Müggelheim village church

The Protestant village church Müggelheim in Berlin district Müggelheim is one of more than 50 under monument protection standing village churches in Berlin . It was built from 1803 to 1804 according to plans by the architect Thile (under the direction of the master builder Berger) and is part of the listed ensemble Alt-Müggelheim 1–22.

With its small dimensions, its simplicity and the character of the rural-village environment, it belongs to the modern village churches .

history

Memorial plaque for the 100th anniversary of Müggelheim

The church was consecrated on July 1, 1804 after two years of construction. In 1847 a commemorative plaque was put up for the Müggelheim founders to mark the 100th anniversary of Müggelheim.

The roof structure collapsed in 1908 and was renewed by 1910. In the course of this construction work, the church was given a roof turret , in which two bronze bells were hung in 1911. In 1938 it was placed under monument protection. In 1943 the church was damaged in World War II and was initially used as a furniture store. In 1950 she received lead-glazed windows from Paul Rotkait from Altglienicke . In 1962 it was converted into a heated winter church. In 1963 work began on installing an organ from the Schuke company from Potsdam , which was inaugurated at Easter 1964.

For the local jubilee in 1997, it received a second bell again, after only one bell had hung in the roof turret since the First World War . The village church is used today, among other things, for concerts.

On the night of January 22nd to 23rd, 2014, an arson attack was carried out on the building, which also damaged some of the lead-glazed windows.

Building

The building, built in the classicist style , is a central building typical of the Protestant-Reformed church building , with the pulpit as close as possible to the center of the church for the sermon (" solely through the writing ") and the chairs of the worshipers as close as possible to the church for better audibility Wants to move the pulpit. The pulpit altar is, contrary to the usual east orientation, on the south-western side of the church. It has a simple, square floor plan. The masonry is plastered and has three axes . The high rectangular windows follow the pattern of the 17th century transverse hall construction for Protestant and Reformed churches. There are galleries and two entrances. The church has a hipped roof . Inside the building is designed with a flat ceiling on four wooden columns.

Together with the Zehlendorf village church and the Buch village church , they are the only central buildings among the village churches in Berlin, although Zehlendorf and Buch had medieval predecessors.
