From the local history book of Dr. Ernst Brod Patersberg: The Patersberg church was probably built between 800 and 900, and its nave was completed in the 11th century. The 33-meter-high church tower with its loopholes was completed in 1528.

From A. Hell Patersberg's local history: The church tower was added in 1400 and is 33 meters high. It houses three bells: a small bell cast in 1558, a small patron bell cast in 1818 in Stralsund, and a large bell from 1778. The church tower burned down three times: in 1546 by lightning, in 1584 by a major fire in the upper village, and in 1890, when the lower part of the village was almost completely burned down by flying sparks. That's the story from the local history.
