Heidenturmkirche St. Bonifatius

The Lutheran Church of St. Boniface is located on the outskirts of Alsheim, surrounded by an atmospheric cemetery park. It is the smallest of the four churches and can hardly be seen from the street. Surrounded by old trees and lovingly planted flowerbeds, it is only visible to those who dare to walk through the wrought-iron gate. The "Heidenturm" itself has recently been renovated and is open to the public all around. For a visit to the church itself, a key can be obtained from the rectory. The Alsheimer Heidenturmkirche is surrounded by a park-like cemetery area with old trees, whose gravestones can be dated back to the 19th century. It is a magical place, a place of silence and contemplation. A walk through the Alsheimer Friedhofpark is a visit to an enchanted world. The stone gravestones take up the formal language of the 19th century: Wreaths and bowls with flowers and fruits balance on gravestones, filigree tendrils of ivy, oak leaves and roses entwine steles in the shape of tree trunks, half-sunk crosses tell of the transience of time.
