Scheuder Church
The Protestant church Scheuder is a Romanesque stone church in Scheuder and is a cultural monument under monument protection .
The Scheuder church dates back to 1132 as "Burgus". This was Albert the Bear as a defense tower built. The extension of the Burgus to the church by adding a choir room with apse and triumphal arch took place in 1149.
The bell book for the Duchy of Anhalt reports that there is a very old and valuable bell in the church . The bell from the 12th century bore the inscription "O Rex Glorie veni cum pace". However, this bell no longer exists. From August 1846 Christian Stein was pastor in Scheuder. After the March Revolution he was a liberal member of the state parliament. In order not to lose his pastor's position, he therefore revoked his position vis-à-vis the Pastoral Society and on February 19, 1852 addressed a petition for clemency to the Duke. As a sign of visible repentance, he donated a bell for the church, the atonement bell that still exists today. There are also two smaller bells from 1975 that were donated by Pastor Weißenborn.
The apse is adorned with a circular leaded glass window with a motif of the Good Shepherd .
