The Protestant mountain church (also: village church ) is a baroque hall church in the municipality of Oybin in the district of Görlitz in Saxony . It belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran parish Zittauer Gebirge-Olbersdorf in the Evangelical Lutheran church district Löbau-Zittau of the Evangelical Lutheran regional church of Saxony .
History and architecture
The chapel at the foot of the Oybin mountain was built by Johann Georg Scholze in 1709. In the years 1732–1734 the church was extended to the west by two window axes and a wooden retracted tower with a hood and lantern was built. The woodwork was created by Andreas Kühnel from Zittau. The ground plan is irregular because the north-western corner is formed by the rock; the building is covered by a hipped roof. The extension can be recognized by its larger, arched windows. The sacristy is built on the east side . The building was restored in 2008 with the support of the German Foundation for Monument Protection .
Furnishing
The atmospheric interior is through the painting of the two-storey wooden galleries and wooden cassette ceiling embossed, which was carried out in the years 1723 and 1737 by Christian blacksmith. The galleries continue behind the altar. The grisaille painting on the lower gallery is decorated with depictions of the Lord's Prayer , those on the upper one with the Beatitudes and painted hangers in between. The biblical representations on the ceiling panels, which show Christian emblemata , the Fall , Redemption, the Last Judgment and God the Father from west to east, also come from the same painter . Floral ornaments are painted between the panels.
The original altar from 1712 was replaced by a pulpit altar , which was created in 1773 by the carver Max from Bürgstein and the painter Cuno from Zittau. A bulbous, floral ornamented pulpit cage is located above the high plinth between a column structure with side veil boards. A segmented gable with beam glory is arranged above the protruding pillars . A relief depicting the Lord's Supper is attached under the pulpit. The octagonal baptism with wooden lid from the beginning of the 18th century was taken over from Wittgendorf in 1754 . The organ is a work of the Georg Schuster Orgelbau company from 1987 with 18 stops on two manuals and a pedal , which is housed in a baroque case by Johann Gottlieb Tamitius from 1754, which also comes from Wittgendorf.
