Hirsau Church, church building in Offenbach-Hundheim, Germany

Hirsau Church is a church building in Offenbach-Hundheim situated in an enclosed graveyard on elevated land along the Glan River. The structure combines Romanesque building elements with Gothic additions and houses painted walls with religious scenes inside, along with ancient tombstones and Roman stones.

Construction of the church began in the early 1100s, with written records dating from 1289 and some parts possibly originating from the 7th century. Over the centuries windows were added, a side room was built, and it was rebuilt in 1894 following the Thirty Years War.

The name Hirsauer Kirche comes from the hamlet of Hirsau by the Glan. In the Middle Ages it was the parish church of the Eßweiler Tal, serving nine villages including Hundheim and Hinzweiler. Today it is a Protestant parish church of the Hinzweiler parish, and the walled churchyard with its 15th-century pointed-arch gate surrounds it.

The church is located at Hirsauer Straße 38 in Offenbach-Hundheim and is typically accessible, especially during local events or festivals. It is advisable to contact the local parish office to learn visiting hours or to arrange special visits.

The chancel murals were uncovered in 1963/64, not during a general 20th-century renovation. The ceiling is split into four sectors by the cross-ribbed vault: Christ in a mandorla to the east, the Coronation of Mary to the west, apostles in the other two. The walls show the Last Judgement, Cain and Abel, scenes of Mary's life and the Passion. They had been whitewashed over since the 14th century.
