location
The federal road 246 leads north past the historic village green in a west-east direction . Of her branches Kirchstraße elliptical from the south. There the church stands in the middle on a slightly elevated plot of land with a church cemetery , which is enclosed with a wall made of uncut and not layered field stones .
history
The building was built in 1720. In the 1880s, the church received a total of 13 lead-glazed church windows as a foundation. The building shell was renovated from 2000 to 2002, the east and west galleries and the baptismal angel in 2007 and 2008 .
Building description
The building was essentially made of bricks , which were then plastered . The choir has not moved in and has a three-sided east end. The corners are provided with a white ashlar plaster , on the northeast and southeast side there is a pressed-segment arch-shaped window, the shape of which is emphasized again by a bezel .
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On the north side there are six, on the south side five, likewise pressed-segment-arch-shaped windows. On the south side between the third and fourth yoke is a column-framed portal, which was decorated with a central projection.
The main entrance is from the west. Here, too, the corners were provided with ashlar plaster and the portal also has a central projection. The gable above is optically separated from the rest of the building by a cornice . In the ship it goes over to a circumferential cove . Above extends the square west tower . Its corners are also emphasized by a square plaster, the likewise pressed-segment arch -shaped sound arcades on the north, south and west sides are accentuated with bezels. On the east side is a raised ox - eye . The tower ends with a pyramid roof on which a lantern with a tower ball , weather vane and cross sits.
Furnishing
The church furnishings come from the same period of construction. The wooden pulpit altar from the years 1722 to 1724 is connected to the gallery and the organ and takes up the entire east side. Below the polygonal pulpit is a square oil painting that shows the calling of the prophet Isaiah . In the middle parapet there is another picture showing the Salvator mundi . The sound cover of the pulpit is carried by two angel figures. Two seated putti are attached to the entablature , between them an oval cloud glory with the divine name JAHWE . On the west side is another gallery, which was reserved for the church patron . The central parapet shows the patron Abraham von Steinkeller, the rest are decorated with biblical sayings. Two heraldic panels from the 17th century hang at the entrance. The wooden fifth is hexagonal.
The building has a slightly curved wooden ceiling inside, which is painted with ornaments. A baptismal angel from the first half of the 18th century hangs there . Its color version was improperly painted over in the 1990s and the figure was restored in 2008. It probably comes from a sculpture workshop in Niederlausitz; the artist is not known. The Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) points out a special feature, as the baptismal angel holds the baptismal bowl with a wreath with just one hand. Comparable angels are rare in the region, for example in the village church Dollenchen . The text on the front of the tape reads: "Let the little children come to me and do not defend them". It is supplemented by “for such is the kingdom of God” on the back of the volume.
In the years 1883 to 1887, the then church patron Ferdinand Möhring donated a total of 13 leaded glass windows. The work presumably comes from the artist Paul Gerhard Heinersdorf; today (as of) 2020 six of them have been preserved. They show (starting from the north wall on the right) Paul, the evangelist John, the evangelist Matthew, the prophets Jeremiah and Daniel and the evangelist Mark. The inscription "The Lord bless and protect you" can be read above the south portal.
The organ comes from Wilhelm Sauer , who created the instrument in 1880. It has a manual and a pedal with eight registers . It was his company that carried out a restoration in 2005.
In the tower are two sandstone epitaphs from the 17th century. There are still three bells hanging there , which were cast in Bochum in 1922 .
