Detershagen village church
The village church Detershagen is the evangelical church in Detershagen (Saxony-Anhalt).
history
The church has its origins in the Romanesque period , without it being possible to determine the exact time of its construction. It is essentially a field stone building , consisting of the 120 m² nave, the west transverse tower, just like the nave, ten meters wide and the low semicircular apse in the east. The tower and ship walls are 1.10 meters thick. Flat-arched windows are embedded in the nave, while the tower only has two acoustic arcades on its south side in the upper part . The south side of the tower was rebuilt in 1684 after being destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and was given two powerful supporting pillars. Another damage caused by a fire in 1848 was used to add a square bell chamber with a hexagonal pointed helmet to the tower, with which the tower now visibly towers above the nave. While the nave has a gable roof , the interior has a flat ceiling. Only a Romanesque altar plate with consecration crosses and a reliquary tomb, which is embedded in the floor, remains of the original furnishings . The west gallery dates from the Baroque period and the organ was built in its original form in 1863 by the organ builder Adolf Reubke .
