Evangelical Church

The Protestant Church in Steinsfurt, a district of the large district town of Sinsheim in the Rhein-Neckar district in northern Baden-Württemberg, was consecrated in 1937 and replaced the subsequently secularized Old Protestant Church.

Steinsfurt was reformed in 1556 during the Reformation in the Electoral Palatinate. From the 17th century, there was a Reformed, a Lutheran, and a Catholic congregation. The historical church of the place came to the Catholic congregation during the Palatine Church Division in 1705 but was still used by Lutherans and Reformed until the 1760s. The Lutherans built their own church in 1767, and the Reformed constructed the Reformed church building starting in 1769. After the merger of Lutherans and Reformed into the Protestant Regional Church in Baden, the Lutheran church was sold in 1823 and the Reformed church was used by the united congregation. The church was already in a state of disrepair by the end of the 19th century. Plans for a new building were significantly delayed due to World War I, so the foundation stone for the present church was not laid until 1936, and the church was occupied in the following year.
