St. Laurentius Church Kirchgellersen

Highlight • Religious Site

The place name “Kercgeldersehen” was first mentioned in 1263 in a document from the Lüne Benedictine monastery. On November 22, 1313, the founding of a Premonstratensian monastery in Kirchgellersen, as a gift from the knight Lippold von Dhoren, is recorded in a document.
The sources do not provide any information about the exact time of the founding of the St. Laurentius Church. However, the local history researcher Friedrich Wilhelm Reineke paints the following picture of the first church in Kirchgellersen: "We have to imagine the little church as a half-timbered building with a thatched roof, which probably already had a free-standing wooden bell tower (...) In 1644 the old half-timbered church was replaced by a Field stone building replaced with vault. "


During the Thirty Years War, the church was looted and devastated several times.

In 1856 the old church was torn down, and on Easter of the same year construction of today's church in neo-Gothic style began. It was inaugurated in 1859.

The 44 meter high bell tower of the current building was not erected until 1904, and a new tower clock with four dials was also installed. The ringing of the two bells, the larger from 1607, the smaller from 1717, can even be heard as far as Lüneburg in a westerly wind.

A wonderful cycle path that is almost as wide as the road next to it. If you come from the direction of Südergellersen, it goes downhill and it almost drives itself.
