Archion.de 3-Month or 1-Year Passes on Sale from April 22 thru May 6, 2022

 If you have ancestors from Germany who were Evangelische in religion, you may have heard of the Archion.de website. It was founded in 2016 by the Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland with eleven regional Evangelische churches. The website has continued to grow through the years and currently has over 125,000 church books digitized and now 23 partner archives which include primarily protestant archives as well as archives of dioceses, states, towns and associations.

From today, April 22, 2022, through Friday, May 6 2022, Archion.de is having sale on 3-month or 1-year passes.

Passes -- Paid-Access starting from time of purchase.

3-Month Pass is regularly €52.20 now on sale for €44 including VAT
This pass allows an individual user to access the digital church book archive for three months (90 days) starting from the date of subscription, as well as up to 150 image

At this time, vouchers or coupons are not on sale. Vouchers/Coupons allow an individual user to access the digital church book archive for period purchased starting from the date of redemption by the recipient. You have two years to activate a voucher/coupon.

You must create an account prior to making a purchase. Or be logged in with an existing account. Purchases can be made using a credit card or PayPal. Passes and Vouchers do not automatically renew.

The Archion website is in German with some English translated website pages. You are able to browse the contents of the website for free meaning what is available. Uploaded digitized church books are shaded in green. If a location or book is not shaded in green than it is not yet uploaded. The forum boards are also free but you must be logged into the website and have the site in German (DE.)

The church books are organized first by the regional holding archive and the regional division and the parish location where you can then see what records types and time periods are available. At this time the digitized church records are mostly NOT electronically indexed so this is a browse and manually search like you would have done in the days of microfilm. And yes, the record images are in German in that old Schrift handwriting for the most part.

Here is a relatively current list of the provinces and archives included on the Archion.de website. Church books are added daily. Generally, in batches from three or so different archives each month. The monthly email newsletter usually informs what was recently added, what is currently being added, and what will be added next.
