location

The village road leads from the northwest in a southeast direction through the village. It spans a village green in the historic village center . The church stands in the middle of the Angers on a piece of land that is partially enclosed with a wall made of hewn and layered field stones , and partially with a hunter's fence .

history

The Brandenburg State Office for Monument Preservation and State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) suspects that the lower halves of the wall may have been built as early as the late 12th century. They essentially consist of irregular masonry, while the overlying layers of ashlars probably date from the first half of the 13th century. A church leader therefore describes that the building was built "around 1300". Gebersdorf was first mentioned in documents until 1368. At the time of late Gothic came west tower added. The church was partially destroyed in the Thirty Years War and renovated in 1678. From May 16, 1608 to June 29, 1679, Melchior von Schlomach worked in the village. He was the first heir, feudal lord and court lord in town. The repair of the church went back to him. An epitaph in the building reminds of his work. A restoration took place between 1940 and 1942. The expressionist Conrad Felixmüller made a painting in 1940.

Building description

South wall of the ship

The building was essentially made of field stones, which were uncut in the lower area and not layered. In the overlying layers, there are cuboid surfaces on the wall surfaces. The apse is semicircular and strongly drawn in. On the east side there is an arched window, the shape of which is emphasized by a plastered fascia . This is followed by the choir to the west . It has a square floor plan and has also moved in. On the north and south sides there is an enlarged Baroque window; on the south side a priest's gate , which could come from the construction period.

This is followed by the nave. On the north and south sides there are three windows of different sizes, of which the one to the west is supplemented by another window. All openings were enlarged at a later date and emphasized with plastered bezels. On the south side there is a community gate between the western and the middle window.

Another entrance is a small portal on the south side of the rectangular and late Gothic church tower. There is a tower clock on the north and south sides. In the bell storey there are one on the north and one on the south side and two on the west and two on the east side of the coupled acoustic arcades . The tower has a crooked hip roof that is positioned crosswise .

Furnishing

The church furnishings essentially date from around 1678. This includes an altarpiece , which in its classic sequence shows the Last Supper in the predella and the crucifixion group in the altar leaf . The wooden pulpit , which is decorated with paintings of Salvator mundi and the evangelists , dates from the same period . The paintings were restored by Felixmüller in 1940.

An epitaph commemorates Wolf Diet (e) rich von Zerbst, who died in 1711 . On the north wall of the nave is a gallery , the parapet paintings of which are dated to 1678. They alternate sayings and scenes from salvation history : Paradise, the Flood, the birth of Christ and Pentecost. They are complemented by paintings on the swinging west gallery, which show paradise and hell. On the west gallery there is an organ with a baroque prospect .

A Gothic sacrament niche with a baroque door, which is located in the apse, is also part of the furnishings . Patronage stalls from 1940 stand in the north choir. Except for the apse dome, the building has a wooden coffered ceiling and a triumphal and apse arch .
