Smoke crib in the Church of St. Martin Meßkirch

With the nativity scene that Robert Rauch created for the church of Meßkirch after World War II, St. Martin possesses an extraordinary work of art, according to the announcement text. The monumental nativity scene was crafted by the artist from Mimmenhausen in 1951 for the left side altar. Standing four meters tall, the nativity structure rises up to the pulpit. The ensemble of the nativity includes 19 expressive large figures. Those interested in the background of the Rauch nativity scene in St. Martin Meßkirch can learn more during a guided tour on Epiphany, Monday, January 6, at 2:30 PM. The nativity scene will be compared to other Christmas representations in the church. The tour costs three euros per person, and children up to and including 14 years are free. The tour lasts about an hour.
