Lessen village church
The Protestant village church in Ließen is a hall church from the early 18th century in Ließen , a district of the town of Baruth / Mark in the Teltow-Fläming district in the state of Brandenburg . The church belongs to the parish of Zossen Fläming the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .
location
The Ließener Dorfstraße leads from the northwest in an easterly direction through the village. It spans the historic village green in the eastern part of the district . There the church stands on a terrain that slopes slightly to the south. The building is not fenced in .
history
The exact construction date of the church is not known. The Dehio manual speaks of an establishment in the "early 18th century". It is known that the von Rochow zu Stülpe family took over the village in 1648. It is possible that at that time there was already a previous building that was destroyed in the Thirty Years War .
Building description
The entire structure is plastered , so that no statement can be made about the building material used or any construction seams without further investigations. The choir is strongly drawn in and has a five-eighth ending . At the end of the choir is a small, pressed-segment arched window.
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On the north side there are two high, arched windows, the reveal of which protrudes from the facade. The fighters and the keystone are also emphasized. In the center is a pressed, segment-arched gate, which is framed by two pilaster strips with a central projection. On the south side there are three windows of the same type, which take up the shape of the north side. The corners of the nave are also emphasized by profiled pilaster strips.
The west tower has a square floor plan and is strongly drawn in opposite the ship. It can be entered from the west through a comparatively small, rectangular gate. Above it is a triangular gable with an ox eye in the acroterion . There are two rectangular panels on the north and south sides . A cornice separates the tower floor from the substructure. There is a profiled, segmented arcade of sound on each of the three accessible sides . On the east side is a narrow, rectangular opening. Above is a curly, octagonal tower dome , which, according to a church guide, is described as "unusual for the region". Above it is a tower ball and weather vane .
Furnishing
The wooden altar is comparatively simple and, like the crucifix on it and a fifth with a cupah, dates from the time the church was built. On the north wall of the nave is the pulpit , which is also made of wood . Its sides as well as the staircase are decorated with cassettes. On the eastern wall of the choir is a quote from Peter's 1st letter : “God / word remains / in eternity” (Petr 1.25). On the southern wall of the choir, a wooden epitaph commemorates those who died in the Franco-Prussian War . A painting showing Martin Luther hangs above the north gate . The west gallery was also made of wood and rests on Tuscan columns . It is decorated with wooden parapet panels. In the center is the coat of arms of the von Rochow founders, which is accompanied by two putti arranged on the side . There is a harmonium on the gallery . A baptismal angel from the beginning of the 18th century hangs from the wooden hollow vault in front of the altar.
To the northwest of the church there is a memorial that commemorates those who died in the world wars.
