Saint Charles Borromeo (1538 to 1584), to whom this imposing church is dedicated, came from a noble family and was Cardinal of Milan. Since one of his interests was education, the Association of Catholic Public Libraries in Germany, founded in 1845, was named after him (if you are interested, see https://www.borromaeusverein.de/ ). Saint Charles Borromeo's memorial day in the calendar of saints is November 4th. A huge monument is dedicated to him in his Italian homeland (Arona in Piedmont), see: https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/585434
