Petrus-Lotichius-Church of Niederzell, Evangelical church in Niederzell, Germany.
The Petrus-Lotichius-Church is an evangelical place of worship with a nave measuring 13 meters long and seating for around 240 people. The building features a cross-shaped design and a prominent tower with two levels housing the bells.
Construction began in 1909 when the growing community outgrew its previous meeting space in a converted town building. The church was completed in 1911 and became an independent evangelical center for the area.
The church takes its name from Petrus Lotichius, a 16th-century humanist poet from this region who studied across Europe and left a mark on Latin literature. His connection links the community to the intellectual movements of the Renaissance.
The church houses three bells from 1911 mounted in a two-story steel bell frame. The interior features an updated organ installed in 1998, making the space well-suited for regular worship services.
During a comprehensive renovation in 2006, contemporary design elements by artist Tobias Kammerer were integrated into the Romanesque structure. These modern additions create a dialogue between historical and contemporary aesthetics within the interior.
