Panorama (Horizontal) of the Holy Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, Warsaw, Poland

Details best viewed in Original Size.

The Holy Trinity Church, also known as Zug's Protestant Church, is a Lutheran church in central Warsaw, Poland, and one of two Augsburg Evangelical temples in the city. Designed by Szymon Bogumił Zug, it is one of the largest churches in Warsaw and one of the most notable for its round design. The king's banker, Piotr Tepper, made efforts to build the church and in 1777 he obtained the appropriate privilege from King Stanisław August Poniatowski The king however reserved for himself the right of choosing the design of the building. The church was designed by Szymon Bogumił Zug and constructed in 1777–1782. On 30 December 1781 the congregation's pastor Gottlieb Ringeltaube celebrated the inauguration of the church.
It is a Classical rotunda based partly on the Roman Pantheon. The Lutheran church was the highest and at the same time one of the biggest buildings of 18th century Warsaw. The diameter of the dome was 33.4 meters and the height was 58 meters. The huge dome with magnificent lantern tower still dominates the nearby buildings. It upholds the spirit of pure classicism. As the tallest building in Warsaw at that time it served as vantage point for the Polish Army during the Kościuszko Uprising. In the beginning of the 19th century the church was renowned of the music performances accompanying the service. Among the famous musicians, who gave concerts here was Frédéric Chopin. In April 1825 in the presence of tsar Alexander I of Russia, he played on the choralion (aeolimelodicon). The church fell into ruin when bombed and burnt by the Germans on September 16, 1939. It was rebuilt after the war (1948-53). Inside, visitors are impressed by its double gallery encircling the interior. Because of its acoustic improvements and a splendid organ, the Warsaw Chamber Opera (Warszawska Opera Kameralna) regularly organizes concerts of classical music here.

Newquay

The former Newquay United Reformed Church stands at the north-west corner of Bank Street and The Crescent, with its back to Newquay's main beach.

The building was constructed in 1888 as Newquay Congregational Chapel. It began a Sunday School in 1883, and added a church hall in 1902. Dormer windows were added to the building in 1908, but the building burnt down in 1924. It was rebuilt the following year.

It is still an active church in the town. Its members decided in 2022 to leave the URC and it is now known as Newquay Evangelical Church.

Oberpetersdorf
Oberpetersdorf is a district of Kobersdorf in the Oberpullendorf district. The Hungarian place name is Felsöpéterfalva (old: Peturnémeti), the Croatian Gornji Petrstof. According to Statistics Austria, the population is 596 (January 1, 2021).

Oberpetersdorf is overlooked by the Catholic church built on a hill. The quiet and wooded surroundings of the town are the ideal area for those seeking relaxation.

History (History section: www.kobersdorf.at): A deed of gift from the Hungarian nobleman Pousa from 1222 confirms the existence of the town of Oberpetersdorf. This document describes exactly the boundaries of the territory of the Hungarian King Andrew II; In it, the current Oberpetersdorf, for the first time "villa petri comitis", the village of Count Peter, is mentioned in a document.

Around 1302, the Counts of Mattersdorf Simon II and Michael acquired 200 Vienna denarii in Oberpetersdorf. In 1346, the Counts of Mattersburg 's possessions were divided between the descendants of Nicholas the German and Nicholas the Hungarian , which began the decline of the family. When the area of ​​the Kobersdorf rule came to the Forchtenstein counts, Oberpetersdorf and the area of ​​the later Kalkgruben were united with the Kobersdorf rule . In 1445, Count Wilhelm von Forchtenstein pledged Kobersdorf Castle with the Pertinence of Oberpetersdorf to Duke Albrecht of Austria, and he in turn sold it to Emperor Friedrich III in 1451. This marked the beginning of the Habsburg period for the community, which ended in 1626. The rule of Kobersdorf came to the Weißpriach family in 1452 as a result of a further pledge, who also initiated a change of faith in our community due to their leaning towards the Reformation. Weißpriach joined the Reformation with other Austrian nobles.

From 1564 Johann Csóron de Devecser was Baron von Kobersdorf . Around 1568 he founded Lindgraben , Tschurndorf and Neudorf . In 1585 Oberpetersdorf was divided between Csóron's daughters. As a result, the property fragmented among the heirs and the Csóron family died out. In 1638 Johann Kery took over control. His son Franz Kery and the administrator Andreas Miklossy used force to convert their subjects to the Catholic faith. In 1704, the Kobersdorf estate was acquired by Paul Esterházy. Today the Esterházys still own large agricultural and forestry areas, which are managed and managed by the foundations.

Until compulsory education was introduced in 1769, children received their education in parish schools. From this time on, all children from neighboring communities attended the Protestant or Catholic school in Kobersdorf . In 1888 the Evangelicals in Oberpetersdorf bought a farmhouse and converted it into a school for their children.

In the post-war period, several projects were undertaken by the community and interest groups, such as: 1950 the power supply, in 1952 the wooden belfry was replaced by a solid structure, in 1959 the community cooling system and a cattle scale, in 1957 the milk collection point, in 1958 the first rescue car and a Engine sprayer for the local fire department, 1960-62 the new building of the elementary school, the start of construction of the sewer system for local area drainage and the construction of the new sports field, 1964 the start of road construction, 1967-69 the construction of the community center with 3 apartments. 1970-71 the further construction of the local road, the construction of the local water pipe, the expansion of the sewerage systems and the gradual expansion of the community roads. Completion of the road expansion at the end of 2002. Handover of a new rescue vehicle for the Oberpetersdorf volunteer fire department in May 2003. (History section: www.kobersdorf.at)

Clubs: Clubs and sociability are highly valued in the town. There is a football club, a branch of the Bgld. Volksbildungswerk, an interdenominational fraternity, the volunteer fire department, a motorcyclist club, savings associations, the beekeeping and fruit growing association. They all laid a foundation for the preservation of the village community and the preservation of customs.

The annual biker meeting in Oberpetersdorf is very popular with motorcycle enthusiasts from home and abroad.

Culture and sights:
Belfry: In 1952 the wooden belfry was replaced by a solid structure.
Catholic branch church of St. John the Baptist: ObjectID: 50038, 7332 Oberpetersdorf, Hauptstraße 72, the chapel to the east above the town was originally a Romanesque fortified church. The rectangular building with a small roof turret has been repeatedly redesigned and restored, but still has Romanesque slit windows on the east side. The structure of the former high altar and the figures inside date from the 18th century.
War memorial: The soldiers' memorial is located next to the cemetery. It is a square column on a two-tiered pedestal, crowned with a cross.

Golden Crucifix in the church of Reconciliation :: Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, Berlin

This figure of the resurrected Christ is suspended above the altar and is directly in front of everyone who enters. It was designed by Karl Hemmeter. The church building was built beside the old church which was devastated in 1943 by Allied air raids on Berlin during World War II.
This church is the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (in German: Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche, but mostly just known as Gedächtniskirche) is part of the Evangelical Church in Germany. Together the remains of the bombed church and the building erected between 1959 and 1963, represent reconciliation - which is also attested to by the gift of the cross from Coventry Cathedral in England that was also bombed during World War II, by German air raids. The Coventry Cross fashioned from roofing nails that remained after the incendiary bombing tells of the expressed desire to forgive. "Father Forgive" is engraved on the ruins of the altar at Coventry. It is not accidental that the new church in Berlin and the new Coventry Cathedral have similar elements in their design, inluding high glass walls of coloured light, as well as retaining the ruins of the bombed chuch buildings.
The crucified, resurrected and glorified Christ is pre-eminent in both sanctuaries, Berlin and Coventry.
