St. Katharina Church Niederau

Highlight • Religious Site

Previously, there was said to have been a small chapel on the site of the church, which was demolished in 1680. The new church was inaugurated after just one year of construction. The baroque pulpit can be proven to date from 1774. The Freiberg miners who were employed in the construction of the Oberauer tunnel were allowed to use the church for prayer in 1837-39. As a thank you they donated a red altar curtain on which the Saxon coat of arms, the miner's salute "Glück auf" and the year 1838 are embroidered. (Source niederau.info/)

St. Jakobus Church Niederau

Highlight • Religious Site

St. James' Church and Parish House, Niederau.

Information:

As early as 1585, it was documented that the old St. James' Church could no longer accommodate the number of its visitors. After various repairs and renovations, the church was completely rebuilt in its present form in 1878 and consecrated on January 19, 1879. On April 27, 1945, the church tower burned down as a result of shelling. It was rebuilt in 1950.

The current parish house was built in 1843. The pastor, who has been responsible for both the Niederau and Oberau churches since 1829, lives here.
