Church of Our Lady

At the site of the current church was previously built in the 11th century Ulrich church. The construction of the current three three-aisled late Gothic hall church was 1444 city architect Hans gag. The building material was made of brick. As in the 13th year a gangway collapsed, Hans gag had to give the Bauverantwortung to the Augsburg Ulrich Walther, who built the church and then. On December 4, 1467, after 23 years of construction, the church was inaugurated by the Bishop of Augsburg Jodok Seitz OPraem. In 1607 the church was colonized again. The tower of the Minster, which houses five bells, adorned a Gothic pointed helmet until 1732. However, he was destroyed twice by lightning strikes and today wears a boring helmet. Frescoes were discovered in 1938, probably from the time of construction. During the air raids on Donauwörth towards the end of the Second World War on 11 and 19 April 1945, the Münster suffered serious damage, but it has been eliminated in recent decades. Restorations on the exterior took place from 1981 to 1986 and 2012.
