The Stephanuskirche with the linden fountain is in the center of Böckweiler. It is believed that there was an ancient pagan place of worship already in pre-Roman and Roman times. After the Second World War, the badly damaged church was rebuilt. The interior is simple, but it is worth taking a look inside.

Saint Stephen (or, in a different way, Stefan, both variants also partially with the Latin ending "... us"), namesake of the Evangelical Church of Böckweiler, is one of the seven first deacons of the Jerusalem early community and is the first martyr (blood witness) of early Christianity. The Church will remember him on Boxing Day, December 26th.

When Stephen said aloud his vision of the open heaven "but he, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven, saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God" (Acts chapter 7 verse 55), the people were so indignant, that they drove him out of town and stoned him.

Stephen's Church was elected Church of the Year in 2020. In summer 2020, the interior was also renovated and enchants with its puristic beauty.
