On the occasion of the 150th year, settlers celebrating in 1936 this monument with a statue of a sower was unveiled and the blessed in the churchyard.

As part of the Pentecost reunion of 1969 this monument honoring the dead was dedicated at the cemetery in LANGENBRÜCKEN.

In 1784 a small prayer house stood in the former churchyard. In 1811 a new church was built in its place. In 1890 it was made 5 meters longer and in 1895 it was painted.  It was dedicated to St. Nepmuk.

Homeland museum PARABUTSCH. Almost all domestic events happened in the kitchen (Kuchl)  where it was dining and living all at the same time.

On October 9. 1994, 50 years after the flight and expulsion, the "Homeland museum of the PARABUTSCH Danube Swabians" was ready to open in Bad Schönborn-Langenbrücken. In two rooms (about220 square meters) there is in clear form a cross- section of history. The culture and habits of the one-time inhabitants of the former community of Parabutsch are shown.

With mixed joy and melancholy we view the displayed Sunday and feast day fashions.

The exhibit is open every Thursday and the first Sunday of the month from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
