Protestant Church

General Information:

The Protestant Church was erected here on the site of a former church that was burned down during the Mühlburg War in 1424. The late-Gothic choir was built in 1492 by the Freiburger cathedral master builder Hans Niesenberger and his son.

The nave was constructed in 1815 and expanded by two polygone tracts in the years 1903-05. The neo-Gothic crucifix hangs under the choir arch inside the church.

On the right side of the choir stands a statue of the Margrave Karl II, which originated from the Hochburg Castle. Among the memorial grave plaques in the choir are also memorial markers for members of the ruling house of Baden.

The walled church courtyard served until the end of the 16th century as a cemetery for the citizens of Emmendingen. In addition, the church was connected to the neighboring Margrave Castle by a covered walkway which was torn down in the early 19th century.
