St. Barnabas

St. Barnabas is a red brick church standing on a hilltop in the village of Lübars within Möckern. The building features a bell tower and windows arranged in a straightforward style typical of rural German Protestant churches from the 19th century.

The church was built during the 19th century as part of Germany's Protestant expansion following the Reformation. It later gained protection as a heritage monument due to its regional architectural significance in Saxony-Anhalt.

The local congregation gathers here for Lutheran worship and prayer meetings that shape the spiritual life of the village. This place remains central to how the community marks religious occasions and celebrations.

The church is typically open for Sunday services, though visitors interested in viewing the interior should check ahead with local contacts. The elevated location on a hilltop means approaching on foot involves a short walk upward.

The church was built using locally made red bricks sourced from clay pits near the village, a practice that was standard for rural churches in the region. This local construction method connects the building to the landscape and materials of the area.
