The St. Bartholomew's Church is the Protestant church of the village Hötensleben in Saxony-Anhalt, named after the Apostle Bartholomew. The church building was built around 1500 in late gothic style on the site of a previous building. The previous church was probably built in the 12th century by the Schöningen Lorenzkloster. From the medieval predecessor church, the tower standing across the nave on a rectangular floor plan was preserved. The church tower is located west of the ship. To the east, the ship ends on three sides. The abutments visible on the nave were added later. After the Thirty Years' War, a comprehensive reconstruction was required, which took place in the years 1675-1680 at the instigation of the Landgrave Friedrich zu Hessen-Homburg, who had a secondary residence in Hötensleben. As part of this construction work, the tower received its octagonal tower with lantern and pointed spire. The portals on the east and west sides as well as the paired round arched windows with profiled framing of sandstone were also created during this time. The same applies to the coat of arms provided with steps in front of the east portal.
