 In the Middle Rhine area he seldom appears as a church's patron saint, and that he is such a thing for a church in Eimsheim can be explained by the municipality's former allegiance to the Palatinate, where his name often cropped up.Furthermore, to this day, springs can still be found in Eimsheim giving forth water from slopes, and they are also to be seen on many farms.As late as 1906, the municipality got its water supply from ten municipally owned springs.
