history

When Frankendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1299, the village did not yet have a village church. This was built in the 14th century. The building is a hall made of field stone masonry with edging made of lawn iron stones . The east wall of the church was extended with a three-window group in the 15th century (the list of monuments of the state of Brandenburg dates the building to 1486). Above it is a brick gable with six quarter-round panels. The slightly retracted boarded west tower was probably added around 1711. There is a tent roof attached to the tower .

At around the same time, changes were made to the side windows. On the north side of the building there is a profiled pointed arch portal, the door leaves are dated to 1565. On the side walls there are two arched windows in the north and three arched windows in the south. The brick porch on the north wall was added at the beginning of the 20th century. Inside the church there is a beamed ceiling and galleries on the north and west sides. In the east windows there are still late Gothic stained glass fragments from the 15th century depicting the crucifixion of Jesus and the Man of Sorrows . The organ in the church was built in 1803 by the organ builder Carl Gotthold Claunigk and is also a listed building independently of the church.

In November 2002, the spire of the church was renovated and equipped with a new weathercock. Shortly afterwards, the tower was given new wooden cladding.

Already in the 19th century Frankendorf belonged to the former parish of Görlsdorf and to the Superintendentur Luckau, which was later transformed into the parish of Luckau. From 1922 to 1953 the church district belonged to the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union and then to the Evangelical Church of the Union . On March 1, 1998, the Luckau parish merged with the Lübben-Calau parish to form the new Lübben parish . Since 2003 the parish of Görlsdorf-Frankendorf has been part of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia. In 2010 the parish of Lübben merged with the parish of Finsterwalde to form today's parish of Niederlausitz .
