Ten years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, Lorup was ravaged by an infectious disease that killed many inhabitants. After this epidemic that was popularly referred to as the "East Frisian plague", the Loruper population made the vow to perform a procession on May 1 from then on.
Until today, the promise is kept. In remembrance of the events of that time, this place of worship was solemnly inaugurated on 1 May 1958 by Pastor Gerhard Uthoff.
