Kripplein Christi

Kripplein Christi is a Protestant church in Glandorf built with wooden frame construction and zinc-plated tile roofing. The building holds approximately 248 people in its main hall, with additional seating available in a community room and gallery.

The building was originally constructed in 1912 in Holsen-Ahle and relocated to Glandorf in 1952 to house Protestant refugees from Silesia. The move reflected the need to provide a place of worship for people displaced from their homeland.

The church serves as a gathering place for Protestant believers in a predominantly Catholic region. It hosts regular services and youth meetings where the community comes together.

The building is located at Krankenhausstraße 5 and easily accessible, with ample space in the main church and a community room for various gatherings. Visitors should check ahead about meeting times, as regular activities take place throughout the week.

The name Kripplein Christi references a church in former Fraustadt, now Wschowa in Poland, linking the community to its Silesian heritage. This naming choice preserves the memory of the homeland left behind by the refugees who found shelter here.
