history

The 144 Protestants counted on December 1, 1871, had no church of their own and were dependent on the simultaneous church in Wachenheim . Because of the way there, plans were made to build their own church in Deidesheim. On July 15, 1874, a committee for the construction of a Protestant church in Deidesheim, consisting of seven men, bought a barn in Weedgasse from the Stadler family for 3,000 guilders . On December 16 of the same year, the committee left the property to the Protestant Church of Wachenheim as the mother community of the Deidesheim Protestants. The plans to convert the barn into a house of worship in the arched style came from the architect Heinrich Erfle from Dürkheim . The barn was m with three windows at a prayer hall of 10.30 mx 8.58 axes rebuilt, the construction period ranged substantially from the end of July 1874, to November 2 1874th

With the increase in the number of Protestants after the Second World War, the church was expanded in 1956/57. Architect Fritz Höckelsberger from Deidesheim had the church extended by an additional window axis and a choir and sacristy added . The number of seats in the church rose from 82 to 179. In addition, the windows were replaced by the company V. Saile from Stuttgart .

At the same time, a parish hall was built southwest of the church, including an intermediate building that connects the church and parish hall. The renovated church and the parish hall were consecrated on June 30, 1957, as part of the Gustav Adolf Festival.

In 1964 the church received its organ, it was installed by the Ott company from Göttingen ; In 1986 the organ was repaired.

Further renovations took place in 1968 (church interior), 1974 (roofs of the nave and church tower), 1988 (church interior). In 1997 the church was placed under monument protection. In 1998 the church was completely cleared out and the interior of the church was newly plastered and painted; The benches, pillars and gallery were repainted. From September 1st to 3rd, 2000 the Protestant parish of Deidesheim celebrated the 125th anniversary of the church.

tower

On the roof sat a wooden ridge turret in which two bells were hung, but which was not able to support the two bells in the long term; Due to the pressure under their weight, the roof structure and the walls of the church were damaged several times. Therefore the bells were taken down and a new tower was planned; the roof turret has been removed. On May 19, 1890, Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria approved the plans for the construction of a new church tower, which the Neustadt technician Conrad Rettinger had created. The tower was built between August and November 1890. In this the two bells were hung and a third, which was made in 1890 by the bell foundry Hamm from Frankenthal . The tower cock and the tower button were created by Adam Platz in February 1891 and placed on the tower on March 5, 1891.

architecture

The modest building with neo-Romanesque elements as a continuation of the Bavarian round arch style is a hall building facing west, the tower of which is south of the ship towards Weedgasse. The nave with arched windows has a gable roof .
