History and architecture
_-_au%C3%9Fen.png)
The three-aisled , vaulted hall church was built in the middle of the 13th century. In front of the current church there was already a smaller wooden church in the same place. In 1218 Egi Nolf was proven to be the senior pastor. In the same year the construction of the current church began, which lasted 25 years. It is subordinate to the patronage of St. Martin . The main apse is round on the outside and cloverleaf-shaped on the inside. The side apses are recessed in the masonry. The strong west tower is in front. This burnt out in 1816 and two bells from 1549 were destroyed. The building has narrow, ogival windows. From 1492 to 1521 a Johannes von Berntzhaußen is recorded as pastor in Freudingen.

Bells
The three bells of the church were cast in 1923 by the Bochumer Verein für Gußstahlfabrikation (BVG), but could not be delivered until 1924 due to the political situation as a result of the occupation of the Ruhr :
- Small bell: 0.96 m in diameter, 480 kg in weight, tone designation b, casting number 7549, inscription: "Be happy in hope".
- Middle bell: 1.17 m diameter, 735 kg weight, tone designation g, casting number 7579, inscription: "patiently in tribulation".
- Large bell: 1.39 m diameter, 1058 kg weight, tone designation e², casting number 7557, inscription: “Hold on to prayer”.
As a special feature, it should be noted that during the sound test on August 1, 1923, it was found that the large e² bell was "exceptionally well done".
organ
The first organ in the church was built in 1715. After a lightning strike in the bell tower, the organ was damaged and repaired in 1816 by the organ builder Philipp Heinrich Dickel from Martbach. He built three new pedal stops. In 1851 the organ received three new manual stops, a new wind chest and a new keyboard from him, which was reversed in 1893 by the organ builder Ernst Seifert by completely rebuilding the old case from 1715. The organ thus had 20 stops on two manuals and pedal .
In 1931 Seifert added an electric fan to the organ and set it back 1.6 meters. Furthermore, the disposition was brightened in the neo-baroque sense. Due to defects, the organ could no longer be played without problems at the end of the 1970s. Therefore, in 1983 the organ builder Dieter Noeske installed a new organ in the old case, which is intended for 25 registers. However, only 18 stops were installed, including three old, reused stops by the organ builder Seifert from 1893. These were Bordun 16 ′, Viola di Gamba 8 ′ and Subbass 16 ′.
In 2005 the trombone 16 ′ register was added to the pedal, which means that the organ now has 21 registers. The organ was completely overhauled from mid-July to the beginning of October 2016. Mold deposits were removed, the housing was completely cleaned and the organ was retuned. The organ has this disposition :
