Wüppels Church

A pretty little Romanesque farm church with wooden beamed ceiling. It is open and belongs to the Wangerländer Pilgerweg. A pilgrim's pass can be bought and stamped in the church. The badge costs 50 cents.

A small but fine church ...

The Evangelical Lutheran Church zu Wüppels is located off the road between Hooksiel and Horumersiel in the middle of a historic village. The church with the single-nave, flat-roofed nave dates from the late 13th century. The wood-beamed ceiling and the adjacent bell tower are from the 17th century. The tombstones of the chiefs of Fischhausen Castle deserve special attention. The pulpit with Moses as the pulpit bearer, the altar picture and the artistic baptismal font (made of wood!) indicate great rural craftsmanship. The old village of Wüppels still shows the partially renovated houses from which the villages consisted in the olden days: the church and the school, the village inn and the poorhouse, the sexton's house and the pastor's house stand around the village square. In 1909, Wüppels was combined with the parish of St. Joost to form one parish. Together with Pakens-Hooksiel, it forms a community parish.
