Katharinenkirche (Stadtkirche)

St. Catherine´s church was built in 1360 and consecrated in 1365. The church is a perfectly preserved example of the high Gothic style. The "Kupferschmied-Altar" (coppersmith´s altar) is a gem. The winged altarpiece, created between 1513 and 1515, is the only one to survive in the region and is recognized as one of the early masterpieces of that period. The church was restored in 1950 and is now used as a war memorial. A carillon, placed inside the former fire watch room of the tower, is rung daily at 11.00 a.m. and 05.00 p.m., in memory of the fallen of the Second World War.

Masses:
Wednesday & Friday 08.30 a.m.
