Evangelical Lutheran Church (Steinen)
The Evangelical Lutheran Christ Church in Steinen was built in the 1960s. The small modern church stands out due to its expressive roof shape. The church and parish belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Baden .
history
In 1949, immigrants from the Sudetenland and Batschka formed an Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Steinen. These celebrated their services until the early 1960s in the Evangelical Church in Höllstein . In March 1957, the Evangelical Lutheran congregation bought a piece of land from the Steinen political community to build a hall or a church. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on November 6, 1960, and the foundation stone was laid on January 6, 1961. Between 1960 and 1962, according to plans by the Munich architect Olaf Gulbrannson, a separate church was built, which was inaugurated on December 16, 1962. Since Gulbrannson had a fatal accident before the church was completed, the co-architect Karl Schwabenbauer carried out the work to the end. The church has been a listed building since 2011.
