history

In Hoppenrade there was (at least?) A previous building that was demolished at the end of the 19th century. The parish bought a lot of road from the Chausseeverwaltung and had a new building built there from May 1, 1895. The building was built within just six months according to plans by the architect Otto Techow . According to the Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) , he built an “asymmetrical, picturesquely grouped brick building”, the consecration of which took place on December 20, 1895.

Building description

View from the east

The building was essentially made of reddish brick on a narrow base made of uncut field stones . The nave has a rectangular floor plan. The north side of the nave is divided into three fields by four buttresses . In the lower area there is a narrow and high rectangular opening in the middle. Above each are two coupled arched windows. They are supplemented in the west by a small, lower-lying, high rectangular window. The south side of the nave was built symmetrically, except for the tower in the south-east, but the lower window in the western area is missing.

In the western part of the nave is a polygonal extension. It is strongly drawn in and can be entered from the west through a large arched portal. Above a canopy is a rectangular and brightly plastered panel , which was decorated in the upper area with a frieze that opens downwards . The other fields have been designed in the same way, a psalm is quoted in them. To the north it says: “Time to shout to the Lord all the world! Serve the Lord with friends / come before His face with rejoicing! "The psalm is continued in the northeast field:" Recognize that the / Lord is God ". In the western part it says “Go to His gates with thanks, to His courts / with praise; thank him, praise his name ”. It is continued in the south-western part with “whom the Lord / is kind” and concluded in the south part: “and His grace / and his true time / lasts forever / for and for” ( Ps 100  EU ). In this field, the aperture was broken through by a circular window. The nave has a simple gable roof , the western gable of which is decorated with pinnacles .

A rectangular porch connects to the southeast. Both the ship from the south and the tower from the west can be entered via a small open vestibule. This is followed by the semicircular apse to the north . It has a narrow window in the western area. Above it is a surrounding cornice and three large arched windows. The church tower rises in the western part of the porch . It has two coupled and arched windows on the south side of the lower floor . Above it is a rectangular, slit-shaped opening followed by a sundial . Above, on the accessible sides, there is another slot-shaped opening, followed by the bell storey. Two coupled, arched sound arcades and a tower clock above are built into a round arch panel. The gables are in turn decorated with pinnacles. The octagonal tower spire rises above it and ends with a cross.

Furnishing

The wooden altar stands on a wooden pedestal in the apse. In the predella the Lord's Supper can be seen; a work from the end of the 17th century. There is a crucifix on it. To the left of the apse arch is a polygonal pulpit on a short column; a sound cover is missing. Botanical motifs can be seen in the arched parapet areas at the entrance. To the right of the apse arch is a stove from the construction period. To the right of the pulpit is the stone fifth with an octagonal cupa. On the west gallery is an organ that Friedrich Hermann Lütkemüller created in 1885. It is not playable in 2020.

The building has a wooden barrel vault inside, which is decorated with botanical motifs. Three cast steel bells hang in the tower.
