Barchfeld Church
The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Barchfeld is located at Nürnberger Straße 58 in Barchfeld , the larger district of the Barchfeld-Immelborn community in the Wartburg district in Thuringia .
Organization of the parish
The Barchfeld rectory supplies the Protestant parishes in Barchfeld and Herrenbreitungen , each of which has its own church. These parishes are part of the Werratal / Brotterode region in the Am Großen Inselsberg area . Due to the fact that Barchfeld belonged to the Schmalkalden lordship , which was part of the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel from 1583 , they belong to the Schmalkalden parish of the Evangelical Church of Kurhessen-Waldeck . The district of Immelborn is supplied by the parish office of the Meiningen-Suhl provost of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .
history
A first predecessor chapel in Breitungen / Werra is documented for the 8th century. It was raised to the parish church of Mark Breitungen in 939 , the church in Barchfeld was probably its subsidiary church . A major fire on September 12, 1749 completely destroyed the church in Barchfeld. The reconstruction began immediately, three years later a new church stood on the site of the burned down church. The year 1752 is given on the portals of the church.
