As Johannes Brenz's place of work, it was the starting point of the Reformation in the imperial city after 1523. Their gentle introduction to Hall also preserved valuable furnishings from the pre-Reformation period in St. Michael.
It is one of the most important buildings in the city. Since October 2013 the church has been the bearer of the European Heritage Label (within the network of 20 sites of the Reformation in Germany).
One of noteworthy furnishings in this church is the the tusk of a mammoth. It was found in the Bühler Valley in the 16th century, which was then interpreted as the horn of a unicorn . This tusk is now in the ambulatory of St. Michael.
Today it serves not only for church purposes but also as a concert hall. In particular, the Schwäbisch Hall open-air theater is held on the outside staircase .
