Neue Kirche, Lutheran church in Pellworm, Germany.
Neue Kirche is a church building on Pellworm Island with a slender steeple and simple design typical of northern German ecclesiastical architecture. The interior displays regional craftsmanship through carved woodwork and ornamental details throughout.
The building was constructed in the 19th century using materials available on the island and became a spiritual center for the community. It developed into an important gathering place for islanders before significant journeys and events.
The name reflects its role as a newer place of worship compared to earlier chapels on the island. Visitors can still observe handcrafted woodwork and decorative details inside that demonstrate the skill of local artisans.
The church is located centrally on the island and is easily reached on foot with clear signage from main paths. The building is regularly open for visitors, especially around services and local events.
The building contains stones and materials sourced directly from the island, creating a physical link between the structure and its location. This detail gives the church a special local rootedness that many visitors overlook.
