St.-Nikolaus-Kapelle
St.-Nikolaus-Kapelle stands in Germany as a Romanesque chapel with a sturdy tower and a later baroque onion dome. Its single nave ends in a rounded apse.
Boatmen, rafters, and fishermen built the chapel in the twelfth century beside their river-bound lives. A first written mention dates to 1228. A medieval cemetery once surrounded the building, while twelve grave tablets from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries now line its inner walls. Inside, the high altar from around 1670 centres on a painting of Saint Nicholas dating to about 1630. A small wooden Madonna from the early sixteenth century stands above it, with side altars showing the Madonna, Saint John Nepomuk, Christ in repose, and Saint Sebastian.
Since 2015, the Serbian Orthodox community has also used this space for worship and ceremonies. Masses, blessings, weddings, and baptisms continue beneath the layered architecture. The twelve grave tablets remain the clearest trace of the vanished cemetery.
