Buchholz village church (Altlandsberg)
The Protestant village church Buchholz is a field stone church in Buchholz , a district of the town of Altlandsberg in the Märkisch-Oderland district in the state of Brandenburg . The church belongs to the parish of Oderland-Spree of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .
location
The Mittelstrasse leads from the southwest in a northeast direction through the village. It is supplemented by Wesendahler Straße , which runs a few meters further south in the same direction. Both streets span the historic village green , on which the church stands on a slightly elevated plot. This is fenced in with a wall made of not layered and uncut field stones .
history
The exact date of construction is not known. The Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum dates the building to “1301/1400” and “1401/1500” in its monument database. In the Dehio manual , the core of the building is dated to the 14th and 15th centuries. The parish also assumes that it was built around 1300 due to the way it was built. In the land book of Charles IV. Four parish hooves and one church hoof are given for the year 1375 . From the 15th century, the church patronage was that of Krummensee . In 1459 Buchholz came to the Strausberg Provost and in 1542 became a branch church of Wesendahl . Since large areas of the nave were repaired with reddish brick, experts assume that the sacred building was almost completely destroyed and rebuilt at an earlier time, possibly during the Thirty Years' War . In 1801 craftsmen enlarged the windows "baroque" and repaired the masonry. Another renovation took place in 1900. After the end of the Second World War , the Red Army used the building as a cinema.
Building description
The building was originally built from field stones that were hardly hewn and only thinly layered. After the considerable destruction, craftsmen mainly used reddish brick to repair the damage. Parts of the structure are also plastered . The choir is straight and has not moved in. On the east wall are two high lancet windows , the walls of which were built from double-stepped brick. In between, the clogged remainder of a small, ogival opening can be seen in the middle. Above it are two vertical rectangular panels that are also clogged . Above in the middle is a small toothed frieze , above it three crosses designed with brick as well as an also added three-window group with a raised lancet window that extends into the gable decorated with two pinnacles . At the height of the roof ridge is another brick cross.
The north side of the nave is dominated by three high, pointed arch windows that extend almost the entire height of the nave wall. The walls are also decorated with stepped masonry. At the transition to the west tower is a small, rectangular extension with a pointed arch window on its north side. There are also three lancet windows on the south side, but they are not distributed equally across the facade. Rather, craftsmen built a sacristy with a rectangular floor plan between the eastern window and the two other windows . It can be entered from the south. There are two pointed arched windows on the west and east walls. At the western end of the ship's wall is a memorial that commemorates those who died in World War II . Friske specifies the length of the ship as around 18 meters with a width of around 9 meters. It has a simple gable roof made of beaver tail , on the north side of which there are three and on the south side two triangular dormer windows .
The west tower is rectangular with a length of 6 m and a width of around 7.6 m. It was built from irregularly layered and uncut field stones. Only the limestone corner stones are carefully carved. Access is via a large, ogival portal on the west side, which is also stepped twice. Above it is a large ox eye . There are no other openings. In the middle tower floor there is a small, rectangular window on the north and south sides. Above is the bell storey. On each side are two narrow, pressed, pointed arch -shaped sound arcades . These are likely to date from the time the church was built. On the east side, these are partially covered by the roof ridge - presumably a consequence of the reconstruction, which was accompanied by an increase in the crown of the wall on the nave. This is followed by the pointed hipped roof on which a cross is enthroned.
Furnishing
The stipes was built from brick and probably comes from the middle altar. It is 2.15 m wide, 1.26 m high and 1.45 m deep. At its back is an opening that allows access to the hollow interior. On it stands a baroque altar that the Berlin sculptor Martin Caspar Schlau created in 1710. The altarpiece is built in the form of an aedicule with twisted columns and decorated with acanthus . Above it is a blown gable with putti . In place of the original altar sheet there is a late Gothic crucifix from the beginning of the 16th century. The pulpit dates from the beginning of the 18th century. It has a polygonal pulpit decorated with inscriptions and acanthus. From visitations in 1542 a gilded chalice made of silver and an additional paten , two brass candlesticks, two chasubles and a missal from 1600 have come down to us. The gallery and the church stalls date from around 1900. A memorial plaque commemorates those who fell from the German War and the 100th anniversary of the Wars of Liberation . The painting took place in the 1990s.
There are three bells hanging in the tower. Two were cast in Hennickendorf in 1930 . The third, with a diameter of 80 cm, dates back to 1624. It bears the inscription: “IN GLORIAM ET HONOREM DIE HAEC CAMPANA A CHRISTIANO HEINTZE SPANDOVI / * REGNATE ELECTORE GEORGIO WILHELMO MORTVO CARTRIDGE SENIORE IOACHENSI / IMO A KRUMMENSEABORE FRO GEOCENTE FVSAAC NOVATA EST 1624 ** “and reminds of the Elector Friedrich Wilhelm . The founder was the church patron at the time, Joachim von Krummensee. A granite slab on the outside commemorates the fallen from World War II.
