Architecture and history

The hall church, built in the neo-Gothic style from sandstone , was built in the years 1877/78, according to other statements in 1878/79 and was built as a replacement for the old church Bad Suderode , which was considered too small, but which was preserved.

The New Church has a polygonal choir and a transept . The slender tower with a pointed helmet rises at the southern end.

The interior of the church looks monumental. The furnishings from the construction period are still largely original. There are wide galleries in the transept. The painting of the church from the construction period was reconstructed in 1996/97. There is a memorial south of the church.

The church belongs to the parish Bad Suderode-Friedrichsbrunn in the parish of Halberstadt of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .

legend

The New Church is the subject of the legend The Sacrificial Stone of Suderode . Then the devil, out of anger about the construction of the New Church in Bad Suderode and the devil's disregard for the old-fashioned festivals, cut his claws into the sacrificial stone , which created the grooves on its top. Then the devil turned the church so that its entrance faces south today, but the sanctuary faces north in the direction of the sacrificial stone. The Suderoder would now always look in the direction of the sacrificial stone when leaving the church and have to admit that one cannot love something new without appreciating the old.
