location

The Neue Dorfstraße , coming from the north, leads south towards the historic village center. There the street Neumühler Weg branches off to the east; to the south, the street Anger spans the village green. The church stands on this property, which is not fenced in .

history

The Evangelical Church Community of Herzfelde-Rehfelde states that Kienbaum was owned by the Zinna Monastery in 1452 . As a result, it is likely that the Cistercians also built a stone church in the village . It - or a possible successor building - was probably destroyed during the Hussite Wars and the Thirty Years War, as was the place. Around 1700 the parish built another building, which was rebuilt in the 18th century. In 1896 this previous building burned down and the parish advocated a new building. They were able to win over Empress Auguste Victoria , who supported numerous church buildings in Brandenburg or promoted their church furnishings , including, for example, the Dankeskirche in Halbe or the village church in Schenkenberg . With their support, craftsmen built a new building in 1908 and 1909. The church consecration took place on October 24, 1909. A renovation took place in 2009.

Building description

View from the west

The building was built mainly from brick and Rüdersdorfer limestone , which was then plastered in the upper area . The choir is straight and slightly indented in width across from the nave . In the center is a narrow arched window, the reveal of which was built from hewn stones. Another window of this type is installed on the north wall. A rectangular sacristy adjoins the choir to the south . There are two small, coupled windows on the east wall. Another small window is on the south wall in the western area. The extension can be entered from the west through a rectangular gate. It is optically integrated into the building through a towing roof .

The nave has a rectangular floor plan and is 17 m long and 8.50 m wide. On the north wall there are two arched windows arranged in pairs, which take up the shape of the openings in the choir. The south wall is constructed identically. The ship has a gable roof hewn to the east .

The church can be entered from the west via a large arched portal. On each side there are two small, upright rectangular windows. Above the portal are three small arched windows, of which the middle one is elevated. The church tower was built off-center to the northwest. On the west side there is a small rectangular window. A pentagonal tower is built to the north and serves as a staircase. It is built entirely from hewn stones. On the upper floor there is a tower clock on the west and south sides. Above it is a slated bell storey with two rectangular sound arcades on each side. This is followed by a bent pyramid roof , which ends with a tower ball and weather valve.

Furnishing

The pulpit altar was built from wood in the second quarter of the 18th century and could have come from the previous building. It consists of two pillars decorated with acanthus , on top of which is a baroque crucifix . The sound cover is decorated with a dove symbolizing the Holy Spirit .

Most of the rest of the church furnishings come from the construction period, including a wrought-iron chandelier. After 1945, the stonemason who lived in the village created a fifth . In the west of the ship there is a gallery , the parapets of which are decorated with allegories . The depiction of a bee, a beehive and a fish allude to the medieval industries of honey extraction and fishing. The depiction of the miter is reminiscent of the former belonging to the diocese of Lebus . In the gallery there is an organ by the brothers Oswald and Paul Dinse , which was originally built around 1880 for a church in Berlin . Two steel bells that were cast in 1929 hang in the tower. The ringing is completed by a bronze bell from 1807 from the previous building.

To the west of the building, a memorial commemorates those who died in the First World War . To the south of it, a stele commemorates the victims of war and tyranny.
