Architecture and history

After church services were initially held in a room in what would later be the manor house, this solution proved to be inadequate as the number of residents increased. In the period after 1815, the residents of Annenwald turned to the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III with several letters of request for the purpose of building a church . On April 5, 1828, the king agreed to build a church based on the model of the Nakel church designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel . He approved the costs and took over the church patronage .

The foundation stone was laid on April 28, 1833. The result was a plastered hall church made of bricks in the classicism style . The construction work was carried out by building inspector Zimmermann from Zehdenick . The construction was carried out according to plans by H. Hermann, revised by Schinkel. The tower planned in the original design was ultimately not built. The structure is through three high arched windows on each long side. There are large segmental arched windows in the gables. At the corners, pillars shape the appearance of the church. The church portal is designed as a double portal and is located on the west side. Bezel windows are inserted above the doors .

View from the pulpit

The interior is divided into three naves by two rows of wooden, Doric , fluted columns. There is a three-sided gallery in the church. There are more Doric wooden pillars that support the ceiling. The middle nave is spanned by a wooden barrel decorated with painted coffers. The sanctuary has a square floor plan. Like the stalls, the pulpit , which dates back to the construction period, stands behind the altar , which is raised opposite the rest of the nave. The organ was built by the organ builder Gottlieb Heise around 1835 . The slide organ has eight registers , a manual and a pedal . In 1917 the organ was restored by the Kienscherf company. Further restorations were carried out in 1955 by the Fahlberg company and in 2001 by the organ builder Tobias Schramm .

A wooden belfry was built to the west of the church. The bell inside bears the inscription Anno 1835 HAT EINE KÖNIGL. HOCHLÖBL. GOVERNMENT AT POTSDAM LET THIS BELL POURED BY ELW THIELE IN BERLIN .

On August 3, 1835, in the presence of the superintendent Bartsch and the district administrator of Winterfels.

The church building quickly showed construction defects. Damage to the exterior plaster and sponge infestation occurred as early as 1837 . In 1849 the roofing, the battens and the cornice were also affected by defects.

A thorough renovation took place on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the church. On December 21, 1935, the renovated church was reopened with a service. In 1961, major repairs were again required on the facade and the church roof. However, the state of construction of the building deteriorated considerably until the 1980s.

Before and after the political turning point in 1989 , extensive work took place. The former German Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker donated the Sieghardt von Köckritz Prize of the German Foundation for Monument Protection for the village church of Annenwalde. With these funds, the renovation could be completed. The re-inauguration took place on November 12, 1995. A monument-compliant shell repair was carried out in 2001–2002 on the basis of preliminary restoration investigations with an ocher-colored paint reconstruction from the building period using lime painting. Restoration investigations, inventory and condition mapping, drawing of all profile sections of the facade structuring elements, documentation and construction-accompanying supervision by qualified restorer Gottfried Grafe
