location

The federal highway 101 leads from the north in a southern direction through the place. From here, highway 715 branches off in a south-westerly direction. The church stands a few hundred meters southwest of this intersection on a property with a church cemetery that is fenced in with a fence .

history

The building was built in the second half of the 13th century and was partially plastered at a later date . After the Thirty Years' War , it was given a bell tower in the middle of the nave in 1673 , which was torn down again at an unknown time. For a long time the church patronage lay with the Schönermark family, who added a patronage box to the north and had the windows " baroque " expanded. At the end of the 19th century the church was extended to the west and the entrance area was redesigned. It also received a small bell tower that was changed after the end of the Second World War . After 1949 the patronage box was used as a mourning hall. In July 2000 a comprehensive renovation of the structure began. After an appraisal documented the condition of the building, work began in December 2001. They included a renovation of the building envelope, but also a new color scheme based on the documented painting in the 19th century.

Building description

The structure was essentially made of field stones , some of which were plastered. The choir has a rectangular floor plan and is retracted. The stones are hewn and largely layered. In the east are two small ogival windows that, according to the Niederer Fläming municipality, date from the construction period. On the north and south sides they are pressed-segment-arch-shaped and clearly enlarged. They are supplemented by a walled-up priest gate on the south side.

The nave is dominated by the large patronage annex on its north side. It was also made of field stones, of which only an unplastered base can be seen. At the transition from the choir to the north-eastern long wall is a buttress , to the west of it a large window. The annex itself, like the ship, has a square floor plan. It can be entered from the north via a portal; above it is a window, also on the west and east sides. On the south side of the long wall is an ogival portal. The south side of the nave is dominated by three large windows; framed a further buttress each to the west and east of it.

The main entrance, however, was through a triple-profiled, ogival portal, which was bordered with reddish bricks. Above it is a brick quatrefoil . Above rises a tower tower with two pointed arch- shaped sound arcades , above a circular screen . Both the tower and the nave have a simple gable roof , and the tower also has a cross.

Furnishing

The wooden, neo-Gothic altarpiece shows a figurative representation of the risen Christ , accompanied by the apostles Paul of Tarsus and Simon Peter . It dates from the second half of the 19th century. The church also includes a painting of Golgotha from 1676.

The building has a baroque west gallery ; the south pore was removed. It is covered flat on the inside. A bell hangs in the tower, which was cast by Billich in Wittenberg in 1681. A classical epitaph in the cemetery commemorates Chr. E. Wollkeylin, who died in 1797.
