history
The village of Hennickendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1307 and is probably derived from a locator Henning or Hennig . A predecessor St. Nikolai building has been handed down from 1342 , which was probably built by the Cistercians , who ruled the area from 1307 to 1553. In 1851 the church, like half of the village, was destroyed in a fire.
In the years 1856-1858 the established church a new building for a type design based on Friedrich August Stüler back. On June 1, 1900, lightning struck the cross on the west tower and destroyed part of the stone wall and the interior. During the Second World War , the municipality had to give up two of the original three bells as part of a metal donation by the German people . They were melted down and thus lost. From 1960 to 1970, the municipality changed the interior again and furnished it with modern furnishings. In 2010 there was another renovation, in which a winter church was installed.
Building description
The retracted choir was built from unevenly layered and uncut field stones with a five- eighth end. The double-stepped buttresses are made of reddish brick and emphasize the shape of the building. The same applies to the three pointed arched windows in the choir, designed with colored artificial glass, the reveal of which was highlighted in the same way. Above the pyramid roof, which is covered with black slate, is a stepped gable made of brick with seven panels , of which the two middle panels are open. In between there is a tower clock with black hands and a white clock face, which is crowned by a circular opening in the top stepped gable. The base of the choir, as well as the nave, is also made of uncut field stone. It is not known whether this is the foundation of a previous building.
The massive stone walls dominate the north and south sides of the nave. The windows, which are also in the shape of a pointed arch, are arranged axially symmetrically and set extremely high. They are also edged with reddish brick.
Access to the structure is via the west side, which was also built from field stone in the lower area. Double-stepped buttresses at the corners emphasize the outlines of the sacred building. The west portal can be reached via three steps, which consists of a double-winged, ogival door that is framed in a small porch with a cross above it. To the left and right of the portal is a small, rectangular window. Above the portal are three, compared to the other windows, significantly smaller, coupled openings. A cornice separates the tower floor from the substructure. Analogous to the choir side, a screen gable with sound arcades and a clock tower was also built here.
Furnishing
The equipment is modern. The lead glass window in the end of the choir shows Jesus Christ . The inside of the building is flat covered and has a west gallery .
