This is a photograph of the church at
Neukirchen,
of the old Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany, with
the current Pastor Lange taken by Robert
Priehs. The church was built in 1233 A.D. It just
celebrated
its
750th anniversary in 1983.
Neukirchen
is in far northeastern Germany between Rostock and Buetzow.

View from Neukirchen Church Steeple
Looking over the plains of Eastern
Germany
from the church steeple. My Kruse ancestors
went to this church at
Neukirchen. They probably
walked or took a horse and carriage from
their homes in Viezen, Reinstorf,
and Klein Belitz in the
14th to 19th Centuries.
