Hohenstadt, first documented in 1235, is now part of the municipality of Abtsgmünd and has a population of 800. The church and castle are prominently located on the Frickenhofer Höhe plateau, visible from afar.

Today's Catholic parish, with its approximately 700 members, also includes the Catholic Christians from the surrounding communities of Obergröningen and Neubronn, as well as from Reichertshofen and numerous outlying farms.

Hohenstadt gained particular importance through its annual pilgrimage to Saint Patrick, whose feast day is celebrated on March 17th. The large pilgrimage festival with the blessing of the horses always takes place the following Sunday.

The Catholic parish appreciates your interest in our parish and cordially invites you to join us for regular Holy Masses, the daily rosary recitation, or to visit our parish church. Also worth seeing is the nearby oldest Baroque hedge garden in Europe.

Scenic side road between Oberdrackenstein and Machtolsheim

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Since the route was closed to through traffic and rebuilt to one lane, it is even more worthwhile to drive this section between Oberdrackenstein and Machtoldsheim. Best to pay attention to the wind direction! With a tailwind it's twice as much fun. If there is a headwind, the route can become quite tough.
