In 1946 a parish vicarie was founded in Worpswede, which has been predominantly Evangelical-Lutheran since the Reformation . Their church services took place in Grasberg , Lilienthal and Worpswede (house no. 38). After the Guter Hirt Church in Lilienthal was inaugurated in 1961 , Lilienthal became the center of the parish.
