St. Peter und Paul Kirche - Hofheim i.T. 🚴‍

For centuries, the tower of St. Peter and Paul towered over the city Hofheim am Taunus and has become a landmark. The church, now in Hofheim, has little in common with the original building in the second half of the 15th century. Known are the names of the two master builders Johann Schilburg and Johannes Bender. With the support of the lords of Falkenstein, a church was built, recognizable by its beautiful pointed vault as a Gothic building. The choir room is still standing today and is integrated as a aisle in the church. Until the year 2000 he was used as a baptistery. Also from the 15th century is the tower of the church. The pointed arched windows in the upper part are also Gothic.
Many of the pastors have been building the church, or at least making minor changes. From the early 16th century, for example, the figure of Christ comes from the Crucifixion group. It is considered the most valuable work of art of the church and is attributed to a student Riemenschneider. Also belonging to the Crucifixion figures of Mary and John are much younger date, were created only towards the end of the 19th century, although according to ancient models. The complete work is now housed in a showcase. Already in the 18th century the church was enlarged in the contemporary Baroque style. To give space to a growing community, the Mainz master builder Becker planned an extension in Neo-Baroque style about 80 years ago. In addition, the church tower, which until then had worn an octagonal spire, received a hooded helmet. As a liturgical place of great importance, the baptismal fountains were brought back into the direct field of vision of the worshiping community with the recent church renovation. The baptismal font is carried by four lions from the 13th century, probably the oldest pieces of the church.hofheim.de/tourismus/Sehenswertes_in_Hofheim/Pfarrkirche_St_Peter_und_Paul/index.php
