Leer Lutheran Church
The Leer Lutheran Church, also known as the Norwegian Lutheran Church is a church located at 10430 South Leer Road, near Leer in Long Rapids Township, Michigan. The church grounds include a parish house, cemetery, and pavilion, as well as the church itself. The church is substantially the same as when it was built. Highlights include an altar painting by Sarah Kirkeberg Raugland, and an unusual pressed metal interior in the parish house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.〔
==History==
By the 1870s, the town of Alpena had a sizable Norwegian community, many members of which had recently emigrated from Lier, Norway. With money from their lumbering jobs, members of the community purchased nearby land and founded the community of Leer, with the first permanent settlers arriving in the town in 1879. In 1882, a Norwegian Lutheran Church Society was organized in Leer at the home of Andreas and Gunhild Christopherson. The Reverend Peder lsberg, pastor of the Norwegian Lutheran congregation in Alpena, agreed to travel to Leer four times yearly for services. The Leer congregation met in a local school, and started a building fund with the intention of constructing a church.
In 1883, the congregation purchased a plot of land for $1.00 from Karl Burud, on the condition that it be used for a church and cemetery.〔 The first burial in the cemetery occurred in 1885. By 1898, the fund drive was nearing completion, and a building committee was appointed to determine construction details. The final design was based on a German Lutheran church (no longer extant) located in nearby Krakow Township in Presque Isle County. The cornerstone of the church was laid on September 7, 1899, and the remainder of the church was constructed by carpenter Joseph F. Bammel for $3,000. It was completed in 1900.
In 1916, a parish house was constructed for $800.〔 The parish house served as the social and educational center of the congregation. The church was modernized in the 1930s and 1940s, with the addition of electrification, a water system, and updated heating. Stained glass windows were installed in 1941-42. A single-story addition to the parish house was constructed in 1963. As of 2014, the church is still being used for services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Leer Lutheran Church )〕
