A great church that was fortunately open

At the top, on the edge of a hillside, the German parish church of St. Remigius impresses with its onion dome, atypical for the region. The dome dates from 1742, the lower part from 1550. Like the first church built around 1030, the present parish church served as the focal point for the villages of Leidingen, Heiningen, Sermlingen, Schrecklingen, and Wölfingen. Its nave is a simple hall with three window axes and a narrow, three-sided chancel. The older tower, added to the west side of the nave, gives the church an asymmetrical and interesting appearance.

"German Window" in Leidingen refers to the so-called "border view windows" in the town's two churches, which mark the German-French border. Leidingen, a district of Wallerfangen, lies exactly on the border, with the "Neutral Street" (in France, "Rue de la frontière") forming the border between Germany and France. The border view windows in the churches allow one to look through them into the respective neighboring country.

The crosses stand on the path up to the church.

Here, the border between France and Germany runs along, as a median strip, the "Neutral Street," known in France as "Rue de la Frontière" (Border Street), which runs through the town. Thus, on one side of the street, the houses are in Germany, on the other, in France.
