Christ Church (Meinhardswinden)

The Christ Church is an Evangelical Lutheran church named after Jesus Christ in Meinhardswinden ( Deanery Ansbach ).

Parish

Meinhardswinden was parish in St. Johannis (Ansbach) from the beginning . A settlement was built as early as the 1930s, and after the Second World War it was greatly expanded by the influx of war refugees. Since 1952, a fortnightly Sunday service has been held in an old stone barrack on Waldstrasse. In 1953 a prayer room was finally built, which was inaugurated on October 25 of the same year. In 1961 Meinhardswinden with Bernhardswinden , Deßmannsdorf , Kurzendorf and Louismühle was detached from St. Johannis and raised to an independent parish.

Church building

The original prayer room does not differ in appearance from a normal house. It has a rectangular floor plan and ends with a hipped roof. On the south side it has two hipped dormers. On the west side it has an extension with a hipped roof and a bell tower with an octagonal pointed roof. The single-nave hall closes off inside with the wood-clad hipped roof. On the north side is the altar, above it is a wooden crucifix, to the left is the church organ, to the right is the ambo.

In 1961, a free-standing bell tower was built northwest of the hall building. It has a square floor plan, four storeys and a pyramid roof with a final crucifix. The bell storey has rectangular sound openings on all sides. In 1996 the community center was built to the west of the extension. Since then, the extension has connected the hall with the community center.
