To the Good Shepherd (Hague)

The Church of the Good Shepherd is an Evangelical Lutheran place of worship in the Haag district of Geiselwinder . The church is located in the former Mittelhaag on the state road St2257. The cemetery chapel belongs to the Castell dean's office .

history

The village of Haag originally consisted of two places. For a long time both had no church of their own, but were looked after from nearby Rehweiler . They were part of the Grafschaft Castell until 1806 and since the adoption of the Reformation they have been inhabited exclusively by Lutherans. In the course of the establishment of the so-called Schlösslein colony in Rehweiler, pietistic ideas also found their way into Haag.

A church in Hague was not tackled until after the First World War . The building was supported in particular by private man Michael Bayer, who held Bible studies in the village. Thus, between 1922 and 1923, the Church of the Good Shepherd was built by hand and tension services of the Hague population. In 1924 the YMCA Haag was founded. The church is classified as an architectural monument by the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments.

architecture

The shepherd's church is a small sandstone building with three window axes and a gable roof . It was built in the neo-Romanesque style with exposed sandstone blocks. Above the portal, a roof turret was attached to the church , which ends with a pointed helmet. A similarly designed house with a hipped roof was added to the church as a sacristy.
