Dreieinigkeitskirche (Obereichenbach)

Trinity Church in Obereichenbach near Ansbach

The Dreieinigkeitskirche ( listen ^?^/^I ) is an Evangelical Lutheran church named after the Holy Trinity in Obereichenbach ( Deanery Ansbach ).

Parish

Obereichenbach was parish to St. Johannis (Ansbach) from the beginning . After the Second World War, the population increased sharply due to war refugees, so that a church service station was set up in the Fischhaus . At the beginning of the 1960s, the farmer Michael Meyer purchased a piece of land on which the Trinity Church was built in 1965/66 according to plans by the architect Theodor Henzler.

From 1970 the pastor of St. Laurentius (Vestenberg) was responsible for the life of worship, currently it is St. Johannis again. The Dreieinigkeitskirche has been a simultaneous church since 1985 and has been used by different (free) churches, and since 2014 by the Romanian Orthodox community in Ansbach.

Church building

The church has an equilateral, hexagonal floor plan and forms a tent shape with the pointed roof . It has glass facades and dormers on all sides, which form a crown with the upper roof area. In the north is the community center, which was built at the same time.
