    the baroque church to be admired in Rellingen center is only from 1756 and replaced a 500 year old, simple rock stone church. What a difference that must have made for the people who came from far and wide at the time and went here for prayer.

      The Evangelical-Lutheran Rellinger Church in the center of Rellingen is one of the most important baroque buildings in Schleswig-Holstein. Outside of church services, the church is regularly used for concerts and similar events.
      Rellingen was probably Christianized in the 9th century. However, there are no sources about it, so one can only assume that the Romanesque fieldstone church was built in the second half of the 12th century, the remains of which can still be seen on the round tower. Although this church was expanded in 1584 with a southern extension, over the centuries it was too small and dilapidated, it was also damaged by the storm of February 14, 1648 and then only provisionally restored. In the 18th century, Friedrich V of Denmark, who was sovereign of Holstein at the time, ordered a new building for the Rellinger parish.
      Tower
      The foundation walls and parts of the tower core are Romanesque and come from the old stone church. This original building can still be recognized on the northern side of the tower by the granite stones visible up to a height of about three meters. The mighty round shaft was probably also intended to serve as a defense tower. The tower is clad in brick and supported by buttresses. Under the guidance of the Altona carpenter Jacob Bläser (1650–1712), it received a new roof from 1702 to 1703. Bläser placed a slender, multi-sided pyramid on a baroque curved hood. The characteristic twisting of the spire that can be seen today was created after the roof truss warped due to the effects of the weather. When the octagon was rebuilt in 1755, the new main portal was created on the ground floor of the tower. The tower is 57.5 meters high.
      The carpenter Jacob Bläser put on a baroque helmet in 1703 after the Romanesque tower had been repaired. According to legend, Bläser hanged himself because he was ashamed of the slightly crooked tower. However, this could never be proven, he died on May 30, 1712 in Altona with an unknown cause of death.

        The opening hours of the Rellinger church are unfortunately very limited:
        Thursday 6-7 p.m. (all year round)
        Sunday 2-5 p.m. (June to September)


        The church is also impressive from the outside and is worth a detour. Nearby there are some information boards on the history of the city and places to stop and shop.
