About the location
In the middle of the 18th century, the time came when the former church in Cunewalde no longer met the requirements: it was too small and dilapidated. Several families could no longer buy a seat for themselves in the church. So the up-and-coming congregation decided to build a new church. It was to provide space for many people, so that it would never happen again that someone would not find a seat in this church. Lack of money forced several pauses in the construction. Nevertheless, many people gave their best. Poor weavers took a mortgage on their land in order to be able to contribute to the construction of the church with a donation. Lotteries were held to raise money. On the 4th of Advent in 1793 the church was consecrated with a festive service. The concert of Tenebrae musically traces a pilgrimage, while the final concert with Maxim Vengerov will mainly sound the music of the 19th century.
Accessibility
The main entrance to the church is accessed via four steps. Wheelchairs can enter the church via the rear entrance.
Parking
There are a few parking spaces right next to the church. Further parking spaces are available about 200 metres away, on »An der Wolfsschlucht« and on »Erlenweg«.
Toilets
The nearest toilet is located in the church office opposite and is suitable for disabled people, but is not entirely accessible. It can be reached via a flight of stairs inside the building or, from outside, via a steep, paved path.
