history

The St. Willehadi Church is located in the city center of Osterholz-Scharmbeck. The first church was built from wood in 850 and dedicated to Saint Willehad, the first bishop of Bremen. This makes it the oldest church in the region. In 1150 the church was replaced by a new building made of field stones , the tower walls of which have been preserved to this day.

Due to the rapidly growing population in the region and the ever increasing number of members of the community, the church was finally expanded to its current size in 1745.
