history

West portal

The building was initially probably not erected as a sacred building , but according to historical traditions between 1184 and 1194 as a feudal secular building . Although it already contained a chapel , it was used to ward off enemies. With the founding of the Mark Brandenburg by Albrecht the Bear , this function ceased and the building was transferred to the local diocese on the instructions of the knight Ludolf von Stangenhagen . In 1307 monks from the Lehnin Cistercian monastery took over the building. They rebuilt the secular building in the Gothic style, presumably in the 15th century, and rededicated it as a church. The half-timbered tower was built around 1700 above the west gable . In 1860 the western gable wall was broken through and the tower entrance was created. In 1863, the burials in the cemetery ended with the opening of a new burial site in neighboring Nettgendorf . In 1895 the tower received a tower clock and an organ. In 1889 the parish built an extension over the altar gable and added a sacristy . It stands on remains of the foundations, which probably belong to the old chapel from the 12th century. The church was consecrated on July 5, 1889. The church was badly damaged in the Second World War and was not restored until 1956 on the initiative of Pastor Heinemann-Grüder .

In the 21st century the parish belongs to the parish Bardenitz-Dobbrikow in the parish of Zossen-Fläming. It is administered by the parish office in Pechüle in Treuenbrietzen .

architecture

The church hall is not exactly faces east , but deviates by 30 ° towards the south. It consists of uncut field stones stacked in rows , the spaces between them being filled with smaller, also uncut stones. The extension from the end of the 19th century and the sacristy were built in neo-Gothic style. They stand out clearly from the original building. On the north side of the extension there is a deeper, pointed arch window. On the north and south sides of the nave there are three windows of the same size, arched in the shape of a basket, the walls of which are framed with red bricks in two steps. Another window of the same size in an identical construction is available at some distance at the level of the former choir on both sides of the nave. The ship itself closes above the eaves with a simple gable roof . In the lower area of ​​the choir wall, three semicircular panels are embedded as symbols for the Trinity , which are plastered gray and of which the middle one is raised. The gable is separated by a cornice and decorated with seven other panels, the height of which decreases steadily towards the outside.

The sacristy on the south side of the choir is made of reddish bricks that were laid in a cross bond. On the south side there is a deep, neo-Gothic window, the arch of which was also designed with brick. A circular screen can be seen in the gable above. The room can be entered from the west through a simple, gray-painted wooden door. The gable roof is covered with red roof tiles.

On the white plastered gable side of the west tower there are porch walls made of field stone . Construction experts suspect that it is the remains of a fortified tower from the Middle Ages . However, it is also possible that a vestibule existed at this point in the first phase of use of the building.

Above the gable is the church tower, which was built from half-timbered houses . In the upper area are located on each side two sound arcades , behind which the two two bells of bronze hanging from the years 1613 and 1948th The older one has the strike tone c , the newer one the strike tone es . The spire is clad with black slate and is crowned by a weather vane and a final cross. Below the tower there is an extension made of red bricks into which a double-stepped, arched portal is embedded. It is decorated with three crosses. Access is via a double-leaf, blue and white painted cassette door .

Furnishing

The church furnishings are described in a church guide as "quite simple". The wooden altar was a gift from the Bredow family in 1648. It shows Jesus Christ in front of Mount Golgotha . The city of Jerusalem can be seen in the background . The overall impression is reminiscent of a scaled-down representation of an altar from Merseburg Cathedral . The pulpit dates from 1679 and shows pictures of the four evangelists painted in oil . Three of the paintings each have a signature: Matthew : “Let the word of Christ dwell abundantly among you” and Mark : “Blessed are those who hear and keep God's word” and Luke : “The word of our God abides forever”. The Evangelist John was added later and is unsigned. The pulpit stands on a pillar that is decorated with tendrils and the coats of arms of those of Bröseke and those of Bredow . The offering box dates from the 16th century. There is also a painting in the church with the title “The Parable of the Good Samaritan” from the 1930s. It is a gift from the painter Herbert Ortel to the pastor of the church, Heinrich Vogel . A goblet and the paten are in the Märkisches Museum in Berlin.

organ

The organ built Adam and Johann Eifert from Stadtilm in 1895 for 2,015 marks one. The acceptance took place on May 20, 1895 in the presence of the cantor and organist Kühnast from Luckenwalde . It has ten registers on two manuals and one pedal as well as two side slides.

In 1917 the parish had to give up the front prospect pipes in the course of the First World War . The opening was closed with simple battens. In the 1960s, the condition of the instrument deteriorated due to a lack of maintenance work and could therefore no longer be used from the beginning of the 1970s. After the fall of the Wall , Pastor Schneider made a comprehensive renovation of the instrument for 60,000 marks . Organ builders also removed the battens and restored the original condition. The re-inauguration took place on August 28, 1994 by Cantor Lohmann from Berlin .
