Evangelische Kirche Großsachsen, Protestant church in Hirschberg an der Bergstraße, Germany.

The Evangelische Kirche Großsachsen features a baroque architectural design with an elevated tower and a Romanesque chancel arch in its lower section.

The original church from 1430, dedicated to Mary Magdalene, was destroyed by French forces in 1674 and subsequently reconstructed between 1724 and 1761.

The church transitioned from Catholic to Protestant during the Reformation of 1556 and maintained a shared usage arrangement with Catholics from 1698 to 1705.

Regular Protestant services take place in the church, with special events such as baptisms, family services, and choir performances scheduled throughout the year.

During renovations in 2005, workers discovered the burial site of Johann Adam Straub, a Palatine officer who owned the historical Untere Mühle mill.
