St Elizabeth Church

The development of the new "Leimenkaut" residential area ended a decades-long provisional arrangement for Catholics in Ober-Eschbach, which was incorporated in 1972. The influx of mostly Catholic refugees and ethnic German immigrants had led to the founding of the parish in 1946. In 1964, the emergency chapel of St Elizabeth was built, but it could only accommodate approximately 100 worshippers. In 2004, the bell tower of St Elizabeth's Church received four bells, which tolled for the first time at a patron saints' festival.
