Mörz village church
The Protestant village church of Mörz is a late Romanesque hall church in the Mörz district of Planetal in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in Brandenburg . It belongs to the parish of Mörz in the parish of Mittelmark-Brandenburg of the Evangelical Church of Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .
History and architecture
The village church is a stately late Romanesque hall church made of roughly ashlar, only outside hewn field stone blocks with the occasional use of brick with a retracted choir and a narrower west transverse tower from the first half of the 13th century. The choir was renewed around 1700 and is closed on three sides; At the same time (and then around 1858/1859) the windows were changed to a basket arch and a neo-Romanesque west portal was installed. On the south side, the Romanesque priest gate and one of the high-mounted original windows have been preserved; the walled, arched field stone portals on the north and south sides are still recognizable. A restoration was carried out in 1957.
A wide, round-arched triumphal arch separates the choir from the nave, which is equipped with a wooden beam ceiling and a horseshoe gallery with a throat decoration from around 1700, which was changed in the west in 1821. A niche with a wooden door can be found on the north wall of the triumphal arch, underneath the irregular masonry suggests the demolition of a component, possibly an altar.
Furnishing
Two stained glass from 1894 depict the Annunciation to the Shepherds and the proclamation of the Gospel to the peoples. A wooden altarpiece shows a Last Supper painting from 1699, flanked by twisted columns and acanthus cheeks ; in the essay there is an oval image of the resurrection, crowned by the eye of God in a glory of rays.
The wooden pulpit on a twisted column dates from around 1700 and has a crown-like sound cover; on the polygonal basket are pictures of the Savior and the Evangelists between corner pillars. The sandstone baptism from the Gothic period is held in an octagonal cup shape. Two paintings from the end of the 17th century depict the Last Supper, presumably from an altar, and the crucifixion; Pastor Christian Weigel's († 1704) family kneeling under the cross was added later. A pastor's picture comes from the 18th century. The box stalls were created around 1700.
Several epitaphs and gravestones mostly date from the 18th century, including a wooden epitaph for Johann Christian Ulich († 1746), with a bust of the deceased in a cartouche and putti with vanitas symbols, as well as a well-designed sandstone tomb for Pastor Johann Theodor Wirsing († 1756) with a grieving female figure with a tablet in a Rocailles shell . One bell dates from the 13th century and is decorated with incised inscription and crosses by the foundry Frizgo. Two other bells date from the 13th century and the late Middle Ages. A tombstone from the end of the 18th century is attached to the outside of the church.
