Guided Story
Imagine yourself standing before a building first mentioned as a pilgrimage church in 1285. The Petruskirche in Obertürkheim is a testament to history. As a Protestant church, it is part of the Obertürkheim-Uhlbach congregation within the Evangelical Church in Württemberg. Look up at the walls that have stood for so many years and think of the generations who have celebrated their faith here. If you glance to the east, you'll notice the Max Helfer monument, just 94 meters away. This building is not only a place of worship but also a cultural heritage monument protected by the Baden-Württemberg Monuments Office. A place rich with history and significance, right in the heart of Obertürkheim.
