_S%C3%BCdostansicht.jpg)
The Protestant village church Eggersdorf is a field stone church from the 14th century in Eggersdorf , a district of the town of Müncheberg in the Märkisch-Oderland district in the state of Brandenburg . The church belongs to the parish of Oderland-Spree of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .
location
The main road runs from the northwest in a southeast direction through the village. At the historic center of the village, it is spanned by the north-facing side street . The church stands on a hill on the land enclosed in this way. To the north are the remains of a wall with a Gothic portal through which the surrounding cemetery could be entered at an earlier time. The building is also surrounded by adjacent buildings and not fenced in .
history
The sacred building was probably built in the 14th century and was rebuilt in an unspecified manner in the 15th century , according to the Brandenburg State Office for Monument Preservation and State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) . It is conceivable that craftsmen first built the choir and then the nave . In a lock register from this period, four hooves are recorded for the parish. In the middle of the 18th century the parish had the windows enlarged in a "baroque" style. The square west tower was added in the first half of the 19th century . The weather vane shows the year 1839, presumably the preliminary end of the construction work. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1992, the parish had an electric heater, an electrically operated bell, and a toilet and kitchen installed. In 1995 craftsmen worked on the left church window; In 2000 plastering work took place on the outside and in 2001 on the inside of the church tower. In 2002 the west portal and the priest gate were refurbished. Two years later, the windows in the middle tower floor could be renovated. In 2005 the stone floor was renewed, in 2007 the stairs to the church. With the paving of the path between the stairs and the church, the work was finished.
Building description
_Westportal.jpg)
The structure was essentially built from uncut and not layered field stones and bricks . Remnants of plaster can be seen on the entire structure . The choir is drawn in straight and strong. On the east wall, the remains of a group of three windows added with stones can be seen . The east gable is made of stone and decorated with multi-part panels . In the middle is a circular opening, above it the remainder of a possibly modern tracery . On the north side of the chancel there are two large, segment-arched windows, the facings of which have been reworked with brick. There are plaster residues on the reveal . On the south side there is only a similar window in the eastern area. To the west is a priest's gate . Its walls were built from carefully hewn Rüdersdorfer plate limestone with a fighter . This suggests that it comes from the original construction period.
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. It is noticeably shortened compared to the choir. The parish states that this may be due to a "catastrophe" that was not discussed further. The corner stones are partially carved. On the north and south side there is also an enlarged baroque window. The choir and nave have a simple gable roof .
The church tower is square and strongly drawn in. It was erected on a field stone base with plastered bricks on top. Access is via a large, rectangular gate from the west. The two remaining sides of the basement are closed. The middle floor is separated from the lower structure by a cornice . There is a tall rectangular window on the three accessible sides, above a rectangular panel with an inner, circular panel. A tower clock could originally have been there, or the preparation for a later, unrealized installation. The bell storey is separated by another cornice. In addition to two vertical panels, there is also a vertical acoustic arcade in the middle . The tower ends with a pyramid roof with a tower ball , weather vane and star.
Furnishing
The pulpit altar was created by the sculptor JC Martin in 1746. It consists of a polygonal pulpit whose parapets are painted with images of Jesus Christ and the evangelists .
