Evangelical Church Dauborn
The Evangelical Church Dauborn is a listed church building in Dauborn , a district of the municipality of Hünstelden in the Limburg-Weilburg district ( Hesse ).
The building was erected in 1756 as a high baroque hall building with a three-sided end on the site of a previous building that had been demolished the year before. The mansard roof is crowned with a canopy ridge. The walls are structured by recessed window windows. The interior has a broad mirrored ceiling . The three-sided galleries , the pulpit and the stalls date from 1756. The large classical choir wall with the organ was made around 1810; the organ itself was built in 1830 by Daniel Raßmann from Möttau . The exterior painting was restored in 1956 according to old findings.
The top of the church tower is adorned with a weather cross with a gold-plated cock. Below the weather cross there is a stylized barrel. This barrel symbolizes a schnapps barrel of the Dauborn grain, which is known far beyond the local borders and, according to legend, contains the original recipe for the Dauborn grain.
The cemetery wall dates from the 19th century.
A memorial in front of the church commemorates the victims of the world wars. The grave of honor for Friedrich Wilhelm Fellner is on the church wall . Behind the church is the village cemetery.
