history

The Klein Lübarser Church is consecrated to Bishop Timothy . It is a late Romanesque stone church from the 13th century. During the Thirty Years' War the church was destroyed for the first time. It was rebuilt in 1721. In 1883 new interior paintings were carried out. The church tower was built from 1898 to 1899 in the neo-Romanesque style. The lower half was made of quarry stone , the upper half of clinker . Due to dilapidation, St. Timothei was closed by the building authorities in the 1970s, and the roof of the nave collapsed in the 1990s. In 2001 the damaged tower was renovated. As a result of the winter of 2005/2006, the upper part of the triumphal arch collapsed , but was repaired again.
