Tips from the Community

Thorstix
June 20, 2024, Autobahnkirche St. Pankratius Rothenschirmbach

Near the A38 motorway, the St. Pankratius motorway church in Rothenschirmbach is one of four motorway churches in Saxony-Anhalt. Not just for drivers, it is a resting place for the soul - as motorway churches are often called. A dedicated support group of volunteers ensures that the church is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., there is a toilet, fresh water and an opportunity to rest. You have the opportunity to light a candle, leave your worries or wishes in a box with prayer requests and, of course, to immortalize yourself in the guest book. A QR code takes you to: https://www.prelude-orgel.info/sa_06295_stpkrsb/ and you get information and an acoustic impression of the organ. The church also has a 4,000-year-old child's grave on display, which was found during archaeological excavations during the construction of the nearby motorway. A permanent loan from the State Office for Monument Preservation.

After the old church could no longer be saved in 1890, today's church was built in 1893. The church has served as a motorway church since 2006.
