1784

Following Joseph II's edict of tolerance in 1781, the region’s first Lutheran parish was established in Puconci on August 4, 1783. The first church was much smaller and more modest than the present one, and it was built on December 8, 1784, on a plot donated by Count Miksa Batthyány. It was named after Alexander Terplan, who served there from 1844 to 1858 as a pastor, but was also a writer and translator. On the 500th anniversary of the Reformation (2017), Puconci became the City of the European Reformation.
