St. Martin's Church, Biberach

The interior of St. Martin's Church features high ceilings with painted figures, twisted columns, gilded ornaments, and decorative altars throughout the sacred space.

Construction began in 1337, and in 1548 Charles V mandated both Catholic and Protestant services, making it Germany's first shared church arrangement.

The church serves different religious groups through a formal schedule, with Catholics using the choir area and Protestants conducting services in the larger nave.

Visitors can explore the church's architectural elements through guided tours that explain the religious artwork and structural features dating from various periods.

A double-faced clock positioned between the choir and nave allows both Catholic and Protestant congregations to track time during their respective services.
