The Protestant village church Friedersdorf is a neo-Gothic religious building from the end of the 19th century in Friedersdorf , a district of the Heidesee community in the Dahme-Spreewald 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 Linde road leads as a central link in a north-south direction through the town. On the historic village green, the main road to the west spans an elliptical plot on which the building stands. The area is not fenced in .
history
Until 1878 there was a small half-timbered church in the village , which had become old and dilapidated over the centuries. After it was demolished, the building contractor Möhring from Beeskow built a new building between 1878 and 1880 based on a design by building inspector Deutschmann. According to the Brandenburg State Office for Monument Preservation and State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM), the bricklayer foreman Grasse from Glienicke and the carpenter Aumann from Groß Lichterfelde were involved in the execution . The consecration took place on June 10, 1880. In 1904 and 1905 the parish had renovations carried out, the exact execution of which is not yet known. The three bells that existed at that time were gradually lost in the course of the two world wars in the course of metal donations by the German people . In 1917 this hit the medium-sized bell first, and in 1923 the big bell from 1305. At the end of World War II , the parish also lost the third bell from 1621 in 1943. A steel bell from 1922 was added as a “replacement” the steeple. In the 1960s, the interior was redesigned. In 1994 the municipality had a photovoltaic system installed on the gable roof of the nave. In the same year, craftsmen drew a glass wall below the gallery , with which a winter church could be realized in the now separated room .
Building description
The structure was essentially made of dark brick . The choir is strongly drawn in and has a five-eighth ending . At the end of the choir, as well as on the adjacent fields, there is a pointed arch window with tracery , in between three stepped buttresses . At the transition to the roof is a circumferential frieze that continues on the nave . On the north and south sides of the choir there is a strongly recessed extension with a rectangular floor plan. On the east side there is a round arched window, on the north and south side there is an ogival gate. Above the east wall rises an elaborately designed stepped gable , in each of which seven fields a panel with tracery was worked around a frieze attached above. The east wall of the ship is otherwise closed.
The side walls of the nave are strictly symmetrical. Between each stepped buttress is a pressed segment arch-shaped window in the lower area, above a lancet window with tracery . On the southern nave there is an ogival gate in the eastern field. The ship has a simple saddle roof, on the southern side of which a photovoltaic system has been installed.
The 47 m high, square and strongly indented west tower is attached to the ship. It can be entered through an ogival west portal with a double stepped wall . On the north and south sides there is a polygonal extension each with a pointed arch window in the lower floor and three further windows in the floor above . The west gable is also stepped and decorated with panels. The surrounding frieze on the nave continues as a narrow cornice on the tower floor. The slender shape is emphasized by recessed fields, so that the horizontally running lines look upwards as pilaster strips . In the fields created in this way, there is one ogival opening in the lower area and two in pairs above. Above a further cornice there are three sound arcades on each side , above that an eight-fold kinked spire with a tower clock; above it a tower ball with a cross.
Furnishing
The church furnishings, consisting of altar , pulpit and fifth , were replaced in the 1960s. Only an altar cross and a brass baptismal bowl have survived. A wooden crucifix hangs behind the now simple cafeteria . The windows in the choir show the birth of Jesus , the crucifixion of Christ and the resurrection of Jesus Christ in a colored glass painting . On the west gallery there is an organ with two manuals by Albert Lang from Berlin . A ray-shaped decorated glass wall was drawn in underneath, opening up the space behind as a winter church. There are four wooden plaques in the church which, among other things, commemorate those who died in the Wars of Liberation .
A memorial to the south-east of the church commemorates six soldiers known by name and 21 unknown soldiers.
In 2018 there was only one bell in the tower, which the parish received as a replacement during World War II. It dates from 1922, was cast from steel and has a diameter of over one meter and a weight of around 700 kg. The parish tries to complete the ringing with two more bells.
