location

history
The sacred building was built in the first half of the 13th century. The church consecration probably took place in 1229. In 1529 the first church and school visitation took place there in the presence of Martin Luther . During a fire in the village in the 16th century, the building also fell victim to the flames. Further destruction took place during the Thirty Years' War when Swedish troops set up camp in the structure. In the 18th century, the enlarged parish numerous windows, leaving a loft install and exchanged the pews. The first restoration took place in 1955. The building was extensively renovated from 2009 to 2010.
Building description
The structure was essentially built from field stones , some of which were hewn and layered in places. This created a complete system . The apse is strongly drawn in and semicircular. The field stones were hardly hewn in the lower area and layered up to the lower third. Above it are three arched windows with plastered walls . Repair work with field stones and reddish brick can be seen on the side . The windows should nevertheless correspond in position and size to the appearance from the construction period. In a with plain tile roofed conical roof .
The choir has a rectangular floor plan. The east wall is closed and some corner stones are carefully carved. Above it extends the gable , which was created from uncut and partly layered field stones. In the middle at the height of the roof ridge is a cross-shaped opening. There are two large arched windows on the north side, as well as on the south side. There is also at the transition to the nave a pointed arch-shaped priest's gate with a double stepped garment. It could also come from the construction time. It is noticeable that on the south wall in the upper, western area, significantly larger field stones were built, some of which are hewn.
The nave also has a rectangular floor plan. On the north side there are two high arched windows that extend almost the entire height of the long wall. In the middle area, large field stone blocks are built in, which were layered and hewn. The lines run at the transition to the choir. At the transition to the west tower are two arched windows arranged one above the other. A plastered area can be seen between the two windows. It is therefore conceivable that this change was made with the installation of a gallery in order to better illuminate the area below. The southern wall of the nave is dominated by a large arched door. Their garments are carefully carved, especially in the upper area. Above it is a pressed, segment-arched window slightly off-center to the east. Another gate is in the western area, above it a tall rectangular and narrow opening that could have been from the construction period. The nave and choir have a simple gable roof with a beaver tail. The parish describes in a church guide an "impressive spatial effect" that is caused by the clear structure of the room.
Above it extends the west tower, which is supported on the west side by a mighty buttress with a monopitch roof . In its lower area it is windowless; the lower half of the west wall was built from carefully hewn stones. In the center, brickwork repair work can be seen. There may have been an opening here at an earlier time. The late Gothic structure above was made of unhewn and not layered, significantly smaller field stones. In the bell storey there are two arched sound arcades on the west and east sides and one arched sound arcade on the north and south sides . On top of it sits the transversely rectangular gable roof , the gables of which were built from half-timbered houses .
Furnishing
The church furnishings were mainly purchased between 1709 and 1713, including the stalls and the west gallery. The inside of the building is flat-roofed and has a pointed triumphal arch .
A memorial to the south of the church commemorates those who fell from the world wars.
