St. Marienkirche was the German name of St. Mary's German Lutheran Church, which was originally at St. Mary le Savoy Precinct, The Strand, London - 51°30'36.78"N, 0°07'08.46"W. PHK provides the following notes:
... from 1694...the Germans living in Westminster moved out from the "Hamburg" Lutheran church in the City of London...being given the use of a church in the Savoy Palace, near where Waterloo Bridge now stands. This is the church of St. Mary-le Savoy, not to be confused either with the Queen's Chapel in the Savoy (the only surviving part of the palace buildings), or with St. Mary-le Strand.The "church" was moved several times (the original building was demolished during the Waterloo Bridge project, 1850-60), and the present congregation uses a chapel in Sandwich Street, London WC1 at the same site as the International Lutheran Student Centre. It is here that the Anglo-German Family History Society (AGFHS) has held its quarterly meetings since St. George's school in Alie St. E1 became unavailable.
JCK is shown as godparent to Johann Jacob Müller on 4 May 1763. A month later, Mr. (sic) Kraushaar appears in the brand-new St. Georg's German Lutheran Church in Alie Street as a godparent - 14 June 1763, the first entry - together with the same Müller couple, to a Sonnenschein child.
