Reformations-Gedächtnis-Kirche

The Reformations-Gedächtnis-Kirche stands in Eggenfelden as a Protestant church and recognised cultural monument under Bavarian heritage law. Its congregation includes Eggenfelden and surrounding towns such as Falkenberg, Geratskirchen, and Wurmannsquick.

The building began as a beer hall in 1901 before becoming a prayer hall, cinema, and church. The congregation officially dedicated the church on 7 November 1937. A vaulted cellar beneath the church was once connected by a tunnel to the former Franciscan monastery. The south tower replaced an unsafe roof turret in 1962. Renovations in 1979 and 1980 rotated the nave and replaced pews with chairs for flexible community use.

Georg Jann’s organ, installed in 1986, replaced an earlier instrument from 1955. The present bells were cast in Heilbronn and installed in 1992. The interior also features a tapestry by Christa May, a bronze corpus, and a copper entrance door. Worship, concerts, meditation, children’s Bible days, and LEGO activities share this adaptable space in Eggenfelden. The church belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria through the Regensburg church district and Passau deanery. Its story traces Protestant community growth across Eggenfelden and nearby Lower Bavarian villages.
