The St. Magdalenen is a Roman Catholic former monastery church from 1224.
The most important piece of equipment in the Magdalenenkirche is the late Gothic passion altar in the high choir, which is called the Elffenaltar. This winged altar was made from linden wood around 1515 and depicts scenes from the Passion of Christ with many figures and dramatically. Following the example of Tilman Riemenschneider, the artist achieved the desired expressiveness without colored painting simply by working the wood. The elf altar is counted among the best works of its kind.
