The old village church of Lübars is located in the heart of the village center. The church stands in the center of the village green. When people settled in Lübars in the 13th century, the first church was built on this site. In 1790, the church building was destroyed in a great fire. The current village church was subsequently built on the remains of the burned-out church walls. It was completed in 1794. Since then, the church has been altered many times. The altar in the church dates from 1739 and was actually a gift from "Soldier King" Frederick William I to another church in Mitte. However, this church no longer exists, and since 1956, the altar has stood here in Lübars.
Churchyard and Cemetery
Next to and around the church are the graves of farming families who lived in Lübars for many generations or who still live in the village. These include the graves of the Neuendorf, Qualitz, Kühne, Rosentreter, Rathenow, and Zabel-Krüger families. Today, no one is buried here because there isn't enough space for more. The last burials in the cemetery took place in 1932.
A special feature are the mulberry trees, one of which still grows here today. The trees were planted here in the mid-18th century by order of Frederick II, King of Prussia. More than 20 of these deciduous trees once stood here. These special trees were to be cultivated throughout the Margraviate of Brandenburg because the leaves of the mulberry trees were important as food for silkworms and thus for the production of silk. Attempts were made at the time to establish silk production in the region – without much success.
