Linden - St.-Peters

The exact age of the St.-Peters Church in Linden (about 6kms south of Giessen) is unknown. The church is placed on a once strongly fortified hill, mentioned in the Lorsch codex. A smaller Carolingian chapel had been here already as early as 810/820, foundations of this chapel have been found during a restauration. The church seen here was probably erected within the 12th century.

The romanesque baptismal font has been moved in front of the church. From this point of view, the outstanding feature of St. Peters is already visible - a sculptured portal.
