history
Previous construction
A church in Alt-Büderich has been documented since 1154. In 1466 it was replaced by a building in the Gothic style, the nave of which was 17.10 m wide and 17.40 m long. The square choir adjoining it on the eastern side measured 5.70 × 5.70 m. On the western side was the tower with a footprint of 7.00 × 7.00 m. The church last had a baroque high altar and a few other altars. Since the Reformation , the church has been used at times by the Catholics and at times by the Protestants . In 1673 a religious comparison was concluded in which the common use was regulated. In 1675 the church was divided by a wall. Around Christmas 1813, the church was completely destroyed in the course of the demolition of the entire city of Büderich on the orders of Napoleon . A memorial stone erected on April 3, 1957 commemorates them.
Building history
On July 11, 1814, on the road from Wesel to Geldern , about one and a half kilometers up the Rhine from the old city, the place for the construction of Neu-Büderich was determined. The new building began in 1815. Both denominations should now have their own church. The responsible agricultural inspector Otto von Gloeden designed both churches in 1817 and submitted the designs to the Oberbaudeputation in Berlin . Karl Friedrich Schinkel largely revised the designs. The foundation stone of the Protestant church was laid on September 26, 1820, and the inauguration took place on November 3, 1822.
