Facts and practical information

St. Jürgen's Church in the district of Lilienthal in Lower Saxony of the same name is a listed Evangelical Lutheran church. The small 12th-century church with the patrocinium of St. George was regularly washed by floods until the 20th century and opened to the Reformation in 1535. Nowadays it is a popular destination for excursionists and cyclists.

In view of financial and personnel cutbacks, it became increasingly difficult to maintain a regulated independent parish life despite cooperations with neighboring churches in the first half of the 2010s. To counter this problem, St. Jürgen was merged with St. Marien at the beginning of 2015 to form the new parish of Lilienthal, which has about 8300 members and belongs to the Hanoverian state church via the Osterholz-Scharmbeck church district.
