Kleinröhrsdorf village church
The evangelical village church Kleinröhrsdorf is an essentially late Gothic, Baroque-style hall church in the Kleinröhrsdorf district of Großröhrsdorf in the Bautzen district in Saxony . It belongs to the parish Großröhrsdorf in the parish of Bautzen-Kamenz of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony .
History and architecture
The church is a small rectangular hall church with a gable roof; the enclosing walls date from 1495, the wide arched windows , the low extension on the west side and the roof structure with the octagonal slated roof turret and hood as well as the furnishings from the 18th century, the small vestibule on the south side probably from a renovation in 1735/36. Restorations took place in the years 1888/89; in 1901 a decoration with rose motifs and Art Nouveau ornaments was carried out, in 1960 a restoration of the room setting of the late 18th century. When the roof turret was re-roofed in 1969, the color of the interior had to be partially renewed due to the ingress of rainwater. In 1990 the church windows, in 1994 the clock tower and in 1999 the slate covering of the roof turret were restored or renewed.
The interior has a flat ceiling and is structured by plastered mirrors and round fields; the room is surrounded by single-storey, marbled wood lofts ; the gallery fields were painted with biblical stories in the 17th century, which apart from the depiction of Pauli's conversion have not survived.
Furnishing
The main part of the furnishings is a strict, marbled pulpit altar made of wood with side passages from 1787. A round arch over fluted pilasters frames the polygonal pulpit, underneath a polychrome wooden relief of the mercy seat in loving detail from around 1500. The Romanesque sandstone baptism comes from the church of Wachau, Kamenz district and consists of a large round basin on a low polygonal base.
The two sandstone epitaphs in the vestibule of the church date from the 18th century and were built for pastor Johann Gottfried Kretzschmar († 1795) and his wife († 1785) as well as for the farmer Johann Gottlieb Kretzschmar († 1795).
The organ is a work by Bruno Kircheisen from 1901 with 12 stops on two manuals and a pedal , which was restored in 1980 by Johannes Schubert with a baroque change in disposition.
Of the bells, only one bell by Johann Gotthelf Große from 1857 with the strike tone b′-2.5 has survived after the bells were handed over for war purposes in 1940 . In 1986 the wooden belfry had to be replaced by a steel one.
