history
The structure was probably built around 1300 from field stones . The parish assumes that craftsmen first built a rectangular hall with a retracted choir . Before 1343 and until 1415, the place came into the possession of the von Lossow , who also held the church patronage . At that time the church received a bell. In a document from 1405 it is handed down that the pastor was entitled to four Hufen land. At that time Jacobsdorf was 64 hooves and belonged to the Selivensem district . With effect from December 13th 1415 Otto von Lossow sold the place to the Carthusians . From now until the Reformation in 1539, the fortunes of the place were directed from the Carthusian monastery in Frankfurt (Oder) . In the course of this reform, the south portal of the church was probably walled up. Joachim II decreed that this church should also come into the possession of the University of Frankfurt . In 1580 the parish bought a second bell. Jacobsdorf became a parish church in 1600 . The building was only slightly damaged in the Thirty Years War . However, there was storm damage to the church roof in 1683, which was then repaired.
In 1685 the parish carried out extensive renovations. The windows were enlarged “ baroque ”, the side buttresses dismantled and the surrounding walls renewed. From the year 1691 further, unspecified renovation measures are known. The parish suspects that the eastern gable may have been redesigned. Around 1697 the community bought a tower clock for 60 thalers. In 1720 the Coßmar family donated a wooden baptismal angel , which was lost in 1865. In 1777 the parish had the building rebuilt. The choir was given a rectangular finish, the panels in the gable were removed. At the same time, craftsmen built a ship-wide west tower, which was reduced by one storey in 1845 .
From 1860 there was another massive change in the building fabric. The altar was torn down, the pulpit relocated and the windows enlarged again. The tower, which had already been dismantled, disappeared completely. In August 1866, the organ builder Wilhelm Sauer built an organ on the west gallery . A few years later, the building was again given a church tower, which was supplemented in 1874 with a tower ball and weather vane. In 1899 a new tower clock was installed there. In 1909, craftsmen built a heater. In the time of National Socialism , the church received two colored windows through foundations. In 1938 a farmer donated the window in honor of our remaining heroes 1914–1918 together with the National Socialist Women's Association . Donated in 1938 by the new Greater Germany , the window came a year later The Lord has done great things for us, we are happy . In 1942, the parish had to hand over three bells as part of a metal donation by the German people . In 1945 around 60% of the church was destroyed in fighting during World War II. This particularly affected the roof structure and the church tower. The work was carried out in 1949; In December of that year, the two larger bells could be brought back to Jacobsdorf from a bell cemetery. The building was rebuilt from 1950; In 1964 the parish replaced the organ with a new model from VEB Orgelbau Sauer. After the fall of the Wall , the building was renovated in 1991, which took place in Advent with a new church consecration in the presence of Superintendent Bruckhoff from Frankfurt (Oder). In 2008 craftsmen set up a wooden stele by the sculptor Steffen Böttger in front of the building. In 2009, planning began for the restoration of the masonry, the renovation of the tower structure and the renewal of the tower and the roofing. The work was completed in 2012.
