history

The village church was built from 1897 to 1898 in the neo-Gothic style. The plans came from the architect Friedrich Fahro and had already been drawn up and carried out five years earlier for the Luther Church in Bad Kösen . St. Boniface is a listed building . The natural stone of the previous building was also used for the brick- built historicist church , about which - apart from the old Bonifatius - patronage - nothing else has been handed down.

In 2014 the church won the Foundation for the Preservation of Church Monuments in Germany (KiBa Foundation) in February. So far the church has been funded as follows:

  • The KiBa Foundation donated 30,000 euros in 2011.
  • In the summer of 2013 donations totaling 55,000 euros were made available.

The renovation of the roof is expected to cost 220,000 euros.
