history

Großbeuthen was first mentioned in a document in 1375. The congregation built the building probably on the foundations of an earlier building between 1713 and 1714. The church patronage was those of Schlabrendorf and those of Görzke . They donated the building as a branch church of the parish church in Gröben . In 1796, craftsmen had to dismantle the wooden west tower due to its dilapidation and replace it in 1847 with a new stone building with a tower clock, in which three bells originally hung. In 1848 the structure was badly damaged in a storm and then repaired. At 260 kg, the largest of the bells with the strike tone D was a gift from Goerzke and had to be given as a metal donation by the German people during the First World War ; she got lost. The smallest bell with the strike note B experienced the same fate . It came from the chapel in Kleinbeuthen and was probably cast in the 13th century. The 100 kg heavy, middle bell with the strike tone G could be retrieved from the bell cemetery . In 1884 the building received a harmonium . In 1902, craftsmen renovated the building and painted the wooden ceiling with a blue sky, clouds and 280 stars. Another renovation took place around 1985, which was initiated by a homeland association. The work was provisionally concluded with another church consecration on June 18, 1989. In 2012, work on the base was necessary to protect the structure against the ingress of groundwater.

Building description

The choir has not moved in and has a three-sided ending. This is followed by the nave with a rectangular plan to the west. There are four large, rectangular windows on the north side and three on the south side. There is still a rectangular gate on the south side. Both parts, the choir and nave, were built from half-timbering, with the compartment being made of wood painted dark, into which white plastered surfaces were incorporated. The nave is a simple gable roof covered the choir with a halved pyramidal roof . The church tower has a square floor plan and is strongly indented in relation to the nave. This makes it appear comparatively slim. It was built in the neo-Romanesque style from dark brick and has a large, segment-arched window on the north and south side on the lower floor . There is a portal on the west side. A cornice visually separates the adjoining storey from one another. There is a large, segment-arched window, followed by a new cornice and the acoustic arcades above the roof ridge of the nave , which radiate on each side. A tower clock is no longer available. The tower itself ends with a bent, octagonal helmet and a tower ball with a cross.

Furnishing

The wooden, baroque pulpit altar comes from the Trebbin carpenter Aswig Hahn from the time the church was built. It has a polygonal pulpit , which is decorated with twisted vine-leaf columns and acanthus cheeks . The predella shows the last supper . Originally the family coats of arms of those of Schlabrendorf and those of Goerzke were attached to the side of the painting. In blown- gable is Jesus Christ to see the two side-mounted Putten is accompanied. The patronage gallery dates back to 1714. In 1989, craftsmen installed the coats of arms there that were previously attached to the pulpit. The west gallery was built in 1719 and restored in 1902. There are several gravestones in the staircase of the church tower, including a children's gravestone from the first half of the 19th century. The bell that remained in the tower was probably cast in the 14th or 15th century.
