A roof beam found in 1995 was dendrochronologically dated to 1230; however, since it was in secondary use, the church can hardly have been built before 1240. Nevertheless, it is undoubtedly one of the oldest village churches in Berlin and the Mittelmark, where a village church that is certainly older is not known.
