Description

St. George's Collegiate Church is a late gothic structure built by Peter von Koblenz in 1470. The stained glass windows were designed by Peter Hemmel of Andlau. It is the central landmark and one of the first to convert to Martin Luther's protestant church. It maintains (and carefully defends) several 'Roman Catholic' features, such as patron saints.
