From the small road to Burg Wersau, you have a very beautiful view of Reilingen with its parish church St. Wendelin.

In summer, when everything is green, it is easy to miss. The Duttlacher Graben is not a natural stream, it "springs" from the Bruchsal sewage treatment plant. That is why it was called the Stinkbach when the sewage treatment plants were not yet at the level they are today, because it really smelled very unpleasant.

The bridge is also known locally as the "Cowherd's Bridge" after a legend from the time of the Thirty Years' War. According to this story, the "red cowherd" (monument in Kirrlach) saved the town of Kirrlach and its inhabitants from passing soldiers by leading them into the moor (Wagbach lowlands) and drowning with them. They had asked him for the way to Wiesloch and he would have led the soldiers to Kirrlach. In the area around the Philippsburg fortress, many of the surrounding villages were attacked, burned down and wiped out during this time.

... unfortunately I can't agree with Anke! Protestant churches are generally simpler! The double gallery in the church is remarkable, but otherwise it's very simple!
