Since 1618 there is a church building in Tripkau. In 1757 it was replaced by a simple hall construction without a tower, and this half-timbered building still forms the nave in its original substance, which was expanded in 1864 to include choir, sacristy and tower.

Of the old equipment from the 18th century only the gallery is preserved; Pulpit, baptismal font and altar have remained of the Gothicizing equipment of the 19th century; the organ dates from the 18th century, but was later placed in this church.

The church was completely renovated and inaugurated in 1998. The interior is interspersed with numerous cross motifs that are unique in the Hanoverian national church.
Thanks to the great dedication of artists, artisans and church members, a space has now been created in this church, in which there is a happy connection between God and celebration.

A beautiful half-timbered church, it was built in 1864. The first church that stood on this site was built in 1618.

Not far from the town of Hitzacker, known for its music weeks, but on the eastern side of the Elbe is the village of Tripkau. It is worth a trip through its St. Mary's Church. The brick-lined half-timbered building with the unusual tower is more than worth seeing from the outside.

But the interior design of the church is even more unusual and surprising: the walls, ceiling, floor and even the windows are covered all over with crosses, all with a side length of one meter and either upright or rotated 45 degrees.

The church was built in 1757 as a replacement for a previous building as a simple hall building - somewhat disrespectfully also called a bed barn - in half-timbered construction. It was not until 1864 that the choir, sacristy and tower were added as extensions and shape the appearance of the “real” church to this day.

After a major overhaul, the Halle graphic professor Ludwig Ehrler redesigned the interior of the church in 1998. The new appearance polarizes to this day - many find the almost innumerable crosses and their seemingly random arrangement much too restless, while others are consistently enthusiastic. In fact, the first impression when you enter the church is one of great restlessness - but if you allow yourself to be involved in the design, the fragments are arranged and you can see the regularity in the arrangement of the crosses, which only seem so chaotically distributed.
