The Evangelical Lutheran Parish of Holsen-Ahle was parish off from the Evangelical Lutheran Parish of Bünde on January 1, 1926 and has since been an independent parish in the Herford parish of the Evangelical Church of Westphalia . From 1912 to 1951, the services were held in an emergency church made of timber frame construction , which had been designed by the architect Karl Siebold (1854–1937) who worked in Bethel near Bielefeld . The church building was sold to Glandorf in the district of Osnabrück (Lower Saxony) in 1952 , where it was re-erected and has been called Kripplein Christi since then .
