Bebertal cemetery chapel

East side with entrance of the cemetery chapel

The cemetery chapel Bebertal (in the district Bebertal I, formerly Alvensleben) is from 35 Taufkirchen, the bishop according to tradition, a Hildegrim I of Halberstadt founded (804-827) in the 9th century and the St. Stephen consecrated.

The simple rectangular hall construction probably dates from the 10th century. The two round windows and the layered field stones in the north and south walls are possibly also from pre-Romanesque times. The small church has been used as a cemetery chapel since the 17th century.

In the first half of the 19th century, the cemetery chapel was converted into an antenna temple . The wooden columns that support the east gable today were built in.
