Martinskirche

The Martinskirche features three naves divided by stone columns, covered with wooden structures and decorated with Renaissance memorial tablets.

The original wooden structure from the 7th century was replaced by a Romanesque basilica in 1220, then rebuilt as a Gothic hall church in the 15th century.

The church's keystones display artistic representations of Saint Martin, a Christ figure, the city coat of arms, and four figures from Old Württemberg.

The church contains seven bells, with the largest Dominica bell measuring 154 centimeters in diameter, cast after the city fire of 1691.

The pulpit, created by Hans Jakob and Hans Jörg Knöpfle from Stuttgart in 1690, exhibits relief sculptures of the Evangelists and Christ's Ascension.
