St. Laurentius
St. Laurentius is a compact parish church enclosed by its cemetery in Germany. A relief of the Ölberg is set into the southern boundary wall, while the parish house and meeting rooms stand to the west.
Inside, frescoes painted by Franz Martin Kuen in 1752 show Saint Laurentius’s life, martyrdom and reception into heaven. Almost all the wall paintings survive, including the artist’s self-portrait, name and year incised into the plaster. A Madonna with Child and an apostle, attributed to an Ulm workshop linked with Nikolaus Weckmann and dated around 1520, add late medieval sculpture to the Baroque interior. Saint Ottilia has served as second patron since 1788, with her figure placed in a right-hand nave niche after a chapel was demolished.
Behind glass on the right side altar, the Schultheiß nativity has belonged to the parish since the 1930s and is assembled each year by parish volunteers.
