Stumm-Kirche
Stumm-Kirche stands in Brebach-Fechingen, a district of Saarbrücken, as a former evangelical church and protected monument. Its neoromanic facade combines pilasters, arcades, round-arched windows and a west tower.
Ferdinand Schorbach from Hanover designed the building, constructed between 1880 and 1882 for Carl Ferdinand von Stumm-Halberg. The church served the Stumm family and evangelical workers from the Halbergerhütte, with a north entrance for the family’s carriages. A rectangular hall, flat wooden ceiling and semicircular apse shape the interior, which also held religious artworks. After restoration following the Second World War, the building lost its religious use in 1972. Agricultural use followed, including a sheep barn and storage hall, while partial restoration took place around the turn of the millennium.
A cedar-wood cross from the Garden of Gethsemane once connected this Saarbrücken church with Stumm’s journey through Palestine.
