Jakobuskirche
Jakobuskirche stands in Ulm-Grimmelfingen as an evangelical church built around 1300. Its position on the Jakobsweg connects this local church with a pilgrimage route. The building became an independent evangelical church after the Reformation in 1535.
Around 1701, renovations enlarged the church and added the altar, pulpit, and gallery. Johann Roschmann made the altar, whose painting by Christoph Resch shows Christ at the Mount of Olives. Fragments of fifteenth-century choir frescoes depict scenes from the Passion of Jesus. Helmut Bornefeld designed the 1964 organ, which has two manuals and fifteen registers. Hermann Geyer’s 1993 stained-glass windows illustrate Jesus’s life along a path called Jakobusweg.
A baptismal font from around 1630 carries a pewter bowl made by Benedikt Pfeffer. Johann II Lebhardt’s 1701 pulpit displays carved acanthus ribs and fruit motifs. After the Thirty Years’ War, Sunthausen was abandoned, and its chapel joined Grimmelfingen.
