Jühnsdorf village church
The Protestant village church Jühnsdorf is a field stone church from the 14th century in Jühnsdorf , a district of the municipality Blankenfelde-Mahlow in the district of Teltow-Fläming in the state of Brandenburg . The church belongs to the parish of Zossen Fläming the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .
location
The village road is the central connecting axis, the North-South direction in through the district runs. It branches out on the historic village green and thus spans a slightly elevated plot of land on which the hall church stands. The area is fenced off to the east by a wall of field stones .
history
The parish states that the core of the sacred building was built in the 14th century. The Dehio manual, on the other hand, indicates that the construction “possibly” took place in this century. In the land book of Charles IV there are already four parish hooves in 1375 , so that at that time there must have been a pastor and thus also a church. What is certain is that the master builder Klehmet from Zossen commissioned the von dem Knesebeck family of lords in 1869 to carry out considerable renovations. Under his direction, both the west tower and the semicircular apse were made from yellowish brick . He had the walls of the nave increased and the windows enlarged in the shape of a round arch - in the style of the well-known architect Friedrich August Stülers . In 1898 the interior was redesigned and the church furnishings were probably bought again during this time . The interior has had an open roof structure since the mid-1990s. In 1999 the parish renovated the interior, and in 2002 the roof of the apse. In 2016 the church received three new bells . Two of them are from the deconsecrated church of St. Family from the Lower Saxony Rodewald . The third was re-poured in Innsbruck in July 2016 and hung in the belfry for Thanksgiving .
Building description
The semicircular apse is strongly indented and, including the base, is made of yellowish brick. On the north and south sides there is a small, segment-arch-shaped window, the reveal of which was made of the same stone. A continuous, simple frieze forms the transition to the hemispherical roof, which is covered with black slate.
The nave was built from field stones. These are not hewn or layered on the eastern wall. The gaps are filled with granite fragments. In the gable are two small, segment-arch-shaped, coupled windows. The two long walls are constructed symmetrically and also consist of uncut and unevenly layered field stones. On each side have been the baroque forming three large arched windows, the window surrounds are accented with bright trim. The simple gable roof is covered with a reddish beaver tail .
To the west is the church tower, which was also built from field stones on the lower floor and takes up the width of the nave. Above this, the tower tapers to a square upper floor. On the ground floor is a large, triple stepped portal made of brick. It is complemented by two windows on the sides, the reveal of which was built from the same material. In the middle above the portal is a circular window. It forms the transition to the upper storey, which is entirely made of brick. There are three narrow and rectangular windows on the west side and a tower clock on the north and south sides. The upper storey is artfully structured: a recessed, rectangular panel on each side of the tower accommodates the two sound arcades in a further arched panel . The upper field is emphasized by a triangular frieze, the lower end by inclined bricks. Above a cornice is the eight-fold kinked spire , which ends with a tower ball and cross.
Furnishing
The altar consists of a simple cafeteria with a modern crucifix . The choir room behind it is kept in a reddish color and is thus in stark contrast to the white nave.
The pulpit is on the south wall of the nave. It is also kept in light colors, and its cassettes have been decorated with images of the evangelists since the late 1920s . An Epitaph sandstone reminiscent of the late 1737 Loiuse Hake .
The western gallery is provided with a partition wall in the lower area and serves as a winter church . On top is an organ by Wilhelm Remler from 1869. It is currently no longer playable. A restoration of the instrument is planned; the parish asked for donations in an appeal in order to receive the necessary 200,000 € for the repair. Next to the organ, there are several epitaphs for family members of the von Knesebeck on the wall. Other church furnishings include a sacrament set, a baptismal stand and a fifth . The latter is a cast of the golden Christmas bread bowl from Halberstadt Cathedral . The money for this equipment comes from a foundation of Wilhelm Boldewin Ropert Leopold von dem Knesebeck, who died in the Battle of Königgrätz in 1866.
There are more tombs in the surrounding cemetery, including those of the von Knesebeck family and the hereditary burial of the Lademann family , including the local researcher Willi Lademann (1884–1976). Another plaque attached to the south-west corner of the church tower commemorates him. Lademann is then quoted as saying: "Ik hä di Lüde upt Mul jekääken / un tuejehoerk" (I looked people on the mouth / and listened).
