It is significant as possibly retaining the oldest existing structure, its tower, in southern Lower Saxony. While the details of the origin of the church building have been lost in the mist of history, architectural analysis indicates that the Romanesque church tower was most likely built in the tenth or eleventh century. The remains of a hearth on the second floor have led to the conclusion that the tower was originally a ''Wohnturm'' (a residential tower) of a titled family, probably the Herren von Ellershausen, which lived there at the time.〔(Eckhard Kupke, Ursula Huck: ''Denkmale, Brunnen und Natur in Groß Ellershausen''. Groß Ellershausen, 2001. S. 11f )〕 The church's ship is much younger, probably having been built or re-built during the Barocque era. It was repaired in 1838. .〔Ilse Röttgerodt-Riechmann, 1993, Christiane Segers-Glocke. ''Stadt Göttingen. Sammelwerk=Denkmaltopographie Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Baudenkmale in Niedersachsen'' Vol.5 Nr.1. CW Niemeyer: Hameln.〕 Records from 1608 and 1610 indicate there were two bells in the church. The larger of the two was melted down during the First World War as part of the national effort to obtain metals for military purposes. In 1922, two steel bells were dedicated as replacements. Then in 2003 three new bronze bells of unequal sizes were installed. Each of the bells has a Latin word inscribed (''Soli'', ''Deo'' and ''Gloria, meaning "only to God the honor"). The bells are rung by an electrically run system, with various combinations and sequences signifying various things.〔(Läutordnung und Bilder der Glocken )〕 It currently houses a Lutheran congregation. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Martin's Church, Groß Ellershausen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
