Erlöserkirche, Protestant church in Boffzen, Germany

Erlöserkirche is a five-bay hall church in the Weser Baroque style, built from 1730 to 1737. It has a polygonal choir, a slate-clad gable turret with a hood, and a roof covered in Solling slabs. The windows, originally rectangular, were given round-arched tops around 1880.

Founded by Corvey Abbey and first documented in 1231, the church was under the Archdeaconry of Höxter in the Diocese of Paderborn. Reformation was introduced in 1542, reversed in 1547, and made permanent in 1568 under Duke Julius. The medieval church, devastated in 1646 during the Thirty Years' War, was demolished in 1730 as dilapidated and replaced by the present building, completed in 1737.

The name Erlöserkirche, Redeemer Church, has only been used since 1986. The parish belongs to the Kirchenkreis Holzminden-Bodenwerder within the Evangelical-Lutheran Landeskirche of Hanover. The Boffzen parsonage appears as a setting in Wilhelm Raabe's novel Hastenbeck, set during the Seven Years' War, where the fictional pastor Gottlieb Holtnicker and his family live.

The church stands in the village centre of Boffzen, in the Holzminden district of Lower Saxony. Visitors approach it on foot through the village lanes; the surrounding parish grounds and the nearby parish house are best reached on foot, as parking in the village centre is limited.

The church has borne the name Erlöserkirche only since 1986; before that it was simply the parish church of Boffzen. Its 1736 pulpit altar was donated by the war and domain councillor Redecker from Vlotho, and the organ built by Elmar Krawinkel in 2002 reuses the main chest and several stops of the 1850 Euler instrument.
