First German Reformed Church was a historic church built in 1891 at 413 Wisconsin Avenue in Waukesha, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The 1891 building burned to the ground in 2005. Inside, two rows of pews faced the altar at the south end. Walls were plastered, with wooden wainscoting at the base. Space inside the nave rose to the collar beams, which supported a flat ceiling. Services were conducted entirely in German until around WWI, when they shifted to both German and English. Gradually, use of the German language dwindled.

  • First German Reformed Church was a historic church built in 1891 at 413 Wisconsin Avenue in Waukesha, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The 1891 building burned to the ground in 2005. First German's congregation began in 1866, when Prof. H. Kurtz, a missionary from Germany, organized the Erste Deutsche Reformite Kirche (First German Reformed Church) among the German-speaking immigrants in Waukesha. By 1880 the congregation had grown to 190 communicants and was worshiping in a large stone structure built in 1840 to house the Prairieville Academy, which had moved on to become Carroll College. By 1890 First German had outgrown its building, so they decided to tear it down and build a new church on the same site. The floor-plan of the 1891 building was a 39 by 71 foot rectangular. The walls were wood frame clad in cream brick, on a raised foundation of rock-faced Waukesha limestone blocks. The walls were broken by tall round-arched windows, and separated into bays by pilasters in the brick. At the center of the north end stood a large rectangular tower, with the church's main entrance originally at its bottom. The first stage of the tower was brick, the second stage was a wood-sided lantern, and the third stage was an ornate belfry and steeple, topped with a cross. The style was High Victorian eclectic, with the symmetry and vertical lines drawn from Gothic Revival style, the rustic foundation and round arches from Romanesque Revival style, and the pilasters perhaps from Greek Revival. The architect is unknown. This 1891 building cost $8000. Inside, two rows of pews faced the altar at the south end. Walls were plastered, with wooden wainscoting at the base. Space inside the nave rose to the collar beams, which supported a flat ceiling. Services were conducted entirely in German until around WWI, when they shifted to both German and English. Gradually, use of the German language dwindled. In 1924–25, an annex (chapel) was added east of the nave to handle membership that had grown to 716. H.C. Haeuser of Milwaukee designed it to match the 1891 building, with a bit of Tudor Revival style added - yet another style. At the same time, Haeuser directed renovations inside the old nave. First German added a Wangerin-Weickhardt pipe organ in the early 1900s. In the late 1940s the congregation bought a house at the corner of Wisconsin and Maple for a new parsonage, and the old parsonage was converted to a parish house, and the old garage to a youth cottage. By the 1950s membership passed 1000, and in 1956 a modern-styled brick educational building and new vestibule entry replaced the old parsonage. In 1934, First German's denomination merged with other similar denominations into the Evangelical and Reformed Church, and First German Reformed Church changed its name to First Evangelical and Reformed Church of Waukesha. In 1956 the parent denomination merged with others to become the United Church of Christ, and the Waukesha congregation again changed its name, to Evangelical and Reformed United Church of Christ. In December 2005 a fire destroyed the old 1891 building. Little was left, so the congregation built a new church on the same site. (en)
  • La primera Iglesia Reformada alemana es una iglesia histórica construida en 1891 en 413 Avenida de Wisconsin en Waukesha, Wisconsin, Estados Unidos. Está añadida al Registro Nacional de Sitios Históricos en 1991.​ Tristemente, 1891 el edificio se quema completamente en 2005.​ La primera congregación alemana empezó en 1866, cuándo Prof. H. Kurtz, un misionero de Alemania, organizó el Erste Deutsche Reformite Kirche (Primera Iglesia Reformada alemana) entre los inmigrantes que hablan alemán en Waukesha. Por 1880 la congregación había crecido a 190 comulgantes y era adorada en una estructura de piedra grande construida en 1840 para albergar el Prairieville Academia, el cual se había movido encima para convertirse en la Universidad de Carrol. Por 1890 el primer alemán le quedó pequeño su edificio, así que decidieron desgarrarlo abajo y construir una iglesia nueva en el mismo sitio.​ El piso-plano del 1891 edificio era un 39 por 71 pie rectangular. Las paredes eran de marco de madera en ladrillo de crema, en base de levantada de roca con Waukesha bloques de caliza. Las paredes se rompieron por ronda alta-arqueó ventanas, y separados a bahías por pilastras en el ladrillo. En el centro del fin del norte estuvo una torre rectangular grande, con la entrada principal de la iglesia originalmente en su fondo. La primera etapa de la torre estaba construida con ladrillo, la segunda etapa con madera linterna, y la tercera etapa con un ornado campanario , coronado con una cruz. El estilo era Alto victoriano ecléctico , con la simetría y las líneas verticales dibujadas en estilo de Resurgimiento gótico, la base rústica y los arcos de ronda de Romanesque estilo de Resurgimiento, y las pilastras quizás de Resurgimiento griego. El arquitecto es desconocido. Este 1891 edificio costó $8000.​ En el interior, dos filas de bancos en frente del altar en el fin del sur. Las paredes estaban escayoladas, de madera wainscoting en la base. En el espacio dentro de la nave aumentaron las vigas de cuello, apoyadas en un techo plano.​ Los servicios estuvieron conducidos enteramente por alemanes hasta la WWI, cuándo desplazaron a alemanes e ingleses. Gradualmente, el uso de la lengua alemana disminuyó.​ En 1924-25, un anexo (capilla)fue añadido al este de la nave para manejar la afiliación que había crecido en 716. H.C. Haeuser De Milwaukee lo diseñó para emparejar el edificio 1891 , con un poco de estilo de Resurgimiento del añadido Tudor - aun así otro estilo. Al mismo tiempo, Haeuser dirigió renovaciones dentro de la nave vieja.​ Primer alemán añadió un Wangerin-Weickhardt órgano de tubo en el temprano @1900s. En el tardío @1940s la congregación compró una casa en la esquina de Wisconsin y #Arce para un nuevos parsonage, y el viejos parsonage estuvo convertido a una casa parroquial, y el garaje viejo a una juventud cottage. Por la @1950s afiliación pasó 1000, y en 1956 un moderno educativo edificio de ladrillo y un vestíbulo en la entrada reemplazó a la vieja parroquia.​ En 1934, la denominación del primer alemán se fusionó con otras denominaciones similares a la iglesia Evangélica y Reformada, y la Primera Iglesia Reformada alemana cambió su nombre por Primer Evangelical e Iglesia Reformada de Waukesha. En 1956 la denominación de padre se fusionó con otros para devenir la Iglesia Unida de Cristo, y la congregación Waukesha cambió otra vez su nombre , a Evangelical e Iglesia Reformada de Cristo.​ En diciembre de 2005 un fuego destruyó el viejo 1891 edificio.​ Poco quedó, así que la congregación construyó una iglesia nueva en el mismo sitio.
