The village church Drewitz is the Protestant church of the village of Drewitz in the city of Möckern in Saxony-Anhalt .

History and architecture

The church was built in 1897 in neo-Romanesque style as a brick hall church . The church tower stands on a rectangular plan to the west of the nave. The tower has stepped gables and a gable roof on all four sides . A square roof turret with a lantern and a pointed hood is located diagonally on the tower roof . The nave has four axles, and to the east is the choir with a transverse rectangular floor plan. A sacristy annex is located on the north side of the nave.

The interior of the church is spanned by a boarded roof truss. There is a gallery on the west side . A colored glass window from the construction period has been preserved in the choir, which shows Christ as the good shepherd as a motif. Heinrich Oidtmann is believed to be the window-making artist . On the choir wall behind the altar is a painting from the early 18th century depicting the Last Supper. The picture could originally have been the predella of a baroque altar in the demolished church of Gloine .

The organ prospect in the church is designed in the neo-Romanesque style. The organ on the gallery was refurbished around the turn of the millennium by the company Fahlberg based in Eberswalde .
