Dorfkirche Lübars, Baroque church in Lübars, Berlin, Germany.
Dorfkirche Lübars is a Protestant hall church on the village green of Alt-Lübars, with a square tower set in front of the nave to the west. The plastered walls are pale yellow beneath a brown tiled roof; the tower carries a clock face and a hipped roof topped by a spire with a weather vane dated 1793. Inside, the corners of the room are rounded and a gallery runs along the west side.
Lübars was first documented in 1247 and had a medieval church, with four parish farms recorded in Charles IV's land register of 1375. A half-timbered church burned down in 1790, and the present stone hall church was built from 1791 to 1794 on its foundations. The weather vane on the tower spire carries the year 1793. Damaged in World War II, it was restored between 1950 and 1956.
The church serves as the center of community life in Lübars and hosts regular worship services and local gatherings. It remains a focal point for residents and visitors exploring this historic village area.
The church is located in the historic village center of Lübars and is easily accessible by public transportation. Visitors should be aware that the building remains an active place of worship and respect should be shown for any ongoing services or events.
The weather vane atop the tower carries the year 1793, though the church was built from 1791 to 1794 on the foundations of a half-timbered predecessor that burned in 1790. Inside, the baroque pulpit altar was donated in 1739 by King Frederick William I to the Gertraudenkirche in Berlin and reached Lübars only in 1956.
