The Protestant church in Steinbach-Hallenberg dates from the early Baroque period. It was built between 1652 and 1656, with the church tower dating from 1698/1699. The construction of the church was financed entirely by the citizens of Steinbach-Hallenberg, even though they were relatively impoverished at the time, having had to allow foreign troops to pass through their town 25 times during the Thirty Years' War.

The route is mostly away from other roads and a pure pleasure

One of the few good cycle paths.

The Evangelical Lutheran Romanesque hall church of St. Dionysius was built around 1200 from rubble stone, received a choir with a bay in 1300, and was expanded until 1630. In 1975, it received an organ, was repainted in 1969/70, and the tower was renovated in 2025.

I just barely fit through underneath.

Beautiful shelter in the middle of the forest right next to a crossroads.

Beautiful church in the village of Steinbach-Hallenberg. Construction history: In the Middle Ages, there was a St. Mary's Chapel in Steinbach-Hallenberg, which was first mentioned in 1274. On October 24, 1308, the separation of the St. Mary's Chapel in Steinbach-Hallenberg from the mother church in Schmalkalden was requested, but it was not approved until 1323. Since then, Steinbach-Hallenberg has been an independent parish. How long the St. Mary's Chapel stood is unknown. It has also not yet been determined when the people of Steinbach-Hallenberg built a larger church when the population of the community grew. It is certain that one existed in the 16th century. It was torn down when construction of the current church began 300 years ago. During the Thirty Years' War, foreign troops passed through Steinbach-Hallenberg a total of 25 times. For years, large payments had to be made to the Hessian troops. Nevertheless, the impoverished community decided to build a new church on January 2, 1651: "Accordingly, the church building here in Untersteinbach is very dilapidated, so that the tower could collapse at some point and cause even greater damage if it and the church are not built and improved, so that this tower and church must necessarily be built and improved..." The foundation stone for the church was laid on July 13, 1652 and the building was completed in November. It was consecrated by Pastor Clemen on September 15, 1656.
