Dabergotz village church
The Protestant village church Dabergotz is a stone church from the second half of the 13th century in Dabergotz , a municipality in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district in the state of Brandenburg . The church belongs to the parish of Wittstock-Ruppin of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .
location
The federal highway 167 leads from the southwest in a northeast direction through the place. In the historic village green, Neue Straße branches off to the south and Bahnhofstraße to the north. The church stands southwest of this intersection on a plot of land with a church cemetery , which is enclosed with a wall made of uncut and not layered field stones .
history
The sacred building was built in the second half of the 13th century. The Temnitz office mentions "lasting devastation" of the place during the Thirty Years' War as well as arson on the occasion of the Swedish invasion in 1674/1675 . In 1712 the originally built ribbed vault was replaced by a wooden barrel. In 1773 craftsmen changed the facade by enlarging the " baroque " ogival windows . Restoration work carried out in 1959 and after 1996.
Building description
The structure was essentially built from field stones , which were largely layered and hewn. The choir is straight and slightly drawn in. There was originally a single, ogival window on the east wall. Like the other openings, it was changed in 1773 and is now pressed-segment-arch-shaped. Bricklayers used reddish brick for the repair work. From this material they also built the gable , in which three large, pointed arch-shaped and plastered panels are embedded. In the north wall of the choir is a large, segment-arched window, the height of which extends almost over the entire facade. To the right of it is a priest's gate , which should come from the construction period. It is unusually richly made of round bars with fighter . At the transition to the roof ridge , repairs made of reddish brick can be seen. There is also a large window on the south side. On the right below the remains of a large arch with a small, clogged gate can be seen. It is conceivable that a sacristy was originally added at this point , which was demolished at a later date.
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On the north side there is a large arched window to the west and east, and a smaller, raised window in the middle. A clogged gate can be seen below on the left, which should also come from the construction period. The windows on the south side are arranged axially symmetrically.
This is followed by the church tower to the west . It can be entered from the west through an elaborate, triple-stepped portal. Here, as were also installed at the priest gate rods, the chalice with decorated capitals are decorated. The west gable, like the rest of the tower spire, is clad with slate. The helmet has a square floor plan and a tower clock on top and in the middle. There are also two sound arcades on the west and east sides and one sound arcade on the north and south sides . Above this, the essay merges into an octagonal pointed helmet, which ends with a tower ball and cross.
Furnishing
The wooden and baroque pulpit altar dates from the beginning of the 18th century and is built between two double Corinthian columns that are decorated with carved cheeks. Above the bulbous pulpit is a sound cover with a blown gable; above it a halo .
The other church furnishings include a floating baptismal angel with a shell, which was created in the first half of the 18th century. It is around 1.64 meters tall and comes from a regionally active carving workshop that is unknown by name and that has already carried out work for the village church of Beetz , the village church of Gottberg or in Goldbeck (Wittstock / Dosse) . He is dressed in a two-part, plain and white robe, the cuffs, hems and collar of which are gold-plated. The hair, the wings and the shell were also given a gold plating. In 2002 the angel was restored.
On the west gallery is an organ with a neo-Gothic prospect . The arch of the tower has been added, the pointed triumphal arch is still preserved. On the south side of the choir is a niche consisting of three clover-leaf arches on brick pillars, in which sediles are placed.
To the south-east of the church - integrated into the enclosure - stands a stone archway with two name boards and a relief showing a steel helmet. It commemorates the fallen from the First World War .
