Moorlose Kirche, Gothic Revival church in Burglesum, Germany

Moorlose Kirche is a red-brown brick church with a steep dark tiled roof over its long nave and a square tower at the west end, topped by a pyramidal spire with a weather vane. Rounded arched windows with brick surrounds line the nave, which ends in a stepped gable; a low brick porch connects tower and nave.

A church likely founded by Corvey Abbey in the 13th century stood here; a Gothic brick rebuild with a short nave, squat tower and 1350 chancel followed in the 14th century. Deemed dilapidated, it was demolished in 1845 and replaced in 1846/47 by architect Theodor Eggers' brick Gothic Revival hall church. The 1643 bell and six 18th-century coat-of-arms window panes were kept from the predecessor.

The name Moorlose comes from either the separation of the congregation from Altenesch or from drainage ditches in Werderland that were called Moorlöse. This origin reflects the place's connection to the landscape history of the region.

The church stands on Mittelsbürener Landstraße 36 at the northern bank of the Weser, next to the 1.3-hectare Mittelsbüren cemetery. A walking route along the Lesum and Weser from Bremen-Grohn or Bremen-Burg leads past the church at the edge of the Werderland nature reserve.

The church survived the demolition of Mittelsbüren village in the 1950s when most buildings were torn down to make way for the Klöckner steel plant. This survival makes it a rare witness to the area's original layout.
