Guided tour of Lauffen "St. Martin's Church"

Guided tour of St. Martin’s Church in the “Städtle.” Cost: €6. Today’s Protestant St. Martin’s Church in the “Lauffener Städtle” on the right bank of the Neckar was originally built around 1200 as St. Nicholas Chapel—at the same time the “Städtle” was founded. After the Reformation (1517), the church fell into disrepair until, following a renovation in 1884, it was consecrated as St. Martin’s Church and given new life. **A Church Tells Its Story ** Under this motto, retired pastor Gerhard Kuppler recounts the history of Lauffen’s St. Martin’s Church, located in the “Städtle” at the Heilbronn Gate. It was built as a place of worship for the newly founded town of Lauffen in the 13th century and stands as a powerful testament to the inseparable intertwining of religion—that is, of hopes and fears, money, art, and power. Unique frescoes spanning two centuries adorn the choir. **Further Information:** - Meeting point: St. Martin’s Church, Heilbronner Straße, 74348 Lauffen - Duration: 1 hour - Cost: €6 per person - Info: Retired Pastor Gerhard Kuppler, Lauffen Tel. 07133 9296760 [kuppler.gerhard@web.de](mailto:kuppler.gerhard@web.de)
