location
The Wilmersdorfer Straße leads from the northwest in a southeast direction through the village. To the west of the manor house, Schmiedeberger Weg crosses the road in a southerly direction when coming from the north. The church stands southwest of this intersection on Steinhöfler Weg on a plot of land that is fenced in and surrounded by residential buildings.
history
In the Middle Ages one existed religious building in the town, but this was down to a few foundation remains destroyed by war between Brandenburg and Pomerania in the year 1467th Wilmersdorf belonged to the diocese of Cammin at that time . It is not yet known whether a new building was erected in the following centuries. It is certain that the church patronage was with the von Sparr family until 1604 and with the von Buch family from 1626 to 1945, with brief interruptions . Towards the end of the 17th century, the place is a branch church of Poland . In Schmettauschen cartography no building can be found. In 1795 there was a school and sexton house in the village, which was also used for church services . From 1882 the parish moved into a newly designed room in the gardener's house. In 1935 the landlord Alexander von Buch applied for a new building, which he was denied during the National Socialist era . In 1936 he had a barn belonging to the forestry department converted into a church based on a design by the government building councilor Johannes Rosenthal. Erich Kistenmacher took over the execution; the consecration took place on October 2, 1936. After the end of the Second World War , the von Buchs were expropriated. In 1999 the community acquired the building and had it renovated. The renovation was provisionally concluded on June 17, 2000 with a solemn service. However, only a few years later, significant construction defects came to light. Parts of the framework were infected with dry rot. In order to guarantee permanent stability, the roof must be replaced before the work. The parish began collecting donations in 2005, but had to learn in 2018 that a renovation cannot currently be implemented. As a result, a development association was founded, which has been committed to implementing the necessary work since then.
