The Lübars village church on the Alt-Lübars village green is one of over 50 village churches in Berlin. The simple hall church with a tower in front represents a church type that is often found in the village churches of the Mark Brandenburg in the Baroque period. The church, damaged during World War II, was restored from 1950 to 1956.

The village of Lübars, which was first mentioned in a document in 1247, had a village church made of wood or half-timbered houses as early as the Middle Ages, because four parish hooves are mentioned in the land book of Charles IV (1375). Nothing is known about the time it was built or its medieval form. In the early modern period (probably after the Thirty Years' War) it received a half-timbered church that burned down in 1790. The successor building to the evangelical village church, a simple hall church with a square tower in front, still has all the stylistic features of the baroque in a strict Prussian style. It was built from 1791 to 1794 on the foundations of the half-timbered stone church that burned down in 1790 in a major fire.

In 1983 an extensive plaster renewal took place.

The old village church of Lübars is located in the heart of the village center. The church stands in the center of the village green. When people settled in Lübars in the 13th century, the first church was built on this site. In 1790, the church building was destroyed in a great fire. The current village church was subsequently built on the remains of the burned-out church walls. It was completed in 1794. Since then, the church has been altered many times. The altar in the church dates from 1739 and was actually a gift from "Soldier King" Frederick William I to another church in Mitte. However, this church no longer exists, and since 1956, the altar has stood here in Lübars.

Churchyard and Cemetery

Next to and around the church are the graves of farming families who lived in Lübars for many generations or who still live in the village. These include the graves of the Neuendorf, Qualitz, Kühne, Rosentreter, Rathenow, and Zabel-Krüger families. Today, no one is buried here because there isn't enough space for more. The last burials in the cemetery took place in 1932.

A special feature are the mulberry trees, one of which still grows here today. The trees were planted here in the mid-18th century by order of Frederick II, King of Prussia. More than 20 of these deciduous trees once stood here. These special trees were to be cultivated throughout the Margraviate of Brandenburg because the leaves of the mulberry trees were important as food for silkworms and thus for the production of silk. Attempts were made at the time to establish silk production in the region – without much success.
