Building description and history

Steeple

The church in Friedersdorf, which was founded around 1200 and which belonged to the Dobrilugk Monastery from 1217 , has an early Gothic structure and is one of the oldest buildings in the region. Its construction time is dated to the first half of the 13th century.

The building is an elongated hall construction made of lawn iron stone with a field stone base, to the nave of which the retracted square choir with a semicircular apse is attached to the east . To the west of the ship is a church tower dating from the time of construction. However, the top of which arose only in 1722 in the framework construction of brick . The tower was treated with a hipped roof provided, on which there is a small square skylights with lamp and tail cap is located. The year 1722 can be seen on the weather vane that crowns the building. A sacristy can be found on the north side of the choir, the core of which also dates back to the 13th century. In the south of the choir, a late medieval addition made of mixed masonry is placed in front of it.

This southern extension hides a pointed arched priest's gate on the south side, the Gothic iron fittings on the door leaf are still quite well preserved. While the round arched portal, which later collapsed in the west, was bricked up again over time, another gate can be found on the south side of the nave. Originally, like the priest's gate, it was pointedly arched, but today it is rounded. Similar changes were made to the nave windows. They, too, originally had an ogival shape and were then enlarged to make a basket arch. The windows of the apse, however, still have their original narrow lancet shape.

Equipment (selection)

The interior of the church is characterized by a flat wooden ceiling in the nave and galleries on the north and south sides . Wide pointed arches connect the hall of the church tower with the nave and the adjoining choir. The ceiling in the choir has a cross vault. In the apse, which can be reached through a round arch, there is a wooden half-dome. Their original vault was lost over time.

There are paintings on the walls, some of which were created in the 13th century. The galleries of the church were originally two-story, they were reduced during restoration work in 1956 and have been single-story since then. The polygonal pulpit has its origins in the 17th century.

Other pieces of equipment include a large round stone baptism from the 13th century with a chalice-shaped cup on a short shaft with a foot. A crucifix in the church is of baroque origin. Two bells in the church are dated to the 13th century.

organ

The instrument that can be seen in the church today is an organ that was created in 1984 by the Bad Liebenwerda organ building company Voigt . The carved prospectus , however, still comes from an organ that was built by the Dresden organ builder Johann Heinrich Gräbner the Elder in 1699 . Elder (1665-1739) created. This makes it the oldest organ prospect in the Elbe-Elster region . The manual drawer, which actually holds 12 registers, and the manual keyboard also come from the old organ, which was originally located in the Jüterbog monks' church . The organ has a mechanical slide box , five stops on a manual and pedal .
