St. Paulus

St. Paulus is a church in Wilhelmsthal built with limestone and local volcanic stone, featuring traditional brick masonry. The building combines regional Upper Bavarian construction methods with classic ecclesiastical design from its time.

The church suffered severe bomb damage in 1944 during World War II, destroying its original high altar. The rebuilding process became a key part of the building's story and its role in the community afterward.

The church serves the local Catholic community as a place for worship and gatherings throughout the year. Regular services and celebrations connect residents to their faith and to each other within this space.

The church is open during regular service times on weekdays for visitors to enter. It is helpful to check the exact times in advance to plan a good moment for your visit.

The high altar destroyed in 1944 was redesigned after the war and reflects the spirit of rebuilding. This newer version tells a different story than the original, making the church a testament to loss and renewal.
