Many members of the Maass family were baptized, confirmed, and married in the Evangelical Church in Hohen Schönau. However, it appears that only the bell tower remains from their time, the current brick sanctuary was built in the 1890's. David, Friederike and several of their grandchildren died in Hohen Schönau and would have been buried in the church cemetery which has since been obliterated.
