Cemetery

In the Middle Ages saw in the immediate vicinity of the Blessed Sacrament with the relics of an entitlement to the redemption of the dead at the resurrection. This effect also applied to the consecrated churchyard. Outside the cemetery and city walls were outcasts their place in unconsecrated ground. Through the Reformation that changed fundamentally. The believers relied on the saving Passion of the Lord for each one. Cemeteries were created mainly in Protestant dominions outside now.

This resulted in 1605 in front of the western gate of the churchyard with free-standing pulpit and arcade. This year and later necessary repairs are recorded in stone the pulpit. A similar system is also to be found in Main Bernheim, Wiesenbronn, Repperndorf, Marktsteft and Abtswind.
