- Gerda Arendt - QPQ is done. Is large enough, nominated in time. Picture is appropriately licensed for the main page. I don't see it specifically stated in the article that the church does not serve a parish, in fact it states it is a venue for services? Also the first sentence under "history" is not sourced at all.

The typical problem when you translate from German. I will try to find sources, but difficult to find a source for something that is not ;) - It's isolated, away from houses, - yes, individual services are held, but no regular parish as this one near by. For the Berger Kirche, you have the town of Brechen and the Freundeskreis, no parish. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:18, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

[1] says that it was a parish church until 1571, then cemetery church (Friedhofskirche) for Werschau. Not the best of sources, but probably - as the other history - taken from the book on which the German article is based, but that I don't have, so couldn't supply page numbers. I'll keep looking, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:49, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

I think I was more lucky this round of searching, please look again, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:30, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that the Berger Kirche (pictured), more than thousand years old and a parish church until 1571, serves now the surrounding graveyard and as a concert venue?

Better wording welcome ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:37, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Gerda Arendt there are two different souces called "Kirchbau" now? MPJ-DK 20:05, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, copied and forgot to give a different name, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:36, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

good to go now. Struck the original just to be sure it did not get picked up for prep. MPJ-DK 21:07, 13 July 2016 (UTC)

The hook is still rather clunky. How about:

ALT2: ... that the ancient Berger Kirche (pictured) is now used as a cemetery chapel and concert venue? Cwmhiraeth (talk)

Thank you for the suggestion, but I think thousand years is more precise than ancient, - but it may be my lack of English. For me, ancient means Old Egyptian and Greek.

ALT3: ... that the Berger Kirche (pictured), more than thousand years old, is now used as a cemetery chapel and concert venue? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:11, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

Approving ALT3 and reinstating tick as per MPJ-DK. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 04:52, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
