Hohenleipisch village church
The Protestant village church Hohenleipisch is a listed church building in the municipality of Hohenleipisch in the southern Brandenburg district of Elbe-Elster . It belongs to the Elsterwerda parish in the Bad Liebenwerda parish of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .
history
The Hohenleipischer village church was built at the beginning of the 13th century under the influence of the Dobrilugk monastery . With the introduction of the Reformation , the parish changed to the Protestant creed. After the church was damaged in the Thirty Years War, it was repaired in 1656. In the course of this, the late Gothic Coronation Altar was transformed into a Trinitarian one . The apse was enlarged in 1752 and the organ gallery was added in 1755. In 1781 the altar was combined with the pulpit on the south side of the apse to form a pulpit altar . In 1875 the staircases to the galleries were removed and a new access was created through openings to the west tower.
The church tower was badly damaged on the night of August 23, 1903 as a result of a fire caused by a lightning strike. The bells and the tower clock , which were cast at the large bell foundry in Dresden in 1881, fell into the depths and were destroyed. The upper part of the west transverse tower was then renewed in a modified form from 1906 to 1912 under the direction of the Elsterwerda master mason Friedrich Jage . The west portal also dates from the same time. The new bells were again made in a Dresden bell foundry. The hand-forged weather vane made of copper comes from the Mühlberg workshop Friese.
During a renovation in 1976, the worm-eaten side galleries were removed and the pulpit was placed on the southern archway. A comprehensive restoration followed in 2001.
architecture
The plastered hall made of field stones has a west tower and a low, recessed and polygonal apse . The nave is of a saddle roof exposed and covered by windows with flat segmental arches. Only the eastern lancet window in the apse is preserved from the Gothic period , while the other windows were enlarged in the Baroque era. In the north a square sacristy is built under a towing roof , in the south a gable-independent porch under a gable roof with three arched blind niches in the gable triangle.
The with a hipped roof provided retracted tower is centrally a roof turret with oktonaler , open lantern and spire placed. The upper floor of the tower serves as a bell house and has three narrow, round-arched sound holes on each side . In the dormer on the south side of the tower structure, the clock face of the tower is attached under the gable triangle.
Furnishing
Crucifix from 1656
Carved altar from the 15th century
pulpit
Font from the 15th century
The interior of the church is characterized by a flat plastered ceiling that cuts through the semi-dome of the apse. A wooden organ gallery is built in to the west and rests on square wooden posts.
The late Gothic carved altar from the end of the 15th century was restored to its original shape as a winged altar around 1960 . In the large central field it shows the coronation of Mary, which is flanked by a total of twelve fields with figures, which are set up in two zones under the keel arch against a gilded background. Furthermore, there is a baptismal font from the 15th century in the church. A three-nail type crucifix bears the year 1656. The Bible verse from Acts 10.43 LUT can be read under the cross in the open Bible . The wooden polygonal pulpit from the same period is richly carved and shows the evangelists with their evangelist symbols under round arches in the pulpit fields between free columns .
organ
The front-playing organ in the church today dates from 1885 and was created by the Hausneindorf organ builder Ernst Röver (op. 5). The transversely rectangular flat prospectus is divided into a lower and upper housing by circumferential profiled cornices. Six pilasters surround three fields of pipes, between which two Bible verses are painted ( Ps 100,1 LUT and Lk 1,46 LUT ). The organ has a mechanical box drawer , two manuals , pedal and 14 stops . In 2017, the Moritzburg organ building company Rühle carried out extensive repairs and cleaning . The original disposition has been preserved unchanged:
