Raumland is since 1975 part of Bad Berleburg. It is mentioned already around 800. The church of Raumland was dedicated to St. Martin, what could be a trace of Franconian origin. Probably founded by early missionaries, local traditions connect it to St. Boniface. In the 9th century it was the first parish in the area. The late Romanesque hall church of today was built in the middle of the 13th century. Recent excavations proved, that it is probably the third church on this spot. During renovations the 1980s these frescoes were discovered under the plaster. They are dated to the second half of the 15th century.
