–1798, painted the nave, high choir and both gallery parapets in 1775. The frescoes were long obscured by candle soot, dust and overpainting, and were restored between 1999 and 2005.

The building stands at Kirchstraße 27 and is easy to recognize from the street. Access to the interior may be limited to certain times, so checking opening hours in advance is helpful.

In 2006 the sculptor Rudolf J. Kaltenbach, born in Hochheim and an altar server at St. Peter und Paul for ten years as a boy, donated his roughly one-tonne sculpture Großer Rhythmus (2000) in Swedish black gabbro to the parish; it stands in the rose garden beside the church and its form can be read as a sign of infinity.
