Bethaus der Baptisten in Felde
Bethaus der Baptisten in Felde, Baptist prayer house in Felde, Westerstede, Germany
The Baptist prayer house stands as a simple red-roofed structure with a long hall containing 350 seats and two front rooms in Felde district.
Built in 1850, this prayer house remains the oldest standing Baptist church building in continental Europe, as earlier ones in Hamburg and Berlin were destroyed.
The building emerged after Frerich Bohlken's requests to share the Lutheran church were denied, leading the Baptist community to construct their own place of worship.
The prayer house continues to serve for special religious ceremonies and funeral services, located at Wittenheimstraße 22 near the Baptist cemetery in Westerstede.
Johann Gerhard Oncken secured roof tiles and funds from England and the United States to support the construction of this prayer house.
