St. Jakobus

St. Jakobus is a church building on Hohenberg hill featuring 17 high windows, six side aisle windows, and two large transept windows with a rose window. The interior contains religious artworks and maintains spaces for both worship and special gatherings.

The church appears in documents from 1332 and 1489, showing its role as a center of religious life in the area. These early records, including indulgence letters, show how long people valued this place.

The interior houses an altarpiece created by Sieger Köder, an artist who also served as parish priest here and filled the space with his own religious works during his time.

The church holds regular services and has space for concerts, while also serving as a stop on a pilgrimage route from Würzburg. Its location on the hilltop makes it a natural place to visit while exploring the area.

A Lourdes grotto built into the northern slope contains glass particles from the local glass factory, blending industrial heritage with this sacred place. A Stations of the Cross path, consecrated in 1883, guides visitors through the landscape.
