St. Engelbert Church St. Engelbert Church is the Baroque centerpiece of the town of St. Ingbert. Presumably designed by the architect Friedrich Stengel, it is one of the town's three landmarks. The church features a historically significant organ by Schlimbach and Sons. The first St. Ingbert church fell victim to the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War. In 1755, Count Friedrich Ferdinand von der Leyen built "St. Engelbert" in the heart of the town in a simple Baroque style, presumably based on plans by Friedrich Stengel. As a token of appreciation for the donations, the only exterior decoration was the beautifully executed large coat of arms of Count Friedrich Ferdinand von der Leyen and his wife Charlotte von Hatzfeldt above the portal.

📍 Between Es Greth and Neuweiler A name that arouses curiosity – and a section that delivers just that: mysterious paths, dense trees, rustling leaves. Whether a headless lizard really roamed here remains to be seen – but the atmosphere is fitting. Especially under a gray sky, the imagination will naturally awaken. 💡 Tip: A great spot for anyone who enjoys legends and quiet forest paths. Don't walk past – a quick stop and a look into the thicket is worth it.

📍 In the middle of the forest near Neuweiler Es Greth seems like it's from another time – quiet, almost mysterious. Anyone who reaches this point on the trail immediately senses that there's history here. Perhaps a legend, perhaps just a name – but definitely a place to linger. 💡 Tip: An ideal place for a short break. If you like, you can take a deep breath, listen – and imagine what might have happened here in the past.
