The Protestant village church Hönow is a Romanesque hall church in the district of Hönow von Hoppegarten in the Märkisch-Oderland district in Brandenburg . It belongs to the parish Hönow in the parish of Lichtenberg-Oberspree of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia and is an open church .
History and architecture
The village church is a carefully bricked stone block building from the first half of the 13th century. It consists of the short stubby ship, choir and semicircular apse in clearly staggering and the prominent west tower in Beam. A dendrochronological examination of the scaffolding timber of the choir roof structure resulted in the year 1320. The upper floor of the tower is structured with diaphragms and inscribed ogival sound openings and dates from the 15th century. The west portal and the nave windows were last changed in 1857. At the southwest corner of the tower is a stone decorated like a chessboard .
Inside the two-bay nave is opened to the choir by a round arch and to the tower by a pointed arch. In the nave, while reinforcing the walls, cross-ribbed vaults with five-point opposing cross-ribs were built in with pear-shaped ribs ; The apse closes with a semi-dome.
The church was badly damaged by aerial mines on the roof in World War II on March 30, 1943 and received several artillery hits on the gables . A makeshift reconstruction could only be carried out in 1947. Since 1989 the village church of Hönow has had its own pastor again. Since then, the church has been renovated until 2002, with the church yard cleared, the south gate reopened, the tower restored, the walls structurally secured and the roofs re-covered. The walled up apse windows were also reopened. Every year kestrels nest at the church.
Furnishing
The organ is a work of the Sauer Orgelbau company from 1953 and was expanded to ten registers on two manuals and pedal by the Wolter organ building workshop . The consecration took place on December 20, 1998 by Roland Münch.
In July 1917 two old bronze bells were handed in for war purposes. On November 14, 1923, three new sound steel bells with a weight of 350, 500 and 900 kg were inaugurated. The inscriptions read: “I call the living to worship”, “I ring peace and tranquility for the dead” and “People come and go, God remains.”
