Mountain Church (Schönau)
The Bergkirche is a Protestant church in Schönau in the Black Forest , which was built in the 1920s. An independent evangelical congregation formed in the village as early as 1883.
history
Until the second half of the 19th century, the Protestant believers were cared for from Neuenweg . In 1883 a diaspora community emerged. In the absence of suitable premises, the pastor held services in the halls of the town hall and the district court. Already at the beginning of the 20th century there were plans to build an own church. However, these could only be implemented after the First World War . The construction work lasted from 1925 to 1927. The completed church was consecrated on July 31, 1927 by Prelate Kühlewein .
