Evangelical Church Medebach

The Protestant Church is a listed church building in Medebach in the Hochsauerland district.

The history of the church is closely linked to the history of the parish. After the abolition of the ecclesiastical principalities and the denominational seclusion in 1804, the first Protestant Christians moved into the Medebach area. When the community was founded on 22 January 1837, it had 149 members in Medebach and 16 other villages. At that time, the service was celebrated in the "Türkensaal" of the Schetter inn. In 1838, the presbytery applied for a house collection to be carried out throughout the province of Westphalia for the construction of a church. This collection yielded 1700 thalers, 400 thalers were donated by King Frederick William III, and 100 thalers came from the Synod of Soest, to which Medebach belonged. This meant that 2200 thalers were available for the construction of the church.
