Building description and history
The Lindena Church is a two-bay and three-aisled basilica church made of lawn iron and brick . The church was built in the early 13th century. It was a branch church of the Schönborn village church . In the east of the nave there is a recessed rectangular choir with a semicircular apse . Construction began around 1220 and was completed with a new building in 1243. A tower is in front of the western front of the nave.
There is documentary evidence that the church was owned by the Dobrilugk Monastery in 1253 and was probably used as a school for the Cistercians there . Various renovations were carried out on the church in the first half of the 15th century, including the brick upper floor of the church tower . The lower part of the tower is equipped with a Querstatteldach, such as the aisles of bog iron . The church underwent further renovations and extensions in the 18th century. For example, the vestibule to the south of the choir corner dates from this period.
Inside the church, a rib vault can be seen in the central nave, a cross vault in the two side aisles and in the choir and a cell vault in the tower. The apse is equipped with a semi-dome. A pointed triumphal arch forms the transition from the nave to the choir . The apse arch was also designed with a pointed arch.
In the course of time there have been various restoration work in and on the church. In 1809/1810 and 1821 there were repairs to the windows. The medieval stained glass was restored at the end of the 19th century. A restoration of the interior took place in 1907. In 1980 there was also work in the church, whereby the dates 1715 and 1755, which were originally above an upper cladding window in the nave, were removed, which probably indicated construction or renovation work in those years.
Since the fall of the Wall , the church has been renovated with the help of the German Foundation for Monument Protection . In this way, for example, funds could be raised for the necessary roof work.
The parish Lindena now belongs to the parish of the Evangelical Church Cistercian monastery Doberlug to the further present the parishes Eichholz , fish water , Friedersdorf , Gruhno , Lugau , Oppelhain and Rückersdorf belong.
Equipment (selection)
The interior of the church has galleries on three sides . A gallery on the north side of the nave was built on two floors. A single-storey extension of this gallery extends into the choir room. On the west side there is an organ gallery with a bulged parapet. The gallery in the south has been shortened. The galleries and the stalls of the church have a modern paintwork.
The apse is painted with tendrils and an apostle frieze. The painting dates from 1897, although it is assumed that it is based on original templates. The north window of the apse has early Gothic stained glass . Make inscriptions the founder Volmarus miles de Live Become represents one of Liebenwerda originating Ritter . It is dated to the time around 1230 or the middle of the 13th century. In Volume 30 of the New Lusatian Magazine , published in 1853, the painting is described as a depiction of a young knight with a green skirt and shoulder-length blonde hair. It is noteworthy that the knight is not shown kneeling or praying, as is so often the case, but holding a banner in an upright position with a proud look. The identity of the person has not yet been clearly clarified and has so far been purely speculative. This three-part window was provided with external protective glazing as early as 1896 and is considered to be quite well preserved.
Sacred furnishings
In the apse there is a carved winged altar from the 16th century on a block altar that was probably built during the construction period . Two of the four wings are movable. The other two are fixed. The figures in the central shrine show Mary with the child flanked by John the Baptist and the Apostle John . Saints Catherine and Barbara can be seen in the two movable wings . A total of twenty-nine figures of saints can be found in the Lindena Altarpiece.
The late Romanesque sandstone baptismal font dates from the time the church was built. The pulpit with baroque paintings dates from the first quarter of the 17th century. It is located at the transition from the nave to the choir. A triumphal cross from the 16th century has been preserved as a further sacred piece of equipment . There is also a medieval dugout chest from the time it was built in the church, which is used to hold vestments and liturgical implements.

Inside the church is an organ created in 1878 by Wilhelm Sauer (1831-1916) (Opus 272). It was restored in 1997 with the help of the community and donations and is now used for organ concerts in the summer months.
