history
A bell that was cast in 1450 indicates that the place was founded before the year 900. It is no longer possible to determine when he received the first church or chapel. A chapel from the 13th and 14th centuries is still used as a winter church to this day. It once served as a high choir .
Due to the steadily growing mining industry, the population and consequently the village developed rapidly at the end of the 17th to 18th centuries. That was one of the reasons why Count Jost Christian zu Stolberg-Roßla senior granted permission to build a new church in 1735 . In addition, the old church building was dilapidated. To get space for the construction, the cemetery was moved to the Wachtberg in 1736, on which a prehistoric burial ground was and is.
In 2000 a thorough renovation of the church was completed.
The organ
The organ was created in 1823 by the organ builder Johann Scheidler from Bennungen with flat-arched protruding towers and large harp fields of its kind. It has an impressive slider mechanism with 15 registers . In terms of organ building history, this organ is a representative country organ of a minor master of regional importance. But it is not playable because the pipes on the gallery have been relocated for renovation.
