On 26.2.1970, approval for preliminary planning was granted. The planning was assigned to Mr. Architect Jakob, Bamberg. Construction work began on 1.8.1973. On 9.9.1973, the foundation stone for the new church was laid. On 13.10.1974, on behalf of the most reverend Archbishop, the most reverend Mr. Martin Wiesend, the current auxiliary bishop of Bamberg, gave the ecclesiastical consecration to the new "Maria Königin" church. The artistic design of the church The four windows of the church are made of leaded glass. This means: the individual pieces of glass are held together with lead strips and fixed in iron frames. The essential aspect of this work is that it is painted with colored glass, not on glass. The lead strips have not only a technical function but also an artistic one. They are the drawing of the motif, i.e., the contour. So much for the technique. The theme of the windows was developed in a meeting with Mr. Pastor Drost. It is, like the entire Gospel, enormously current. The son goes away from the father into the world, believing he will find "real" life here (1st window). After enjoying this world, he has doubts about his life so far, he sees the image of the father in his mind (2nd window). The decision is made. The son returns to the father. He is lovingly welcomed (3rd window). In joy over the son's return, the father gives a feast (symbol of the Last Supper, 4th window). The colored design is adapted to the theme, from dark to light. I thank the Glaskontor Bamberg for the good craftsmanship of the windows. The altar and ambo with symbolic reliefs were worked on by the company Fröhlich, Baunach. The tabernacle and candlesticks come from the workshop of Fr. Schwarzl, Bamberg. The beautiful Christ on the altar wall was restored by the company Birklein.

The original village, whose farms were long the property of knights and clergy, has not changed significantly in more recent times. It has two charming squares, the village square, where several streets converge, and above all the church square with the church and the mighty court linden tree. New properties are grouped around the center. https://www.altenkunstadt.de/home/ortsteile/maineck
