Rottenburg Cathedral

The Jakobuskirche, also called Spitalkirche, is a Romanesque church first mentioned in 1377, built around 1200 as a Romanesque chapel. It was rebuilt in its present form from 1500. After the secularisation of 1806, the church was used by both Catholics and Protestants, but from the 1870s onwards, it became a purely Protestant church again. The relatively dark neo-Gothic windows in the chancel were replaced in 1975 by much brighter windows decorated with roses, designed by Gisela Dreher-Richels.

The Catholic parish church of St. John the Evangelist in Tübingen was built between 1875 and 1878 by the court architect Joseph von Egle in the neo-Gothic style. After the Second World War, the dark interior and the neo-Gothic furnishings no longer corresponded to contemporary taste and liturgical needs. For this reason, a concept for the renovation of the church was drawn up in 1959, which was implemented from 1961 to 1964. The complete sculpture of the tympanum and the door reliefs were designed by Toni Schneider-Manzell. The interior was freed of all ornamentation and brightened up with colours and higher choir windows.

The Balingen Cemetery Church was built in the 11th century and was originally the parish church of the village. In the 14th century, the church was demolished and the church that still exists today was built. Parts of the previous Romanesque building have been preserved in the tower and the nave. In 1912 the cemetery church was renovated. It revealed frescoes that the Brotherhood of San Sebastian had painted in the choir of the church.
