history

A church was first recorded in Kunersdorf in 1375. After its destruction in the Thirty Years War , it was rebuilt as a half-timbered church until 1683 . Almost a hundred years later the church building was so dilapidated that Hans Sigismund von Lestwitz had a new building built in 1781. The new building with a west tower is assigned to the baroque , although other sources call it early classical . At the end of the Second World War , this church building was destroyed and had to be demolished in 1948.

The current church was built in 1950–1955 according to plans by the building councilor Curt Steinberg on the cemetery in the northwest of the village, directly on the B 167 . The earlier churches were in the center of the village. The cemetery was established by the Barfus family in the late 17th century. The hereditary burial of the von Lestwitz-Itzenplitz family is also located in this cemetery .
