History and structure
The first mention of the Jerstedter church can be found in a Xanten document from 1046. The oldest components of the church date from the first half of the 11th century. Medieval grooves can be found on the south porch with its early Gothic portal . In 1506 the single-nave hall building received a new, flat-closing choir . The tabernacle stone with the inscription Hic deum adora - “Here worship God” was moved to the anteroom after the Reformation and used as a chapel . The tower was not built until after the Thirty Years War. The baroque carved altar was made by Andreas Gröber . The donor discs and the 52 painted angels on the wooden barrel vault are also baroque ; each of them carries a banner with a sentence from the Te Deum in Martin Luther's translation Herr Gott, dich we praise ( EG 191). The organ is a work by Johann Andreas Engelhardt from 1860.
