Rotary Club supports renovation of the St. Barbara Church in Oberschwappach!

Oberschwappach, Deutschland - in Oberschwappach, a lot is going on in terms of community support. In August 2022 there was a remarkable wine tasting at the cabaret artist Oti Schmelzer, organized by the Rotary Club Erlangen-Schloss. Here, the focus was on an important project: the renovation of the St. Barbara church. This baroque architecture, built in the 18th century by master builder Joseph Greissing, is one of the listed treasures of the place and urgently needs renovation work that will cost a total of around 800,000 euros. Thanks to the voluntary support, the costs could be reduced, which brings the entire community a little closer to its destination. According to mainpost.de, the first funds flowed into the renovation, and the Rotary Club decided to donate a total of 2,000 euros.

The voluntary commitment in Oberschwappach is remarkable. Members of the church administration and numerous volunteers have put countless hours in the renovation work. This included the removal of the church benches, the dismantling of the organ and the clearing of the sacristy. In addition, the community became creative and offered cookies and self -knitted socks at the Christmas market to generate additional means. All of this shows how much the people in Oberschwappach are concerned about their church, as Oberschwappach.info reports.

important support and community spirit

The symbolic handover by a delegation of the Rotary Club was a great event. Lilo Meißner-Weißenberger and Michael Müller from the church administration accepted the check, while Oti Schmelzer expressed his joy over the support. "This funding is a real incentive for us to achieve our goal," says the club's president, Stefan Neuner. He emphasized that the Rotary Club volunteer for many non -profit purposes, including peace, fighting diseases and education. In 2024 over 40,000 euros were already passed on to donations.

With this initiative, the newly renovated St. Barbara Church should not only become a place of faith, but also a center of the community for future generations. The final goal is to celebrate the Christmas mass in the renovated church and thus create a very special place for the assembly of the believers.
