Facts and practical information

The Roman Catholic parish church of St. Peter in Chains is a listed church building in Astheim, a district of the municipality of Trebur in the district of Groß-Gerau.

The simple hall building with a three-sided chancel was built in 1651. The church was consecrated on September 2, 1703 by the auxiliary bishop Johann Edmund Gedult von Jungenfeld. In 1774 the building was modified. The inserted west tower with a pointed helmet is from older times from a predecessor church. The history of the patron saint is depicted on a ceiling painting.

The baroque gem bears witness to the former Kurmainz parish of Astheim. It was not until 1802/03 that Astheim was secularized and assigned to the province of Starkenburg.
