Address: Erbe Rd just N of W Blue Mounds Rd Operated: Pastors: Notes: This church was formed by a group of German Lutherans. In 1867 a small frame church was built on land purchased from Justus Heuser. Soon after a parochial school was built in a nearby valley. The school taught lesson in Christian values in the native Germany language. In 1923 the school building was sold and moved to a nearby farm. In 1997 the building was purchased, moved and restored to the cemetery grounds. The congregation eventually moved to Mt. Horeb and became known as Immanuel Lutheran Church. |
