Bornicke village church (Bernau)
The Evangelical village church Börnicke is an early Gothic stone church in the bornicke district of Bernau near Berlin in the Barnim district in Brandenburg . It belongs to the parish of Bernau in the Barnim parish of the Evangelical Church in Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia and can be viewed by appointment.
History and architecture
The church is a field stone hall with a retracted rectangular choir and high west transverse tower from the second half of the 13th century. The southern sacristy, which probably dates from the 14th century, is united under one roof with the adjoining porch made of mixed masonry (15th century). The top of the tower is formed by a gable roof between late Gothic brick gables adorned with panels and pinnacles . In the west, the church is accessed through a two-tiered pointed arch portal. Other portals in the south and north are walled up, the other openings widened with round arches. In the east wall there are three pointed arches, the middle one being blocked.
In the 16th century, the interior was vaulted with two aisles in the manner of a single-pillar room with four ribbed vaults over a round central pillar, a rectangular pillar under the triumphal arch and over side consoles. The room was restored in 1957. The choir vault was retracted during a restoration in 1883. The barrel-vaulted sacristy is accessed through a four-step flat arch door. The opening to the tower is blocked except for one door.
Furnishing
The church contains uniform neo-Romanesque furnishings from 1883 with a wooden pulpit, baptismal font, west gallery, organ and stalls. The bench from 1679 shows half-figures of ten apostles in the arched fields of the rear wall, the other two apostles and sayings are painted in the parapet fields. Stalls of this kind are rare in the region.
A silver-gilt chalice with a paten from 1739 are used as liturgical vessels . A bell was created around 1300. The organ is a work by Albert Lang from 1883 with seven stops on a manual and pedal .
Two artistically valuable altar wings come from the reredos of the church in the village of Knoblauch near Ketzin, which was demolished in 1966 and show portrait-format depictions of Saints Jerome and Erasmus from around 1500. An inscription tombstone for Louisa Lucia Sophia Bamihl (1734–75) is in the south porch.
On the outside of the south wall of the tower there are gravestones for Ernst and Marie von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy († 1909 and 1906 respectively) with relief decorations and coats of arms, surrounded by a field stone wall with two putti on the sides of the entrance.
