Martin's church

Metzingen’s Martin‘s church was built around 1500 as late gothic hall church with three naves and choir. Its predecessors can be traced back by name to what is probably the oldest church in the Ermstal.

The tower with its gallery and pointed helmet was completed by master builder Heinrich Schickhardt in 1613. At that time, the local dignitaries had their crest placed above the tower portal. As a fortified church, it was surrounded by a fortified wall.

In 1831 the greater part of it was removed as a traffic obstacle. A last remnant of the wall has been preserved on the north side of the church.

The relief of St. Martin above the entrance portal is now inside the church.
Some splendid epitaphs bear witness to the fact that the area within the defense wall, today's Martinskirchplatz, once served as a cemetery.

The interior was thoroughly renovated from 1963 to 1964 with the installation of a new organ in 1979.

The ascent of the 57-meter high church tower is a very special experience. This is possible as part of a guided city tours or by arrangement with the Protestant parish office of the Martin's church.
