Gedächtniskirche Schönefeld

The church was inaugurated on 16 April 1820; the tower was completed end of that year, and the bells were consecrated on 25 August 1839.

Interior features were provided by 27 sponsors from Leipzig, mostly merchants, including a marble altar (no longer extant) and silver chandeliers and communion sets.

Hedwig von Eberstein [de] donated a baptism table made in Jerusalem from olive tree wood, with a silver bowl, in 1870.

In 1869 a steam heating and gas lighting were installed, and the chancel was moved from the centre to the south side, replaced by a high Cross.

In 2017 the parish invested in cleaning and tuning the Eule organ, installing a ramp for handicapped visitors, restoring the interior to the original colour plan, and modernising the lighting and heating to comply with current standards.
