The community
In 1893 a Protestant parish was founded in Schulenberg . Two years later, at the instigation of the hut master a Cantor set, in addition to the education in the community, a prayer meeting for the community on Sunday Schulenberg should hold. These prayer lessons took place in the school at that time.
The then Superintendent Schneider and Oberkreisdirektor Kerl endeavored in 1928 to have a chapel built in the new Schulenberg, which was to be rebuilt after the flooding of Unterschulenberg by the Okertalsperre .
The foundation stone for the 21 meter long chapel was laid on Friday, October 22, 1954. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on June 11, 1955. The architect of the building was Mr. Münter. The building was built in dolomite rock . The six meter high nave has 191 seats. In 2008, a community room was set up next to the organ on the upper floor, which has a kitchen and is used as a winter church.
On November 6, 1955, the new chapel was inaugurated with a service .
On January 1, 2009, the community of Schulenberg was dissolved after it had only 150 members. The parishioners were in the St. Nicolas parish in Altenau umgepfarrt .
