Kirche Seifersdorf, Lutheran church in Wachau, Germany
Kirche Seifersdorf is a Lutheran church building located in Wachau, Saxony. The property contains thirteen gravestones, several outbuildings, and a wall that encloses the entire religious complex.
The church was first documented in 1312 and later came under the control of Alt-Zella monastery. Burgrave Otto II von Dohna played a key role by transferring the entire settlement to the monastery.
The Kirchhof served as both a burial ground and a meeting place where the community gathered for events and celebrations. This enclosed yard formed the heart of parish life beyond just religious purposes.
The church is located on Kirchberg street in Seifersdorf and can be easily reached using GPS coordinates. Visitors should allow time to explore the entire grounds including the outbuildings and boundary wall.
In 1699, notorious robber Lips Tullian broke into the church twice, stealing exactly 37 thalers, 16 groschen, and 9 pfennigs. This unusually precise record of a theft offers insight into the dangers that even small communities faced at that time.
