The evangelical village church Blumberg is an early Gothic stone church in the Blumberg district of Ahrensfelde in the Barnim district in Brandenburg . It belongs to the parish of Blumberg in the parish of Berlin North-East of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia and is one of the open churches .

History and architecture

The Blumberg village church was built as a stately field stone hall church in the second half of the 13th century with a long, drawn-in rectangular choir and high west transverse tower, and at the beginning of the 16th century it was converted into a two-aisled hall church by installing pillars and vaults. The sacristy to the south of the choir was probably added towards the end of the 13th century, extended in 1724 and converted into a patron's box with a crypt. In the years 1878/81 a comprehensive restoration was carried out and a sacristy was added in the northeast.

According to the Dehio manual, the tower, which is set off above the ship's walls with bright corner blocks, probably dates from the 14th century (according to another source a connection with the bell cast in 1462 is established), its closure with a gable roof between brick gables from 1937. The broad-pointed arched south portal with profiled Brick walls were installed in the 15th century, the west portal in a similar form from 1878/81. The windows that were broken in at the vaulting at the beginning of the 16th century were enlarged in 1878/81, only the central east window is from the 15th century; the arches of the original, walled-in three-window group can be seen.

Inside the nave is vaulted with two aisles in the central axis over three round pillars; the choir, separated by a pointed triumphal arch, has a two-bay cross-rib vault. The ribs with a pear-shaped profile in the nave end on consoles with male busts, which can be recognized by attributes as apostles and are probably attributed to a Berlin workshop around 1520. In the choir there are vaulted consoles in the form of animal heads and masks; the round choir keystones are provided with reliefs of the sun and moon. The pointed arch opening to the tower is walled up except for a door, which the former patron s box today is blocked by the organ. In 1957, the remains of a wall painting depicting St. Mark from the first years of the 16th century were uncovered in the western choir vault .

Furnishing

Five portraits are worth mentioning: for Reimar von Winterfeldt , 1596, oil on wood; Oil paintings by the von Löben couple from 1666, and an oval oil painting by Freiherr von Canitz († 1699); In the choir there is a life-size painting of the honor guard Maria von Hagen (née von Schulenburg ) with portrait medallions of her three deceased husbands, 1730 by Emanuel Dubuisson, executed in oil on copper, the frame is provided with 32 alabaster coats of arms.

A late Romanesque inscription tombstone from 1296 was reused for Katarina von Krummensee († 1596), née Mörner, the wife of Hans von Krummensee. An epitaph for Philipp Ludwig von Canstein († 1708), in the manner of Johann Georg Glume the Elder, is decorated with trophy jewelry and a fama and the bust of the deceased on a sarcophagus (the upper parts were replaced by a plaster copy). This epitaph was received literarily by Theodor Fontane in his hikes through the Mark Brandenburg .

A sandstone epitaph for Heinrich Julius von Goldbeck († 1818) and his wife († 1816) with relief medallions of the heads made of marble from 1820 by Johann Gottfried Schadow should also be mentioned. On the outside of the sacristy there are two inscription tombstones from 1734 and 1744. In the south there is a plait-style urn grave for Carl Wilhelm Börger († 1793).

The organ is a work by Schuke Orgelbau from 1963 with 13 stops on two manuals and pedal .
