history

Until the end of the 18th century the parish belonged to the church in Geismar, whose pastor held a service every two weeks in Dainrode. The plans for the construction of today's church came about after the end of the Napoleonic era in the second decade of the 19th century.

In 1827 the consistory in Marburg considered building a half-timbered church here according to plans by the master carpenter Bickhard. However, these plans were discarded by the Oberbaudirektion in Kassel, as these massive buildings were preferred. Therefore, the construction manager Koppen in Kassel created new plans for the construction of a massive church made of stone in classical forms. Although the consistory in Marburg tried in 1829 to implement a cheaper solution based on plans by the master builder Nikolaus Arend, who was just building a new church in Geismar, these were rejected in Kassel.

So in the end a massive church was built according to Koppen's plans, which was completed in 1835. At the site of the current church, built in 1835, a previous church once stood in a cemetery . No further details are known about them. At the end of the 18th century it was mentioned that the church was in a very poor structural condition. In an inventory from 1824 it says: A very dilapidated and completely unusable church with a small tower on top of the same quality, a small bell .

For the citizens of Dainrode, the construction of the church and the financial burden associated with it was a great burden. At the beginning, the citizens felt the construction as a punishment imposed by the authorities and the landgrave, but over time a close relationship developed with it her "jewelry box".

Description of the church

The current simple hall building in a classicist style with a risalit-like front tower slid in the upper part was built according to Koppen's plans. The result was a simple, north-south-oriented three-axis hall building made of ashlar with a retracted square tower with a slightly overhanging upper floor and a pointed, curved tent roof. Access to the interior is through the four-story church tower.

The tower, which protrudes slightly from the wall in the north, corresponds to a gabled porch in the south, which was probably formerly used as a small sanctuary, the windows of which have recently been walled up. The only architectural ornament of the simple, classicist building is a flat surrounding strip of cornice at the height of the arched windows.

The upper end is a flat hipped roof that was renewed in 1987. The interior of the simple hall church is structured on three sides by the circumferential gallery resting on bevelled stands, which in the north accommodates the slightly protruding, simple organ prospect. On the upper floor of the gallery, which is provided with a simple coffered parapet, the chamfered stands are continued up to the ceiling resting on two parallel beams.

In the south of the church, in front of the former chancel, there is now the simple altar room, the upper floor of the small annex building now occupies the pulpit. The pulpit is behind the altar. The bell was cast in 1837; it bears the inscription: DAINRODE IN 1837. CAST AT THE YARD = SENSE OF RINCKER. The organ was made in 1908 by the Eduard Vogt company in Korbach .
