Kuschkow village church
The village church Kuschkow is the Protestant church of the village Kuschkow belonging to the municipality Märkische Heide . It belongs to the Evangelical Hope Church Community of Groß Leuthen and the surrounding area in the Lower Lusatia parish of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .
architecture
The church was built around 1830 to 1840 in the typical arched style of the Schinkel School . There are suspicions that the well-known architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel even created the design for the church himself. The church hall, built on a rectangular floor plan, is plastered. On the north and south sides there are five large windows in pillar arcades. The main portal is in the middle arcade on the south side. The east gable is characterized by a segmented arched window. The three-storey church tower to the west of the nave is partially incorporated into the nave and is crowned by a steep tent roof with a cross. The west entrance to the church is at the foot of the tower.
Furnishing
The interior of the nave has a flat roof. There is a horseshoe gallery supported by columns . On the east side of the nave there is a pulpit altar in the form of a gable with side arbors. The altar is three steps above the floor level of the nave. A wooden baptismal stand on three brace feet also comes from the construction time of the church.
organ
The organ of the village church was built in 1990 by the Central German organ builder A. Voigt (Bad Liebenwerda) using an instrument by Johann Christoph Schröther (Sonnewalde). The purely mechanical slider-drawer instrument has 6 manual registers (principal 8 ′, Gedackt 8 ′, octave 4 ′, reed flute 4 ′, octave 2 ′, Mixtur III, each C – d 3 ) and 2 pedal stops (sub-bass 16 ′, bass flute 4 ′ , each C – d 1 ) and a pedal coupler .
