Mention of the church of Lichtenberg in the register of the Bishopric of Lebus from 1405, 4 talents had to be transferred to the bishop as Cathedratikum every year . In 1409 Lichtenberg passed to the Grosse family in Frankfurt , who owned farms as feudal lords for a long time . The village church on the Anger was probably destroyed in the Hussite Wars from 1419 to 1434 or around 1439. Up to 1456, at least 8 farms were still desolate , as can be seen in the Rakow's feudal letters . The gentlemen changed several times until Arndt and Heinrich von Röbel zu Biegen , who had also enfeoffed Rosengarten , acquired the village in 1572. In the following year Heinrich becomes the sole owner of Lichtenberg. In 1597 he acquired the Markendorf mill and had it moved to Lichtenberg. In the same year a new church was built at his instigation.

One of the three bells fell to the ground in the 1960s, but remained intact and is now in a wooden belfry built in 1968 next to the church. It bears the inscription "Ore became steel in 1922".
