History
The parish church at Lautenbach was in existence by the 14th century, and was dependent on the abbey of Allerheiligen. During the Middle Ages, it was a prominent pilgrimage destination. For a brief period from 1470 to ca. 1484, the brothers of Allerheiligen resided at Lautenbach while their abbey was rebuilt following a fire.
The church at Lautenbach remained a possession of Allerheiligen until secularisation in 1803.
