Apostelkirche

The faithful of the majority Protestant church village and the northern and western building communities, which all belonged to the dominion of Rheda, shared the church with the Catholic faithful, who came from the southern and eastern building communities belonging to the prince bishopric of Osnabrück.

[2] The three-nave hall church was largely destroyed by bombs on the Sunday of Death in 1944, and several citizens who had sought shelter in it died.

[3][4] The foundation stone for today's building was laid in 1951 according to plans by Werner March, who had also designed the Olympiastadion Berlin.

At the back of the church a sculpture by the sculptor Willy Meller, created in 1955 and known for numerous works in the service of National Socialism, commemorates the victims of the Second World War.
