St. Dionysius in Holle , Hude parish , is the parish church of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Holle- Wüsting , which belongs to the Delmenhorst / Oldenburg Land parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Oldenburg .

history

After the area was settled by the Dutch in the 12th century, the first church is said to have been in Oberhausen . The core of the current church dates back to the 13th century. The first documentary mention comes from the year 1277, this is also assumed to be the year of construction.

In the following centuries the church was changed several times. In 1740 the eastern part collapsed. As a result, the church was extended to the east to include the choir and the vaults demolished. In 1868, Oskar Tenge added a church tower on the west side.

In 1945, shortly before the end of the Second World War , the tower was blown up by soldiers of the Wehrmacht . The vault and the organ built by Christian Vater in 1719 (or 1722) were also destroyed. The church building was renovated from 1947 to 1949. However, the tower was not reconstructed, but replaced by a roof turret .
