Here stood the Faßbender horseshoe and wagon forge between 1782 - 1969. This smith with anvil was erected in memory.

The Schweinheim house of God was not consecrated to one of the many people we venerate as saints, but rather the ONE God in THREE persons – that is, God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit – was chosen as the patron. Father Reinhard Körner writes about the mystery of the Holy Trinity: „Among the great ones among the intercessors in the history of Christianity… I found prayer texts in which – in the same prayer – each of the divine Three was explicitly addressed. When I tried to recite the texts, I could feel that these people had not only had God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit individually in mind – they were addressing a divine community. And it seemed to me that they could only do this in their written prayers because they also did it otherwise, silently in their hearts.“
