The church in Boffzen was renamed "Church of the Redeemer" on June 1, 1986. Previously, it was simply called the "Evangelical Church."

The church was probably originally a simple wooden structure and was probably founded in 860 AD as the private church of the Corvey Monastery. Boffzen was first mentioned as a parish in 1231. In 1646, the church was partially destroyed and the rectory burned down. Flooding from the Weser River likely left the old church dilapidated and necessitated replacement.

Thus, the medieval church building was demolished in 1730 and rebuilt between 1730 and 1737. The site was filled in to make it flood-proof. Supporters, donors, and a loan provided for the construction and furnishings such as the pulpit, organ, and bells.

Significant structural changes have been made in recent years.

The entrances, originally on the sides, were relocated to their current locations. The rectangular windows were replaced with round-arched windows. The organ was moved to the west gallery and expanded to 20 registers in 1956. The glass chandelier was crafted by glassblowers from the Becker Glassworks in Rottmünde in 1858.

The church formerly had three bells. One bell had to be surrendered during World War I, and in 1920 the second bell was removed. The two missing bells were replaced with steel bells. In 1960, all three bells were replaced with bronze bells because the steel bells had begun to rust. Since then, the hand-ringing has been replaced by three electric ringing machines, which have been controlled by a timer since 1986.

The church tower clock was replaced in 1962. New pews were installed in 1970. In 1950, a stove heating system was installed in the basement, and in 1970, it was replaced by electric storage heaters.
