    Tips

    July 24, 2019

    There was a small chapel in Lieme from around the second half of the 15th century, which was demolished due to dilapidation and replaced by the current church building on the same site in 1923-1925.

    The new building measures approximately 15 x 25 m. It is built of quarry stone, with a 27 m high church tower and slate roof. There are two bells in the church tower. In the upper area there is a tower clock that can be seen from afar.

    The main entrance to the church is on the west side. Visitors enter the church through two portal doors. There are side entrances on the north and south sides.

    The church has wooden benches arranged in 4 rows. In the rear part of the church there is a gallery with further benches and the large organ. Access to the church tower is via the gallery. Here the clock is wound by hand twice a week. The church has space for around 400 people.

    On the east side, raised three steps up, is the so-called choir room. There is also a large window here, which is glazed with an impressive image of Christ. A staircase leads to the pulpit. In front of it is a functional level, for example for the trombone choir.

    The church is painted light, with a colorful accent (red border). Supporting pillars, pews with floor and gallery are made of dark wood. Red carpet and seat cushions in the same color create a warm atmosphere. There are display boards on the walls that show the songs of the service. You can also see campaign posters for various service topics on the walls.

    The construction of the new church, which is now over 85 years old, was greatly supported by donations. There are references to donations for the construction of the church, for example the names of donors in the window glass.

    There are still two stones from 1726 in the church, namely the coat of arms stone donated by the then Count Simon Henrich Adolph zur Lippe-Biesterfeld and his wife and the founder stone for the first service of the now independent parish of Lieme on December 15, 1726.
