After a short construction period, the Tabor Church was inaugurated on April 9, 1911 by the Evangelical Community of Wilhelmshagen. In 1991 the parish celebrated its 80th anniversary.
"Thabor" is the name of a mountain and also a city that is significant in biblical times. The dschebel et-tor lies nine kilometers southeast of Nazareth, its summit measures 400 meters above sea level.
The Berlin architects Peter Jürgensen (1873-1954) and Jürgen Bachmann (born 1872) designed not only the Taborkirche Wilhelmshagen, but also the Protestant church "Zur gladhe message" in Berlin-Karlshorst (1910) and the Waldkapelle Hessenwinkel (1910).
The church interior of the Tabor Church also communicates something from the pre-war period, when a new objectivity was already being sought. A conservationist said with respect to the overall work: "These people were looking for solutions that were implemented by the Bauhaus ten years later."
The entrance portal shows three angels with cross (faith), anchor (hope) and heart (love). They refer to the New Testament. In the First Letter of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians, the 13th chapter in verse 13 states: “But now there is faith, hope, love, these three; but love is the greatest of them. "

Church in the center of the village. Well restored and worth a detour.
