history
According to an information board, the pre-existing village church was lost in a fire on July 29, 1906. Georg Büttner described the cause of the fire as a lightning strike , but dated the destruction to June 1905. The church was a simple plastered building . After the fire, some sacred and works of art were saved from the church . The building was demolished after the destruction.
As a new building, a small village church was then erected elsewhere, on the edge of the village at a street crossing. The executive architect was the aforementioned royal building officer Georg Büttner , who lives in Steglitz . As early as 1907, a few years after the old church was destroyed, the new building was inaugurated. The church construction was assigned to the Art Nouveau . The items rescued from the previous building were transferred to the new building. The furnishing of the new church was partly financed by the Ribbeck family , who lived in the Bagow manor and who held the church patronage in earlier times . The cost of building the church was 21,000 marks . The church bell was a gift of John parish in the then not yet Berlin belonging Moabit . A six-part organ including the prospectus had a price of 2,300 marks.
In 1972 the church was badly damaged in a storm and then closed by the building authorities . Due to the unusability, the profanation followed . Eventually the church was cleared for demolition in 1985, but it was not carried out. In the first half of the 1990s, an extensive renovation of the Bagower Church took place. On June 23, 1995, it could be consecrated again and used by the parish.
Building
The Bagow village church is a hall church . The plaster is mostly salmon-colored. The polygonal central building rises above an octagonal floor plan that is wider than it is longer. The steeple is on the east side of the church. In front of it is a two-sided staircase , which allows access to the tower or belfry through the northern door and to the east gallery through the southern door . This stairwell is partly designed in half-timbered houses . The two-winged church portal is located in the middle below the staircases . Like the doors to the staircases, this is designed with segmental arches.
The church tower has a striking volute gable above the staircase . To the east is above a cornice the dial of the clock tower mounted. Above is the belfry. Sound openings for the bells are incorporated in all four directions. The floor of the bell chair is already as well as the top, bottom four octagonal in the middle and upper part spire with black plate covered. There is a gold colored cross on the top of the helmet.
The windows of the central building are mainly rectangular windows that are covered with lead glazing . Two arched windows are also incorporated. In hip roof there are bat dormers as possible openings. The central building is extended to the west by a choir . This has a half hip , a round window and two further entrances. The access on the north side is to the sacristy . The choir building with its ridge reaches about half the height of the roof of the central building, the ridge of which runs transversely due to its greater width in relation to its length. The roofs of the central building, the choir and the stairwell are covered with red beaver tails . Decorative elements of the facade are gray plastered corner pilaster strips and bezels around the windows and doors.
Interior
The interior of the church is rich and partly that of the baroque predecessor church. The altar and pulpit date from the 17th century. They were acquired by Hans George von Grävenitz and Elisabeth Rübell von Biberach in 1698, but at that time they had existed for a long time and were donated to the church. The four evangelists and Salvator mundi are vividly represented on the pulpit . The altar shows rich carvings . The central painting depicts Jesus crucified . The Lord's Supper is shown below. The ceiling of the choir is cross vaulted and decorated with leaf ornamentation.
Paintings show members of the noble families Ribbeck and Broesigke . A plaque with fourteen coats of arms shows various noble families and a reference to a 1900 renovation or renovation, probably of the previous church. The two largest leaded glass windows show Jesus Christ in the south, Archangel Michael killing the dragon in the north , and the village church. Further leaded glazing indicates the four evangelists. The lead glazing with the representation of Michael shows in an inscription Adelheid von Ribbeck, née von Krosigk . Two metal grave slabs of members of the Ribbeck family are placed on the east wall. The church pews are modern. The east gallery is partially decorated with carvings. The original organ is no longer in the church. There are also several information boards with photos of the church and sketches of the construction plan on the walls. A rich chandelier is set with candles .
