• Notes

  St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church, New Dundee The congregation was organized by Rev. Ludwig H. Gerndt of New Hamburg on July 4, 1859. Rev. Gerndt (1859-1862) was followed by Revs. G. Schmidt (1862-1863) and J.L. Rau (1863-1865). Rev. Rau, became the first resident pastor in 1863 and was followed by Rev. Christian F. Spring who also served the churches at New Hamburg and Baden from 1867-1888. A church was built during the ministry of Rev. Rau at which time the congregation was served in a Parish with Strasburg, Mannheim, Plattsville, and Berlin. The first church building was dedicated on October 18, 1863, and was dismantled some 90 years later on July 9, 1953 after the congregation had moved into a new church building located on the same site (cornerstone laid Nov. 9, 1952; church dedicated July 12, 1953). New Dundee has been served in various parishes over the years. In 1872 the congregation was in a parish with Princeton, Plattsville and Strasburg - all four churches served from New Dundee. In 1888 the Parish consisted of New Dundee, Mannheim, Plattsville and Strasburg. Beginning in 1904 the church was joined to Baden. _________________________ Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church - New Hamburg Begun: 1834 Trinity was another of the early Lutheran congregations of Waterloo County organized c.1834 by the Rev. F.W. Bindemann in response to the arrival of new settlers in the area. About the year 1845 the need for a place of worship became evident and the first church (white frame) was eventually built in 1851 at the corner of Wilmot and Church Streets, facing Wilmot Street, under the leadership of Pastor Wendlin Schuler (1841-1852). The church building was dedicated by Rev. Charles F. Diehl on December 4, 1853. Rev. Diehl resigned in 1854 and was followed by Frederick T. Feysel, Gustav A. Reiche and Ludwig H. Gerndt (1858-1859). The congregation began to thrive with the arrival of Pastor Christian Frederick Spring on February 18, 1867. He was to minister to the congregation for the next 21 years. Land adjacent to the church property was purchased for future expansion and over the years improvements were made to the building. A parsonage was built in 1888. The church was replaced in 1910 by the present church. When a decision was made to build the new church, there was disagreement as to the location. The result was the construction of two new churches - Trinity, on the site of the old church, and St. Peter's Lutheran at the corner of Huron and Union Streets. The date on Trinity Lutheran Church is July 24, 1910, the date of the cornerstone laying. Dedication services were held on March 26, 1911. An addition to the church was built in 1957. The old church had been sold at auction on April 15, 1911 and removed to another site to be converted into a home.. Ambrose, Rosemary.
