Building description and history

Even before today's church was built, there was a church in Hirschfeld that was referred to as the gallery church in an article published in 1924 in the local history series Die Schwarze Elster . Erected on poor ground in 1470, however, this building was constantly in need of repair. The tower of this church finally collapsed during repair work on April 26, 1769, whereby the old nave was also badly damaged and ultimately made a new building necessary.

Today's Hirschfelder Church is a late baroque plastered hall building from 1786. West of the nave is a square church tower with an octagonal top, tail hood , lantern and onion .

Restorations of the building are known from the following years: 1818/19 (roofing of the tower with slate), 1857 (restoration of the interior of the church by the Großenhain painter Schwinghoff), 1862 (new roofing of the tower, whitewashing of the church with lime and removal of the weather vane and the ball which was gilded in Grossenhain) and in 1889 (demolition and rebuilding of the steeple). Between 1979 and 1982 the church was extensively restored. After the fall of the Wall, extensive reconstruction work was carried out on the church tower from 1996 onwards . In 1997 a new bell was cast for the Hirschfeld Church.

Parish Hirschfeld

Hirschfeld was designated as a parish as early as 1495. In 1539, pastor Michel Klemm gave the first evangelical sermon here. In the meantime, in addition to Hirschfeld, the south-western and now Saxon shrub (1575–1636) also belonged to the parish . The Romanesque structure of the church, which only got its tower in 1864, is one of the oldest in the area today.

The core of the two-storey half - timbered building of the Hirschfeld rectory, which is now under monument protection, dates back to 1690. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Schraden Vorwerk Schönau was also referred to as a parish. From 1987 Hirschfeld was co-administered by the neighboring community of Großthiemig.

In the present, for the part Kirchenkreis Bad Liebenwerda associated parish Hirschfeld next Hirschfeld the Schrade communities Großthiemig and Val Gardena on.

Equipment (selection)

The interior of the church is characterized by a two-storey horseshoe gallery. In the west the gallery swings out. The organ of the Hirschfeld Church is located here.

The sandstone baptism in the church has a slim baluster base and dates from 1836. This baptismal font was a gift from the church patron Freiherr von Rochow and was given to the Hirschfeld parish during a festive ceremony on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the church. The pulpit altar on the east wall is crowned by God's eye in a halo.

On the south wall there is a high relief carved from one piece and depicting the Lamentation of Christ . This piece dates from 1520. The furnishings also include a baroque baptismal angel from 1690, which was partially supplemented in 1978. There are also three carved figures from the third quarter of the 15th century .

organ

Hirschfeld received its first organ in 1702, and it was incorporated into the new church in 1786. In 1818 this instrument was repaired again by the Liebenwerda organ builder Wendt for 85 thalers.

In the church there is now an organ created in 1842 by the Meißen organ builder Friedrich Gottheld Pfützner . The three-part prospectus from 1702 was reused. The instrument was extensively repaired in the course of the restoration work on the church in the early 1980s by the Moritzburg organ builder Wilhelm Rühle . Another restoration followed in 2014 by the same organ building company.

The organ, equipped with an independent pedal , has mechanical slide chests , a manual and 14 stops . The organ is the largest surviving Pfützner organ and has largely been preserved in its original form. The disposition is as follows:
