The Evangelical village church Dobberzin is an early Gothic hall church made of field stone masonry in the Dobberzin district of Angermünde in the Uckermark district in Brandenburg . It belongs to the parish Greiffenberg in the parish of Uckermark of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .

History and architecture

The church was built in the second half of the 13th century as a stone building. After a fire in 1678, it was rebuilt in stages around 1680. The roof tower over the west gable was built in the years 1708–1711. Various repairs and renovations have been handed down from the years 1834, 1883, 1886, 1893 and 1957–1960 (tower and roof, interior).

In 1989 the patronage and preacher stalls from 1699 as well as the parish stalls and the brick floor were removed. From 1992 the renovation of the exterior and the interior of the church was carried out, the new consecration took place on December 2, 2000.

The church is a simple hall church made of carefully hewn and walled stone blocks with lancet windows , which have largely been preserved in their original state. The fire in 1678 damaged the round window and the inner arch of the pointed portal on the west side. A smaller priest gate is arranged on the south side . The portal in the north is walled up.

At the southwest corner of the nave, a square ( chessboard stone ) was provided with a scratched diamond ornament, similar to the village churches in Serwest , Schmargendorf and Schönermark near Angermünde. The boarded-up roof tower was built according to dendrochronological dating in the years 1708/1709 and is provided with a weather vane with the year 1711.

The simple interior with brick floor is completed by a beamed ceiling from around 1680. A gallery in the west and one in the north determines the impression of the room next to the main pieces of equipment. In the east wall there is a sacrament niche with a door.

Furnishing

The altar mess hall , built in brick, dates from the Middle Ages. The magnificent pulpit altar dates from 1699, is attributed to Bernhard Hattenkerell and was painted in color by Christoph Schurig from Angermünde. The rich, artistically valuable column structure is equipped with a cranked profiled entablature and a broken segmented gable and shows a curved top with a crowning glory of rays. Richly carved leaf and acanthus tendrils as well as expressive angel heads are attached to the polygonal pulpit, the side staircases and the altar cabinets, and lambrequins are attached to the sound cover . A coat of arms of the von Buch family was probably originally placed on the basket.

The baptismal angel on the left from the first third of the 18th century is probably also a work by Hattenkerell. The floating figure with a richly folded robe and raised wings carries a replica baptismal bowl in the shape of a shell; a banner with the inscription Soli deo gloria is now attached to the hanging rope. The version was roughly painted over in 1965 and renewed and supplemented around the year 2000.

The base of a granite baptismal font with archaic reliefs of human heads and lilies probably dates from the end of the 13th century. Today's neo-Gothic baptismal font from the 19th century is made of artificial stone in the shape of a cup.

The organ is a work with a three-part round-arched prospectus from 1857 with floral ornaments in the spandrels. The parish stalls, which were probably built around 1699, are simple box stalls with fenugreek fittings. A bronze bell with an inscription dated 1885 was cast by C. Voß und Sohn from Stettin and is richly decorated with vine leaves and acanthus friezes as well as a foundation text, the bell bracket is provided with a head.
