The church has become a symbol of the area. The tower, which is over 60 m high, tells of the importance of the place, which once had city rights. The three-aisled church was built within a short period of time between 1431 and around 1475. Its founders were the last Count of Veldenz and his son-in-law, who established a new line of the Wittelsbach family with the Simmern-Zweibrücken family. The founding plaque (two angels with chalices) placed prominently above the entrance is also a reminder of the pilgrimage to the Holy Blood that…

Favourably positioned on the outskirts of the town and thus dominating the silhouette and landscape from afar, it is an outstanding example of late 19th century church architecture. Built in 1888 in neo-Romanesque style after a construction period of just under two years, the parish church deliberately echoes the spirit of the time. Significantly, the inscriptions on the first bells proclaimed the sacred patriotic slogans of the last…

The building substance of the property largely dates back to the mid-19th century. Typical for the locality, the residential building features a solid masonry ground floor and a half-timbered upper floor. This house included six living spaces.

The builder at that time was the municipal tax collector Nikolaus Kloos. In 1849, he succeeded the democratically minded mayor Johann Heinrich Klippel in office as…
