Glienick village church
The Protestant village church Glienick is a hall church in Glienick , a district of the town of Zossen in the Teltow-Fläming district in Brandenburg . It belongs to the parish of Christinendorf-Glienick of the Evangelical Church District Zossen-Fläming of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .
location
The church stands in the middle of the western area of the village floodplain, which runs elliptically through the village in a north-south direction. In its center is a small pond. The rectory is to the north of the building. Both buildings, like the surrounding cemetery, are built with a wall made of uncut and not layered field stones , the spaces between which are filled with wall chippings and granite fragments.
history
So far, not much is known about the building history. The Dehio manual speaks of a late medieval building, which describes the period from the middle of the 13th to the end of the 15th or beginning of the 16th century. The town of Zossen indicates the period from 1400 to 1500 as its origin on an information board in the town. A plaque in front of the church refers to investigations of the building site, which suggest that it was built in the 13th century. However, it may also be a previous building that was destroyed in the Thirty Years War , or a new building was built on the foundations. What is certain is that the church in 1730, had to renew the east wall after 1728 collapsed in a storm of the eastern gable. In 1751 the west tower received a tower clock . Ten years later, structural damage appeared again, which made repairs to the church necessary. The tower, which was probably built from field stones before, was given a smooth plaster. In 1782 craftsmen had to carry out repairs on the tower again. These are also not permanent, so that in 1803 the tower was dismantled down to the foundation and then expanded to three storeys. In 1903 the nave was given a wooden barrel vault and a year later an organ from the Dinse brothers from Berlin.
In the years 1907 to 1908, a general renovation of the building was carried out for 8,322 gold marks . Workers found a fifth from 1570 in the attic and set it up in the church. Before the outbreak of the First World War , three bells hung in the tower. The parish had to hand over the smallest bell - from 1599 - as part of a metal donation by the German people ; she got lost. An exchange of letters from 1949 has come down to us, according to which the tower clock could no longer be repaired and was removed. From 1972 to 1976 the sacred building was repaired again . In 2011 the plaster was renovated and the church was given a new coat of paint.
Building description
The choir has not moved in and has a three-sided east end. Above a gray plastered plinth, on each of the lightly plastered sides, there are three baroque , segment-arched and large windows, the fins of which have been emphasized with white paint. The viewer can also find this formal language on the north and south walls of the nave. Here are two windows of the same size that were built into the outer third of the wall. On the south side there is also an identically shaped, simple gate. The square west tower connects to the west. On the lower floor there is a small, circular window on the north and south sides. On the west side, another identically designed portal enables access. The middle floor is a little narrower. There is a large window on the west side and two significantly smaller ones on the north and south sides, followed by three rectangular sound arcades of the same size on a slightly recessed floor. Four small openings can be seen below the ridge of the tower. This is followed by the pyramid roof , which ends with a tower ball with a weather vane and cross. All roof areas are covered with red beaver tail .
Furnishing
The pulpit altar decorated with carved cheeks was created in the 18th century with a blown gable and carved cheeks. An octagonal, wooden fifth in the style of the Renaissance could be dated to the year 1570 and was restored in 1976. It was found in 1908 while cleaning up the attic. The organ prospect, like the stalls and the horseshoe gallery , presumably dates from the first half of the 18th century. Two late medieval bells hang in the tower, which are dated to the years 1518 and 1519.
In front of the church, on the village green, there is a memorial for those who died in the world wars.
