December 29, 2025, St. Afra Church, Obernheim

The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Afra stands in Obernheim, a municipality in the Zollernalb district of Baden-Württemberg. The parish belongs to the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart. The building is listed as a historical monument by the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments in Baden-Württemberg. The hall church, originally built between 1753 and 1755 according to plans by Johann Caspar Bagnato, was incorporated into a new building in 1924 as a transept, based on a design by Wilhelm Friedrich Laur. The former nave, spanned by a barrel vault, and the chancel are decorated with frescoes by Giuseppe Appiani. The Assumption of Mary is depicted in the nave, and the Trinity in the chancel. Four Church Fathers are depicted on the pulpit parapet, and Saint Wendelin on the sounding board. The organ on the gallery was built in 1973 as Opus 149 by Stehle Orgelbau.

The Bära is the main watercourse of the Hohe Schwabenalb sub-natural area of the Swabian Alb[1] in the Baden-Württemberg districts of Zollernalbkreis and Tuttlingen and finally flows into the Danube on the Baaralb near Fridingen from the left and from the northwest to the north.

Up to 1507 Obernheim was parish in the church of Nusplingen. There was only one chaplaincy on site. Due to the legacy of Katharina Urachin nee Sutter in 1484, who donated her farm with fields in Obernheim for an eternal mass after her death, it was possible to make the previously undoped chaplaincy independent. This wish of the deceased was probably granted on the occasion of their death in 1507 by the episcopal side. At that time the insignificant town of Obernheim owned a small church with a tower, on the foundation walls of which today's church tower is built. The original church tower was raised after 1792 and a high pitched roof was added in 1899, thus reaching the stately height of 54 m. This structure, which has been attached transversely to the previous nave, made it possible to transform the previous main building into a spacious choir room. The high altar was housed in a small choir annex. In this way, the baroque gem of Bagnato was preserved. Over the course of the last century, the church has been repeatedly adapted to the requirements of the liturgy through restorations and structural renovations and has been preserved as a monument. The last interior renovation took place on the church jubilee in 2007. Two nativity scenes are set up during the Christmas season: The older one was carved around 1914 and restored a few years ago. Every year on Thanksgiving, a large carpet made of basic foodstuffs, which predominantly comes from local nature, is laid out in the aisle. With great attention to detail, Christian motifs are presented as works of art that are well worth seeing. Source: https://se-heuberg.drs.de/kirchengemeinden/st-afra-obernheim/kirchengeschichte.html
