Wolsier soon shines as a star church in the Havelland!
There are gratifying news for the residents of Wolsier: the long neglected church in town is to be revived and converted into a "Sternenkirche". The Leader Working Group (LAG) Havelland has selected numerous projects to apply for EU funding. A particularly hot iron is the renovation of the church, which has been badly affected since its last use in autumn 2018, such as reported.
The Mayor of Havelaue and Mayor of Wolsier, Bill Neubüser, supported the project from the start. In order to promote the project, the association "Church and Dorf Wolsier" was founded, whose chair, Merit Schambach, underlines the importance of the funding for the revival of the church. Everyone involved agrees: this church is one of the cultural roots of the community.
cultural heritage in focus
The history of the Wolsierer Church is diverse and can be traced back to 1526 when a bell with the inscription "Di Mi Hebben Doen Maken God Laetse Inhemelrlck Gheraken.anno Domini McCcccxxvi" was installed in the tower, as on wolsier.de . The patronage of Albrecht Ludwig von der Hagen was noted in the church accounting book in 1710, and the walls tell of many ups and downs over the centuries.
The church, which is over 270 years old, urgently needs renovations, including the West facade and the tower. The estimated costs for the first construction phase amount to around 129,500 euros. Various funding programs, such as the Financial support of funding programs for church buildings, could play a crucial role. For example, the German Foundation for Monument Protection offers support and a subsidy of up to 50 % of the costs in the restoration.
Currently, various events are planned to take place in the church after the renovation. A children's cinema under the startered sky, cultural events and scientific events that could make the region could make even more attractive to visitors are conceivable. The association has already started donations to secure the own contribution. An action, the "three-church run", brought 1800 euros for the project and shows the great commitment in the community.
The vision of the Sternenkirche
The idea of revitalizing the church as a star church should not only benefit the community, but also attract tourists and make the cultural heritage of Wolsier tangible. This could also include the integration of sleeping options for pilgrims. The association is still actively looking for other donations in order to advance the renovation and to preserve this historical place for cross -generational use.
whether with historical value, artistic events or as a place of reflection - the Wolsierer Church has the potential to become a living center for culture and community. Now it is time to hold together and actively promote the project!
