St. Martin's Church, Biberach

[1] Its two congregations form part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart and the Lutheran Evangelical Regional Church in Württemberg, respectively.

The next year, a Catholic rang the bells to disrupt the wedding of a prominent Lutheran couple underway in the nave.

A crowd gathered and a riot ensued large enough to be investigated by an imperial commission, which resolved issues surrounding shared use of the church.

The richly carved, gothic, early 16th century choir stalls were preserved when most of the interior decorations were removed during the iconoclasm of the Reformation.

[1] Between the Catholic choir area and the Protestant nave is a large clock, with two faces, one visible from each part of the shared church.
