location
The village street leading from the west as the central connecting axis in a northeasterly direction through the town. In the historic center, the building is north of the street.
history
The Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) assumes that the structure was erected in the second half of the 17th century. The sacred building was rebuilt in 1732 . The church patronage at that time lay with those of Schierstedt . In 1914, the then patron, Wolfgang von Schierstedt, had a new bell cast. In 1994 the building was restored.
Building description
The structure was built mainly from timber ; the compartment is made of reddish brick . The choir is straight and has not moved in across from the ship. The wall has no windows, in the gable is a small wooden door slightly off-center to the south. On the north and south sides of the nave there are three rectangular windows of the same size. They are supplemented on the south side by a gate in the outer, western area and another gate between the western and central window. The west wall of the ship is closed. The gable was also built from half-timbered houses, and the west tower rises above it . There is a small and rectangular sound arcade on the north and south sides . While the ship has a simple gable roof , the craftsmen built a pyramid roof on the tower . It ends with a tower ball and a cross.
Furnishing
The altarpiece was probably made in the first half of the 18th century and was made of wood. Above it is a crown-shaped sound cover with carved cheeks. The Dehio manual suspects that the essay was apparently made for another church and was placed here on a pedestal made of brick.
The polygonal pulpit is decorated with village paintings and shows the crucifixion of Christ next to a snake and a lamb of God. The west gallery is barred and shows the alliance coat of arms of the von Schierstedt on the parapet fields. There is a barred pastor's chair to the side.
The baptismal baptism is described in the Dehio manual as "high quality"; the BLDAM speaks of “special quality”. The 98 cm tall figure was created in 1719 and restored in 2006. The angel is dressed in a light blue robe with gold dots; the rest of the upper body almost uncovered. The artist attached the wings to the side, which were painted alternately gold and silver. In the left hand the angel holds a palm branch, in the right a quatrefoil-like shelf for the baptismal bowl. This was replaced by a clamshell in 1992. The baptismal angel originally hung next to the alliance coat of arms and, as evidenced by the baptismal register, was used in 1719 for the baptism of a son of those von Schierstedt. After a support had to be installed at the original location due to static requirements, the parish hung the angel northwest of the altar.
The inside of the structure is flat covered. A bell hangs in a free-standing belfry to the west of the church . It bears a quote from the book of Jeremiah "O COUNTRY, COUNTRY / HEARTS OF THE LORD'S WORD" ( Jer 22,29 EU ); underneath the inscription “THE IRON YEAR 1914 / HAS CREATED ME”. The donor's inscription can be read on the back: “THE DAHLEN KIRCHENGEMEINDE / FROM HER PATRON STANDING IN THE FIELD / WOLFGANG VON SCHIERSTAEDT / AND HIS WIFE / EMMY VON SCHIERSTAEDT / GEB. BY ROCHOW-PLESSOW / FRANZ SCHILLING SOEHNE IN APOLDA GOSSEN 1914 ”.
