history

The church services of the community were first celebrated in a small chapel on the mezzanine floor of the residential building of a furniture manufacturer. In 1927 the building was acquired by the community and converted into a community center by Josef Bachem . A church room for about 140 people was created. The building, which was partially destroyed in the Second World War , was confiscated by the Soviet military administration and the church furnishings were destroyed.
