history
The sacred building was probably built in the first half of the 15th century. By 1700, that made church a majority of the openings " baroque " Zoom. In the late 1950s she moved the pulpit and tore down the patronage box. Since that time the parapet fields depend on the west gallery . Around 1960 craftsmen reconstructed the southwest portal.
Building description
The building was essentially built from field stones that were not hewn or layered. Individual elements, e.g. B. Parts of the garments were made from lawn iron or brick . The choir is straight and has not moved in. There are three windows on its east wall, all of which were probably originally built as lancet triple windows . However, only the middle one has been preserved in its original form, even if it has been repaired. Below is an epitaph . The other two were enlarged. They are now segment-arch-shaped with plastered bottles . The gable was also built from field stones and is closed. At the transition to the simple saddle roof , repair work in plaster and brick is visible. The north wall of the choir is also closed. The patronage box was located at this point at an earlier point in time. In addition to large-scale repair work, the remains of a small arched window and a high-seated, also walled-up door can be seen. On the south side is a large arched window.
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. The northern side has no windows. On the south wall next to the choir window is a small, raised arched window. Below is a pointed arched gate, the walls of which were built from brick. Like its fittings, the door leaf dates from the Middle Ages. Two more windows follow to the west, between them a pointed arch-shaped gate with a curtain made of lawn iron stone. The roof is covered with beaver tail .
The west tower is transversely rectangular and takes up the full width of the nave. It can be entered through a narrow gate that is located in the southeast of the facade. In the north-west corner the lines run between the tower and the nave. It is therefore conceivable that the substructure of the tower was planned and built at the same time as the ship. The upper floors could have been built at a later date . On the west and east side there are two coupled , pointed arch- shaped sound arcades , one each on the north and south sides. The walls are made of reddish brick. The tower ends with a rectangular hipped roof and a tower ball with a weather vane .
Furnishing
The altarpiece was made in 1619 by the painter Bartholomäus Böttger from Beeskow in the style of the late Renaissance . According to an inscription on the predella, it is a memorial altar for Johann Friedrich von Stutterheim , who died in 1616 , whose bust can be seen there. In the altarpiece is Mary with the baby Jesus to see; the depiction from around 1440 shows similarities in the dress scheme to the retable in Jüterbog . The coats of arms of the donors can be seen next to putti heads and tendrils in the altar extract .
Christian Zimmermann created the wooden pulpit at the beginning of the 18th century. The Dehio manual describes it as an "unmounted and rough handcrafted carving". At its corners the evangelists stand on consoles ; in between in the fields are heraldic tablets. Above is a star-shaped sound cover .
Other church furnishings include a 1.57 m high, floating baptismal angel made of linden wood , a work from the first quarter of the 18th century. The Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) describes the design as “very high quality”. In his left hand he is holding a wooden conch shell, inside which is also a conch-shaped baptismal bowl made of pewter . Baron von Manteuffel donated this to the church in 1868 . In his right hand he holds a scroll with a quote from the Gospel according to Matthew : “Let the little children come to me” ( Mt 19:14 EU ). After being damaged in World War II , the angel was restored for the first time in 1962. The BLDAM recognizes the largely preserved polychrome with a silver-plated robe, red in the top of green and at the bottom of lust is. The wings and a bow in the hair are designed in golden color. Further restorations took place in 1997 and 2002. Additions to the arms and feet were necessary after the figure had fallen to the ground several times. The hanging technology is described as functional.
The organ was first built in Liedekahle in 1787 , then moved to the church in 1848 by the organ builder Friedrich August Moschütz from Herzberg, where the sound was adjusted. In 1936 Alexander Schuke installed a new organ with seven stops on a manual and pedal in the existing prospectus. The prospectus is in baroque form.
There are remains of a late Gothic wall painting on the north and east walls. On the north wall these are fragments of the Passion , on the east wall the remains of Lawrence of Rome are depicted. They were created along with other consecration crosses in the 15th century. A tombstone on the outer east wall of the choir commemorates Johann Friedrich von Stutterheim, who died in 1616 . In the south-east corner of the choir, a sculpture commemorates the fallen from the First World War .
