Daniels parish
The Daniels parish with the Daniels church and the parish hall in Lavelsloh include around 2,000 parishioners in the villages of Bohnhorst, Bramkamp, Diepenau and Lavelsloh. The most important groups within the congregation are the trombone choir and the criss-cross choir, both of which are known across local borders. In the meantime, a children's choir has also joined forces, which consists of around 25 children. The community's visiting service is the oldest in the entire parish and has been active for over 40 years. There has been a long-term and broad-based collaboration with the neighboring parishes of Essern, Warmsen and Uchte. Large church services are regularly organized and held regionally. In addition, each year all four congregations design a summer church on different topics (baptism, Reformation, ...).
The story of Daniels Church is historically exciting. On the one hand, because it did not have a name until the year 2000, on the other hand, because it was rebuilt by that same Daniel after it was destroyed in the Thirty Years War . The previous thatched-roof church was set on fire by Swedish cannons in 1636 after repeated looting by soldiers and was totally destroyed. A new building of the one Church for the entire office Diepenau in the southeast part of the Principality of Lüneburg belonging county Hoya appeared in the persistent poverty almost completely impossible. About 20 kilometers north-west of Minden in Westphalia , which was also hard hit by the chaos of war, threatened brutality and hunger, epidemics and fire, making it impossible to reflect on God and build a new house of God. At that time Daniel Sarninghausen ( 1583 - 1656 ) was pastor of the community and left no stone unturned in collecting funds for the reconstruction. He traveled to the surrounding parishes and sent other ambassadors. The success was rather moderate. So he decided to take a drastic and dangerous step: He asked the conquerors, who were also destroyers of the Church! At their victory feast, Pastor Sarninghausen asked not only the Swedish officers and soldiers, but also the general Count Hans Christoph von Königsmarck himself for a donation. His effort had paid off: he received, probably from the spoils of war, the astonishing sum of 300 ducats , which made a very solid foundation. The new building was also sponsored by Duke Wilhelm von Braunschweig-Lüneburg as the Protestant sovereign. Accordingly, it was immortalized with its private coat of arms and the year 1641 on the outside of the church door.
