The Kalkberg Church in Rüdersdorf was built from Rüdersdorf limestone from 1869 to 1873. The construction had become necessary because the village church in Alt Rüdersdorf had become too small. The design of the church building came from Friedrich August Stüler, one of the most talented Schinkel students.
Heavy storms, lightning strikes and the artillery bombardment of the Red Army in the last days of the war repeatedly led to destruction and damage. At the beginning of the 1990s, the necessary work on the tower was carried out and the main roof was re-covered from 2009 to 2012.
Incidentally, the tower is now said to have visibly leaned slightly to the north, which could be caused by long-term weather conditions and possibly also by blasting in the limestone open-cast mine.
