Dreifaltigkeit Church Sankt Johannes Baptis

The Trinity Church of the former Franciscan monastery bore the patronage of Saint John the Baptist. It was built as a simple mendicant order church in the middle of the 13th century and completed in 1253; the vaults were installed in the second half of the 14th century. The church was used by the united (German-French) congregation from 1694 until it had to be abandoned in 1774 due to dilapidation. It was not until 1846/1865 that it was restored or rebuilt to such an extent that the Reformed Church could use it again. The monastery of the Franciscans or Barefoot Friars was founded between 1240 and 1250; it was called "Grey Monastery" because of the color of the brothers' habit. Between 1536 and 1543 it was secularized and granted as a fief to a knight. The buildings were demolished in 1735 without leaving any traces.
