Lütte village church
The Protestant village church Lütte is a classicistic hall church from 1842 in Lütte , a district of the city of Bad Belzig in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in the state of Brandenburg . The church belongs to the church circle center Mark Brandenburg of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz . The new building was based on a design for a normal Schinkel church .
location
The federal highway 102 leads in a north-south direction through the place. Chausseestrasse branches off to the east in the historic town center . The church stands north of this street on a property with a church cemetery , which is enclosed with reddish bricks .
history
In 1833 there was a fire in the village, which also destroyed the church. For the new building, the parish used a standardized design that Karl Friedrich Schinkel had created in order to enable even financially weak parishes in Prussia to build a church. The church was built in 1842.
Building description
The building was essentially made of brick on a plastered and surrounding base. The choir is straight and has not moved in. On the east wall is a simple, rectangular gate. The gable is optically separated from the rest of the wall by a cornice and has a central arched window.
The nave is comparatively simple. There are four large arched windows on each of the long walls, which extend over almost the entire height of the facade. They are decorated with a frieze above . The ship has a simple gable roof .
The square west tower could originally be entered from the west through a large and also arched portal. However, the entrance is walled up; only an arched window and the stepped reveal are reminiscent of the first entrance. It is now on the north side of the tower. To the south is a small, rectangular extension that can be entered from the west via a double-leaf door. To the south are two small arched windows. Above is a cornice with one storey , which is equipped with a clock tower on the three accessible sides. Above a further cornice are three domed and arched sound arcades on each side . The tower ends with a pyramid roof with a tower cross.
Furnishing
The wooden church furnishings come from the construction period and are described in the Dehio manual as "simple"; the pulpit altar as "steep". An early modern oil painting from the early 17th century hangs above the pulpit . It shows the representation of the birth of Christ and comes from the Berlin State Museums . The painting came to Lütte in the 19th century. On the horseshoe gallery there is an organ that was also built by Carl Ludwig Gesell .
