In
the
course
of
its
history,
the
Church
of
the
Holy
Spirit
was
used
by
both
Catholics
and
Protestants,
even
simultaneously.
Starting
in
1706,
a
partition
was
inserted
so
that
both
congregations
could
hold
their
services
without
any
mutual
disturbance.
In
1720,
Karl
III
Philip,
Elector
Palatine
came
into
conflict
with
the
town's
Protestants
as
a
result
of
fully
handing
over
the
Church
of
the
Holy
Spirit
to
the
Catholics.
Karl
Philip
gave
way,
due
to
pressure
from
Prussia,
the
Dutch
Republic,
and
Sweden
and
repartitioned
the
wall.
In
1936
the
separating
wall
was
removed
and
the
church
is
now
exclusively
Protestant
(Protestant
Church
in
Baden).
At
the
beginning
of
the
1970s,
the
steps
at
the
rear
of
the
Church
of
the
Holy
Spirit
were
popular
with
the
Hippies
and
the
Flower
Power
movement
and
became
a
tourist
attraction
during
this
time.
In
1972,
a
rock
concert
by
Werner
Pieper
and
the
English
band
Quintessence
was
organised
in
the
church
and
attended
by
students
and
Hippies
alike.
