Bertikow village church
The Protestant village church Bertikow is an early Gothic hall church in the Bertikow district of Uckerfelde in the Uckermark district in Brandenburg . It belongs to the Prenzlau parish in the Protestant church district Uckermark of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .
History and architecture
The ambitious hall church made of stone masonry with a wider west tower from the second half of the 13th century is visible from afar in the walled cemetery at the southeast end of the village green. The tower's square half-timbered tower was built in 1837. It was restored between 1988 and 1993. The carefully executed building stands on a sloping base and is provided with a grooved eaves cornice; the west portal with a profiled fighter , the three steps alternating with a throat and a pointed round bar ; a north portal is walled up. The lancet windows on the long walls are grouped into groups of two under wide pointed arches; in the middle there is a single window in a cover; the windows of the staggered group of three windows in the east wall are also framed with such a panel, the middle arch rests on consoles (as in the churches in Brüssow and Jagow). Inside the tower room is connected to the nave by two high pointed arch openings; A staircase is built into the thickness of the south wall. The ship is closed with a coffered wooden ceiling ; the eastern part is distinguished by a large pointed arch for the south window. The window frames and the central support are rounded on the inside and outside and have a transom plate.
Furnishing
An artistically valuable carved altar from around 1500 may have come from the Dominican monastery in Prenzlau and is attributed to an important workshop in Szczecin; the work of art has been changed by a classical gray version. A crescent moon Madonna is depicted in the shrine between St. Martin and a holy bishop, the apostles are in the wings, and a crucifixion group is arranged as a crown. The paintings on the back of the wings have been destroyed except for remnants of the flagellation and crucifixion and date from around 1520. They were designed similar to the paintings in Güstow according to Albrecht Dürer's templates and were partially preserved in 2011. In the predella there are seven carved figures of saints from around 1520, which originally did not belong to this altar, from which the depictions of Saints James the Elder and Mary Magdalene come from a workshop that was probably influenced by Saxon. The wooden pulpit from the first quarter of the 17th century is decorated with fittings and cartilage , the diamond-coated niches between the corner pillars of the basket are empty. A restoration of the altar and the figures of the pulpit was funded by the German Foundation for Monument Protection after 2011. The baptism is made of clay casting, the west gallery and the neo-Gothic organ prospect date from the second half of the 19th century. The organ is a work by the Dinse brothers from 1885.
A silver-gilt chalice with a paten was created in 1665. A silver wafer box has been preserved from the 18th century. A pewter lidded jug dates from 1843, the pewter candlesticks from the first half of the 18th century. A bell was probably cast in the 15th century.
