Ehemalige Stadtkirche

This late-Gothic simultaneous church is a two-naved structure whose interior is divided by a wall into a Catholic and a Protestant section — an unusual arrangement rooted in the confessional conflicts of the Reformation era. Simultaneum regulations, by which two denominations share a single church building, were typically imposed by princely decree following the Thirty Years' War. Listed as a protected cultural monument, the building offers a rare architectural record of enforced rather than voluntary ecumenism.
