| Liebfrauenkirche in Fischerhude |
|
The first sacral building in Fischerhude was consecrated in year 1195, and it was served by Carmelite monks from Cologne. At first it was only a small chapel in which the deceased were laid out, before they were buried in the neighboring village Wilstedt. |
|
| After Reformation, and for want of an own Lutheran Pastor, school teachers undertook part of pastoral duties in Fischerhude. |
|
In 1825, the first cemetery was consecrated; in 1841, a parish church was built in place of the chapel and consecrated as Liebfrauenkirche. The first own Fischerhude Pastor startet his work in 1852. |
|
In 1859, the churchyard was surrounded by 39 tombstones of Fischerhude earliest ancestors repatriated from Wilstedt graveyard. In 1864, a steeple was built; twenty-two years later in 1886, an apse was added. Its latest renovations were completed during 1987. |
|
Today, in addition to church services, numerous cultural events take place here in particular concerts of various Fischerhude choirs and sacred organ recitals. A Lutheran kindergarten is connected to the parish as well. |
