Oldest church in the Gräfenstein region with wonderful surroundings.
First parish church in Rodalben, built around 1360. The still preserved Romanesque tower and the vaulted choir, which is decorated with frescoes, bear witness to this. Later expanded in the Gothic style. It is often used as a location for weddings and is managed by the parish Maria Königin (Tel. 06331 - 16856, Mail: pfarramt.rodalben@bistum-speyer.de). The church is centrally located on the main street of the town of Rodalben, right next to the Marienbrücke in the old town.
Also worth seeing are the neighboring, old rectory with the one-world-shop and the rainbow fountain on Marienplatz with its stream and the sculpture of the "Grünesputschefrau". This is reminiscent of the time when Rodalber women offered their "Grünesputsche" (= soup green) for sale in the market in neighboring Pirmasens. At Marienplatz you can also relax and have a picnic on one of the benches or seating groups. Incidentally, there is also a free, public drinking fountain here.

Die Kirche, der Park und der Brunnen sind sehr schön. In der Kirche ist manchmal Gottesdienst oder ein Konzert. Es gibt auch Gästeführungen. Bei ihnen wird vieles erklärt und man kann etwas lernen. Im Eine-Welt-Laden gibt es schöne Sachen zu kaufen. Sie kommen teils aus fernen Ländern. Passen Sie auf wegen der Stufen, die es überall gibt. Verletzen Sie sich nicht. Nehmen Sie gerne eine Begleitperson mit. Diese passt dann auf Sie auf und kann so manches erklären.
