St. Blasius, Parish church in Ehingen, Germany
St. Blasius is a parish church in Ehingen situated on a plateau above the Schmiech river and surrounded by sturdy walls from a former cemetery. The building combines Romanesque foundations with later additions and features a typical layout with a choir and side aisles.
The church was founded in the 13th century, as shown by the oldest parts of the tower, and underwent major transformations in 1517 and 1738. These periods reflect changing needs and styles within the community over the centuries.
The space serves as the spiritual center of Ehingen and draws local residents for worship and community observances. People gather here to mark important life moments and maintain their faith traditions within the town.
The site is wheelchair accessible and regularly used for worship services and community events. Visitors should be aware that religious ceremonies take place, so the church may not be open to tourists at certain times.
The altar is adorned by a ceiling fresco depicting the Last Supper created by artist Joseph Ignaz Appiani. Another decorative treasure is the baptismal font from 1515 located in one of the side chapels.
