Dorfchemnitz Church
The Protestant Church Dorfchemnitz is a hall church of the Renaissance in Dorfchemnitz in Sayda in Saxony mittelsachsen . It belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Dorfchemnitz-Voigtsdorf in the Freiberg church district of the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Saxony and is known for its well-preserved organ from the time of classicism by Johann Christian Kayser , which is still strongly influenced by the tradition of Gottfried Silbermann .
History and architecture
The hall church from 1539, located on a hill, was extensively rebuilt in 1692/1693 and a tower was added in 1705. Redesigns were carried out in the years 1801 to 1805 and 1893. Restorations took place in 1930, in the 1960s and 1992 to 1994.
The church is a plastered quarry stone building with a three-sided choir closure and buttresses. Arched windows illuminate the interior, the hipped roof is provided with dormers . The tower set in the nave with a baroque tower stands on the northwest side, the sacristy is built on the north side of the choir.
A low pointed arch portal leads from the tower to the hall. The bright, harmonious interior is finished with a plastered barrel vault. Two-storey galleries and boxes in the choir surround the interior.
Furnishing
A simple pulpit altar from the beginning of the 19th century forms the main part of the furnishings. On the pulpit basket are three carved figures of Christ, Luke and Mark, probably from the beginning of the 18th century. The other two evangelists are placed on two consoles above the altar hall. A large, colorful crucifix from the 16th century is arranged above the gable. The baptism made of black marble with remains of a bronze colored frame dates from 1852.
organ
In 1673 an unknown organ builder built a small organ that was lost at the end of the 18th century. Today's organ is a work by Johann Christian Kayser from 1803 with 19 stops on two manuals and a pedal .
The instrument was repaired several times after 1804 because of moisture damage. In 1834 a thorough repair was carried out by the organ builder Jehmlich , whereby the same temperature was also established. In 1888 the work was overhauled again by Jehmlich and the register Salicional 8 ′ was added. After the prospectus pipes had been handed in in 1917, a zinc prospectus was installed by the Jehmlich brothers in 1920. In 1935, individual pipes in the Rohrflöte 4 'and Naßat 3' registers were repaired and some pipes for the overtone parts of the rear work were replaced and an electric fan was installed. From 1936 Jehmlich took over regular supervision. In 1973/1974 the organ was examined and restored by Wilhelm Rühle . The disposition is:

Surroundings
The crypt of the von Hartitzsch family can be found in the cemetery , a small, neo-classical building with a hipped roof that dates back to 1830. Inside there are ten tombstones, mostly from the 17th and 18th centuries, some with ornamental decorations and coats of arms. The epitaph of Hans von Hartitzsch († 1578), which is attributed to Michael Grünberger and shows a full-length representation of the deceased, should be emphasized . Also to be mentioned is the double epitaph for Anna von Hartitzsch († 1619) and her husband, unknown by name. A cast-iron grave slab with writing blocks and sparse ornamental decoration with cherubim heads in the corners reminds of the pastor Königsdorfer († 1666).
