Dahnsdorf village church
The Protestant village church Dahnsdorf is a late Romanesque field stone church in the Dahnsdorf part of the community Planetal in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in Brandenburg . It belongs to the parish Planetal in the parish of Mittelmark-Brandenburg of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .
History and architecture
The Dahnsdorf village church is a stately late Romanesque building made of mostly meticulous stone ashlar masonry from the beginning of the 13th century with a retracted choir, apse and west transverse tower. It belonged to the Teutonic Order , which maintained a commandery in Dahnsdorf from 1227 to 1777 .
The original windows have been preserved, with the exception of the south-facing windows that were enlarged in the 19th century. The building on a rectangular floor plan is closed on the inside with a wooden beam ceiling and shows a round-arched triumphal arch ; the round arch to the tower hall was added later. A restoration took place around 1970.
Furnishing
The wooden altarpiece dates from the first quarter of the 17th century and stands on the medieval field stone canteen, which probably dates from the time the church was built. It shows a two-storey structure with presented columns and ornamentation in the beginning auricle style ; the cheeks are made up of two oval medallions each . In the main field there is a painting of the Last Supper , in the essay a representation of the triumphant Christ. The medallion paintings with depictions of the Fall , the Annunciation , the adoration and the baptism of Christ were stolen in 1997, as were the angels framing the top with instruments of passion .
The pulpit was probably made at the same time as the altar in simpler forms. It was changed and revised in the second half of the 19th century. A heavy octagonal sandstone baptism comes from the Gothic period.
The west gallery dates from the 19th century. Parts of the pilaster-structured parapet were built around 1600 and were taken over by a patronage chair. In the choir there are box chairs from the 17th century, one of them with sliding lattice windows. On the beam in the triumphal arch there are wooden figures of Mary and John from a late Gothic crucifixion group from the second half of the 15th century. The organ is a simple work by Gottfried Wilhelm Baer from 1856 with a neo-Romanesque prospectus .
