The church belongs to the parish of Zossen Fläming the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .

location

The street Liedekahle branches off in the historical center of the country road 71 running in west-east direction to the south. The church stands a few meters southwest of this intersection on a plot of land that is fenced in with a wall made of unhewn and non-layered field stones .

history

Liedekahle was first mentioned in a document in 1356. At this time, in the middle of the 14th century, the church was probably also built. It was supplemented in 1689 by a free-standing, boarded-up church tower after a previous building burned down in 1864. Around or after 1700, the church received a uniform church interior , which the Brandenburg State Office for Monument Preservation and State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) describes as "very atmospheric ". It goes back to a foundation of the families von Stutterheim and von Bredow , who directed the fortunes of the village in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Building description

The building was essentially made of fieldstones that were rarely hewn and not layered. The choir is straight. There is a group of three windows with a slightly raised central window, which is likely from the construction period.

The north wall of the nave is windowless. Annegret Gehrmann and Dirk Schumann, in their remarks at the Dorfkirchen plant in Niederlausitz: History, Architecture, Monument Preservation, assume that it was already clear during construction that a "wall-filling, scenic painting" was planned on this side of the nave. On the south wall in the eastern area there are two arched windows; in between a pointed arch-shaped priest's gate with a cladding of red bricks . To the west is a clogged, slightly larger community gate, and to the west of this is a large arched window. There are numerous bowls in the garment of the community gate. There are two small, rectangular windows on the west wall. The nave has a simple gable roof with a bat dormer in the south, and a simple, boarded church tower to the south of the building. It has two rectangular sound arcades on each side , above a bent pyramid roof , which ends with a tower ball and a cross.

Furnishing

The altarpiece comes from the Luckau painter Christian Zimmermann, who created numerous works in the region, for example in the Pitschen village church or the Schenkendorf village church . 1717 it was a two-storey shrine -Aufbau, which in its most classical sequence in the predella the Supper of Jesus , in the altarpiece , the Crucifixion and the altar extract the resurrection of Jesus Christ shows and the Assumption. The coats of arms of the von Stutterheim family are depicted in carved cheeks on the side.

Above the simple pulpit from 1865 is a richly decorated sound cover , which comes from the previous Baroque pulpit . It is crowned with a group of pelicans and the coat of arms of the families of those from Stutterheim and those from Montagu. The pastor's chair and other stalls date from the beginning of the 18th century. Other church furnishings include three carved figures, which presumably date from the first half of the 15th century. They show two female saints and a bishop and are rated as “high quality” in the Dehio manual . The meaning and origin of the figures hanging on the south wall has not yet been clarified, according to the church leader of the Zossen-Fläming church district. In addition to a north gallery, there is a west gallery around the building. On it stands an organ that Friedrich August Moschütz created in 1846 and replaced a previous instrument from 1787. In 1917, Alexander Schuke changed part of the disposition .

A special feature is a baptismal angel . The approximately 1.45 m high figure is dedicated to the Lübbenau artist Tobias Mathias Beyermann , who also created parts of the church furnishings in the Rietzneuendorf village church . The work from 1717 was restored in 1997. The wings were partially added. The original baptismal bowl is lost, but the rest of the figure is in its original condition. It consists of a somewhat massive looking body, which was put together from several linden woods. He is looking at a laurel wreath with yellow flowers that he is holding in his hands. The baptismal angel is attached with three short link chains; a counterweight in the attic causes the figure to float.

The beam ceiling is painted with tendrils. Two bells from 1689 hang in the tower.
