Immer, wenn ich in der Heimat bin, besuche ich "meine" schöne Kirche. Hier bekam ich meinen ersten Kuss, hier rauchte ich meine erste Zigarette und hier trank ich meinen ersten Wein. Und hier versteckte ich mich auch, mit meinen Klassenkameraden, vor dem Sportunterricht, der in der Turnhalle gegenüber statt fand. Die Neue Kirche habe ich von innen noch nicht bewundert. Als die Kirche das erste Mal umgebaut wurde, bzw restauriert, war ich zarte 13 Jahre 🌹 ich bin froh, dass sie bleiben darf. Danke!

Evangelische Lutherische Kirche baujahr ca. 1886, schöne Architektur ja sogar teilweise komplexe Gebäudeformen, diese ist wirklich interessant zu betrachten von innen sowie außen. Sie ist einen Besuch auf jedenfall wert!
