Nativity of the Virgin, Jettenhausen / Mariae Geburt, Jettenhausen

The churh was hit in WWII and the form in which it got renovated reflects a state from 1468 mostly. But it was there at least in 1250. 1260 Henry of Loewental bestowed it onto the teutonic order, after saecularistion it was a parish church again, finally in 1960 the parish built a bigger modern church and made it the funeral chapel of the surrounding graveyard. They lock it, so I never saw the inside. / Die Kirche wurde im zweiten Weltkrieg von einer Bombe schwer beschaedigt und der Wiederaufbau wurde nach einem Bild oder Plan ausgefuehrt, welches das Aussehen um 1468 reflektiert. Es gab sie allerdings schon seit mindestens 1250. Heinrich von Loewental liess damals was daran richten und 10 Jahre spaeter schenkte er sie dem Deutschorden. Seit der Saekularisation war sie wieder eine normale Pfarrkirche, aber schliesslich baute die Gemeinde 1960 eine groessere moderne Pfarrkirche und sie wurde zur Aussegnungskapelle fuer den Friedhof. Die ist offenbar immer verschlossen, ich war noch nie drinnen.

This started life in early romanesque, either as secular defense or a church belltower, somewhen in the dark ages before the first written proof of it's existence, when there where no mechanic clocks. Frankly, I think it could look a lot worse, but very fond of that smal red button for a clock below a buch bigger sound hole I am not.
