Where to find master lists of German church records?

PeterWerner3

I've been tracing my German ancestry mainly though German Lutheran church records, digitized at Archion and Ancestry.com. There's quite a bit there, but I realize not everything that exists is digitized. Is there some kind of catalog of repository holdings for these church records. For example, for Dubeningken, East Prussia, I can find birth, marriage, and death records online going back to 1834, but a names master index for baptisms that goes back to 1775. I'm wondering if the full records still exist in any form. (I realize many of the church and civil records for East Prussia were lost during WWII and we're lucky to have what records we have today!)

I've tried the Evangelisches Zentralarchive website, but it seems their online master lists have been taken offline for an update, and that this has beein their status since March 2022: https://ezab.de/kirchenbuecher/kirchenbuch-suche.php Is there anywhere else I can look up this information?

Thanks for the links. I've definitely been using genealogy.net, especially for its descriptions of various locales, but did not know about some of these other features. I have no ancestors from Pomerania that I know of, but I'll have to look around and see if there are similar organizations and resources for East Prussia.

I've found a few resources since I last posted this. The EZA list of church records, when viewed using Wayback Machine, does list quite a holding for church records, at least from the former Eastern territories:

There's also this book, which I apparently can access digitally at a Family Research Library (I'm very near one in Oakland, CA): https://www.familysearch.org/library/books/records/item/39690-bestandsverzeichnis-der-deutschen-zentralstelle-fur-genealogie-leipzig-teil-i-die-kirchenbuchunterlagen-der-ostlichen-provinzen-posen-ost-und-westpreuszen-pommern-und-schlesien-part-01?offset=8
