St. Felizitas, Parish church in Bobingen, Germany.
St. Felizitas is a parish church in Bobingen that combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements with neobaroque features. The interior is defined by neobaroque altars, while the organ with 26 registers on two manuals represents modern craftsmanship.
The church was originally dedicated to Mary but received the name of Saint Felicitas in 973, with documented existence from at least 1090. After World War II, new bells were cast to replace losses from wartime melting.
The church displays a baroque nativity scene from the 18th century that appears each Christmas season, drawing visitors to admire its handcrafted figures. This seasonal tradition remains an important part of the parish's cultural life and draws families during the holidays.
The church is typically accessible during daytime hours, and visitors should respect quiet times during services. The parish office can provide information about visiting hours and current events happening in the community.
The five church bells were cast in 1949 to replace four older bells that were melted down during wartime. This bell assembly tells the story of loss and rebuilding after World War II.
