Stadtkirche Wittenberge

The formerly small fishing and farming town of Wittenberge in Prignitz had modest predecessor churches: the foundations of the church from the time of the city's founding in the 13th century were discovered in 1997. In a devastating city fire in 1652, the church was destroyed by the flames. The rebuilt church also burned down in 1757. Finally, the simple successor building, consecrated in 1771, had to do without a tower and was - in the meantime far too small and dilapidated - demolished in 1870. After the foundation stone was laid on March 24, 1870, a church that shaped the cityscape grew up within two years. The church tower, visible from afar, filled the Wittenberg family with pride.

After demolition of the previous building, in 1870, was built until 1872, the Neo-Gothic new building. 2011- 2012, the church was completely renovated after a long decline.
