St. Peter und Paul, Catholic church in Grießen, Klettgau, Germany

St. Peter and Paul is the Roman Catholic parish church of Grießen, built in Neo-Gothic style to plans by Otto Belzer. Its exterior is dominated by a 59-metre tower with a pointed spire; inside, tall stone pillars carry pointed arches and ribbed vaults, with green floral motifs painted along the ribs. A pipe organ with silver pipes stands on the gallery above the rear.

The previous church of 1683 had become too small by the late 19th century, so the parish demolished it in 1900 and built the present church on the same site, keeping the two lower storeys of the old tower. The foundation stone was laid on 29 June 1900, the church was occupied at the end of 1901, and Auxiliary Bishop Friedrich Justus Knecht consecrated it on 20 September 1904.

The church is dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, and the parish belongs to the Seelsorgeeinheit Klettgau-Wutöschingen in the Archdiocese of Freiburg. The apostle figures in the interior were carved around 1720 by Anton Joseph Schupp and probably come from the 1683 predecessor church, so older sculpture survives inside the neo-Gothic building.

St. Peter und Paul stands in Grießen, part of the Klettgau municipality in the Waldshut district, and belongs to the Klettgau-Wutöschingen pastoral unit of the Archdiocese of Freiburg. The 59-metre tower with its pointed spire makes the church easy to find from the village. Visitors enter the nave beneath the organ gallery at the rear; the choir windows by Hans Drinneberg of Karlsruhe (1901) are at the far end.

The church keeps its near-original neo-Gothic interior, and among the carved figures are the apostle statues made around 1720 by Anton Joseph Schupp, which came from the 1683 predecessor church. The stained-glass windows in the choir were made in 1901 by glass painter Hans Drinneberg of Karlsruhe.
