Collegiate Church of the Assumption of Mary Obermedlingen

Highlight • Religious Site

The Obermedlingen collegiate church is a real surprise.
In 1700 the foundation stone for the new construction of the monastery and today's collegiate church was laid. The furnishings are kept in an elegant early baroque white, to which the altars, confessionals, rows of seats, the choir stalls, the organ and the pulpit made of dark brown wood create a harmonious contrast. The inlay work is extremely noteworthy.
The wooden pulpit in the Baroque style has a polygonal pulpit over an inverted cone, which is carried by two putti. Its surfaces are structured by angel caryatids with flower chains and are covered with pushed-on fillings.

Unteres Tor, Gundelfingen

Highlight • Monument

The lower gate is 35m high and was part of the city wall.
What is also interesting here, the number of storks, you can see a breeding pair on almost every roof in April.

Schimmelturm, Lauingen

Highlight • Monument

With its 54 meters it cannot be overlooked. Whoever wants to go up pays an entrance fee of two euros. The door is locked. You can get the key in the town hall or in the Hotel Lodner. Here you also pay the entrance fee. From above you have a great view of the region.

Schimmelturm and the Town Hall, Lauingen

Highlight • Historical Site

The tower on the market square is called the Schimmelturm. If you want to climb it, you have to get the key from the restaurant/hotel Lodner (“Drei Mohren”). The view is spectacular.
