Horrheim

St. Clemenskirche (2011).
Horrheim, 1684 (Forstlagerbüchern, Andreas Kieser).
First mentioned in a 771 AD book now at the Lorsch Abbey in Hesse, Horrheim today (2015) has a population of 2568. The town was the home of the earliest known Imle patriarch—Endriss Imlin (born 1558) and three generations of his descendants. Horrheim’s protestant Church of St. Clemens dates from well before Endriss’s time. The octagonal tower dates from the thirteenth century with fourteenth-century murals and is prominent in a 1684 print of Horrheim by Andreas Kieser.
