history

The building was probably built around the middle of the 13th century, whereby the Brandenburg State Office for Monument Preservation and State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) indicates in its database that the building could possibly have been built earlier. It is a complete complex , most of the windows were enlarged in the 19th century " baroque ". The top floor of the tower was supplemented with bricks in 1886 .

Building description

The building was essentially made of field stones that were neither hewn nor layered. In the semicircular, recessed apse there are a total of three arched windows. The choir has also moved in and has a large window on the north and south sides. This is followed by the nave and the rectangular church tower . The upper storey is made of brick and ends with a transverse roof with a roof turret and a tower ball .

Furnishing

The wooden pulpit altar was created in the second half of the 17th century and is described by the BLDAM as "richly decorated". It has been redesigned and consists of a four-story structure. In the predella the Last Supper can be seen, to the side there are two further paintings with depictions of Moses and Amos , while the resurrection is depicted in the altar extract . The pulpit door is painted with a crucifixion group . The fifth, made of sandstone, dates from 1619. The eight-sided kuppa stands on a baluster foot and is decorated with putti , a family coat of arms and a name. The church leader of the church district of Zossen-Fläming points to a fact that is described as "curious": the coat of arms and the family name do not match. The Fifth must have been broken earlier and then repaired. The broken parts were put back together again, offset by 90 degrees.

On the north wall there is a gallery, the parapet of which was also made from balusters. The building has a flat roof inside. A memorial stone to the northeast of the building commemorates those who fell in the world wars.
