history
The Protestant-Lutheran neo-Gothic brick Zion Church was built as a replacement for the dilapidated medieval St. Bartholomew's Church from 1218, the so-called Ochsenkirche in Imsum (formerly things ), of which only the Ochsenturm remained. The consistorial building inspector August Schwägermann from Stade planned the nave and the indented choir with a 5/8 end and Carl Pogge from Bremerhavenen planned the east tower of the church; perhaps based on the model of the Mayor Smidt Memorial Church in Bremerhaven. The open, middle bell storey has triangular gables on all four sides. The octagons upper tower is of a pointed spire covered. The church was consecrated on the 1st of Advent 1877. The old pastor's house no longer exists.
Inside, the partially open, three-part hanging truss of the roof structure characterizes the ceiling of the church. The church was furnished (altar painting by Adolf Wichmann , three choir windows, ten side windows, pulpit ) through donations. The old 13 baroque wood carvings were reused, as well as the old bronze baptismal font from 1284, the late medieval chalices, a bronze bell from 1455 and the wood-carved pulpit panels.
