The distinct higher age of the building could be documented with the help of dendrochronological investigations. According to that the choir was already completed shortly after 1175, the Saal (spezial form of a hall) about 1192. Apparently it was originally intended as a Saal church aisleless church with Chorquadrat and Apse. This represents a type widespread in Central Germany. The high age of the church of Ludwigsdorf gives reason to rethink again the beginning and process of the Ostsiedlung. Previously it was assumed that not until around 1200 a great many of settlers came to the Neisse Valley.
