history
Upsprunge was first mentioned in 1216. Upsprunge belonged to the parish in the Salzkotten settlement of Vielsen until 1256 . After that, Upsprunge belonged to the parish of St. Johannes Baptist in Salzkotten . In 1425 a chapel was built in Upsprunge, which was consecrated by the auxiliary bishop Johannes von Korbach .
Today's St. Petrus Church was built in 1895/96 according to plans by the Altrogge construction company. On May 18, 1896, Bishop Hubert Theophil Simar was able to consecrate the high altar of Ferdinand Mündelein from Paderborn. In 1900 an organ (size II / 12) from FW Stegerhoff, Paderborn was installed.
On April 18, 1907, the first vicar was introduced in Upsprunge and moved into the rectory, which was built in 1906/07. In 1920 the vicarie was raised to an independent parish and the previous vicar was appointed pastor.
In 1977 the church was extensively renovated and a new celebration altar was brought into the church in accordance with the Second Vatican Council .
