The Protestant village church Hohennauen is a hall church from around 1720 in Hohennauen , a district of the Seeblick community in the Havelland district in Brandenburg . The church belongs to the church circle center Mark Brandenburg of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .
location
The federal highway 102 leads from the north in a southerly direction through the place. From here the Seestrasse branches off to the southeast. The church stands between the B 102 and Seestrasse on a plot of land that is fenced in with a wall made of reddish bricks .
history
Hohennauen was first mentioned in 1312 and at that time it was owned by the von Hagen family . The church tower , built in the middle of the 13th century, was given a new bell storey in 1596 . The church was built between 1710 and 1720 on the foundation of a previous building. It was renovated from 1983 to 1987. Subsequently, no further maintenance work was carried out and the structure was neglected.
In 2009 a support association was founded, on whose initiative the church tower was repaired in 2017. In 2018 the church roof was refurbished, the ship's masonry drained and the base refurbished. A new bell was purchased to replace a bell that was melted down during the First World War . The interior was renovated from 2019 to 2020. Workers found 15 old grave slabs, the oldest of which could be dated to 1576. Below are family crypts, but they have not been opened. The organ will be repaired in 2020 .
Building description
The building was essentially made of bricks, which were then plastered . The choir has not moved in and has a three-sided choir closure . The structure is divided into fields with the help of pilaster strips through an additional plaster . In the choir there are three large, arched windows, the shape of which is emphasized again by fashing .
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On its north side there is also a rectangular extension that served as a patron s lodge . There are four large arched windows as well as a raised window in the middle with a gate underneath, with which the box could be entered from the outside. In the eastern area there are two more windows arranged one above the other. The south side of the nave is simply designed and has a large arched window in each of the six fields.
The late Romanesque church tower was built from brick. It can be entered from the north-west through an arched portal. It is decorated by three glare panels and a cross panel. On the bell floor there are two arched sound arcades with a clock tower in between. Above a frieze that opens downwards is a pyramid roof that ends with a cross.
Furnishing
The church furnishings are predominantly designed in the Renaissance style and come from the previous building. The Brandenburg State Office for Monument Preservation and State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) describes them in its database as " high quality". The altarpiece with fittings dates from around 1600. It is a three-story structure with cheeks. In the predella the Lord's Supper can be seen. The altar panel shows a carved crucifixion group with an ark in front of it , above which paintings of the Ascension and the Last Judgment can be seen. Side were Tabernacle attached, which in its niche evangelists were placed. The side cheeks show the birth , ascension, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ . The work is a donation from Thomas and Cuno von der Hagen.
The pulpit from 1610 stands on a column and can be reached by a small staircase. Jesus Christ, John the Baptist , Moses, David, the four prophets and the evangelist John are depicted in nine parapets . Above it is a sound cover . It is a donation from Arend, Friedrich and Thomas von der Hagen. The Fünte was created from sandstone in 1608 and is a foundation by Wiprecht von der Hagen. The Fifth has a hexagonal cup adorned with putti heads . A wooden epitaph hangs on the staircase in memory of Gebhard Christopher von Rauchhaupt who died in 1708.
On the north side there is a glazed patronage box on pillars, which is decorated with a plastic decoration and painted parapet panels. Below the western patron's box is a sandstone sarcophagus from around 1730 for family members of the von Hagen family.
The other church furnishings include two epitaphs which the BLDAM also called “high quality” . They remember Thomas Philipp von der Hagen, who died in 1756, and his wife Catharina Hedwig, who died in 1759, as well as FE Meyer the Younger from Berlin. The consoles are decorated with an inscription; above it oval portraits of the deceased with their coats of arms. The second epitaph reminds of Cuno Friedrich von der Hagen, who died in 1762. His sarcophagus is decorated with a painted family tree, two putti and trophies. A grave slab in front of the altar commemorates Thomas Philipp von der Hagen, who died in 1797.
The west gallery swings a little forward in its center, creating space for the organ with a prospect from around 1738. The original builder is not known. In 1906, the Alexander Schuke Potsdam Orgelbau company installed a new instrument in the existing case. It has ten registers , two manuals and a pedal . Their disposition was changed in 1963 by Hans Voit. The instrument was restored in 1986 by the Mitteldeutsche Orgelbau A. Voigt .
The interior is spanned by a stucco ceiling with a haunch .
