Notgeld zur Wiedereinweihung des evgl. Bethauses zu Ottendorf

Jetzige katholische Kirche · Seit 1530 evgl. 1654 den Evangelischen genommen

Ein feste Burg – ein Zufluchtsort –
So stand ich in Kriegen ein Friedenshort.

Translation:

Lettering:
Aus Geldnot zum Notgeld · Durch Notgeld aus Geldnot
Revier um die Kirchen nach Neugründung des evgl. Kirchspiels c. 1750
Nur die Sache ist verloren · Die man aufgibt
Je dürrer die Zeit · Desto grüner die Hoffnung
Leg’ an die Hand · So ruht Gottes Hand auf dir

Translation:
From money trouble to emergency money · Through emergency money out of money trouble
Area around the churches after the re-founding of the Protestant parish c. 1750
Only the cause is lost · That you give up on
The drier the times · The greener the hope
Put your hand to work · So God’s hand will rest on you
