The Evangelical Parish Church of Rheinberg am Niederrhein in the Wesel district in North Rhine-Westphalia is a Protestant hall church in the north of the city center. Today's listed building was built as a barn in 1464 and converted into a church in 1768.
The Evangelical Church Community of Rheinberg, which has around 3450 members, was founded in 1580 and is responsible for the core city of Rheinberg as well as for the districts of Annaberg, Winterswick and parts of Millingen .
history
The establishment of the Protestant parish in Rheinberg dates back to 1580, when it was first mentioned in a document. In 1586 Protestant preachers came to Rheinberg and preached Protestant doctrine. Between 1590 and 1633, during the Reformation and Counter-Reformation , denominations changed in Rheinberg. From 1633 the parish experienced a heyday under Dutch rule and celebrated its services in today's Catholic St. Peter's Church . After French troops marched in on June 7, 1672, the Protestant services had to take place in private homes. As a result, a barn built in 1464 was initially rented in 1686, then bought on September 22, 1694 and converted into a prayer room . Since the access area leading to it was only acquired on June 4, 1721, interest payments had to be omitted to reach the barn. Therefore, the services were held in the church on Orsoyer Straße from 1705 to 1715. In 1768 the prayer room was converted into a church service house.
In 1883 the church had to be renovated because the clay masonry threatened to break apart and the roof was rotten. The outer walls were reinforced by buttresses . From 1885 to 1886 the bell tower and the entrance hall were added, and the sacristy in 1927 . In 1955, after the war, the church was expanded to include an apse on the north side. In connection with this interior construction, the gallery and the organ were moved to the south side and the pulpit and altar to the north side. A previously flat ceiling was replaced by a barrel vault made of larch wood .
In August 1986 the Evangelical Church Rheinberg was added to the list of monuments of the city of Rheinberg and registered as a monument with the number 81.

organ
In 1707 the first organ was inaugurated. It comes from the Schermbeck company Henrichen Velderhoff. First a new organ followed in 1843, then the next in 1849. This two-manual instrument had 15 stops and a pedal. The builder was the Rheinberg organ builder Bernhard Tibus. It served until February 28, 1932, on March 13 of the same year a new multiplex organ by Orgelbau Ernst Seifert from Kevelaer was installed in the church. After the church was rebuilt in 1955, it could no longer be used, but individual stops were replaced by a new, smaller organ by the organ builder Bosch .

Church tower and bells
The first two bells of the Evangelical Parish Rheinberg were implemented in the church tower on Orsoyer Straße in 1707. After the access area to the former barn was purchased and that church was abandoned after ten years, the bells had to be sold in 1715. One went to the Budberg community, the other to the Alpen community, where both are still on duty. The neo-Romanesque church and bell tower of today's church was built between 1885 and 1886 and is 29.10 meters high. He received two bells from the company Petit & Gelbrok in Gescher . The smaller bell rang for the last time in August 1917 and had to be melted down during the First World War . In 1933 the second bell was traded in and three new bells made of bronze were purchased. Two of these were expropriated from the community in 1942 and bomb fragments damaged the smallest, which the community initially retained. In 1954, three new cast steel bells were created for the church tower by the Bochumer Verein company . A verse from the Bible was engraved on each bell .
