history
The church was built in 1715 on the site of the old church that burned down in 1712 and was consecrated in 1716. In the last years of the GDR the church fell into disrepair and was closed in 1980. The organ was no longer usable and the tower clock no longer worked. From 1986 the church was repaired. On February 28, 1990, the church tower collapsed on the roof of the nave during hurricane Wiebke . It was not until 2002 that the tower could be rebuilt and re-loaded together with the roof of the nave. The mechanical tower clock was reconstructed and the bells could be rung again.
