The evangelical village church Münchehofe is a field stone church from the 13th century in Münchehofe , a district of the municipality Hoppegarten in the district of Märkisch-Oderland in Brandenburg . The community belongs to the Evangelical Church Community Münchehofe – Schöneiche of the Evangelical Church District Lichtenberg – Oberspree of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .
location
Münchehofe emerged as an anger village that extends north-south. The church is located in the southern part of this Angers, which is accessed from the west by Münchehofer Straße and to the east by Giebelweg . The area, which also includes a cemetery , slopes down to the south. The building was erected on this hill and enclosed with a field stone wall .
history
The sacred building was built from field stones in the second quarter of the 13th century . In the second half of the 19th century, the parish had the upper floors of the west tower renewed. At the beginning of the 20th century a restoration was carried out by a local private citizen.
Building description
The choir has moved in and was built from carefully hewn field stones, layered in layers. On the southern wall of the choir, the remains of two raised, segment-arch-shaped and raised windows can be seen, into which a single beehive-shaped window was incorporated at a later point in the center right. The reveal was not made with field stones, but with reddish bricks . On the left below the window is a wooden gate, which is closed with a wrought iron grille. The north choir wall also shows a baroque enlarged window. The re-drawn, semicircular apse adjoins this to the east . The three narrow windows show no changes and could therefore still come from the construction period. The apse has a half- conical roof , which is covered with a red beaver tail . The gable of the choir was also built from field stones, which, however, were only slightly carved and largely unevenly layered. Repair work with red brick can be seen in the northern area. A cross-shaped opening sits in the center of the gable.
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On the southern wall of the church, in the western area, there is a large window that extends over the facade, which is supplemented by a significantly smaller and raised window in the eastern area. They too were enlarged in the baroque style. Between the two openings is a narrow gate, which was blocked with fragments of rubble and field stones. A comparable gate is missing on the north wall of the nave. It has two windows of the same type as well as a pointed arch-shaped, clogged opening in between. It is therefore conceivable that the building in its original state had three Gothic windows.
The square and recessed church tower adjoins the nave to the west. The lower storey consists of layered and hewn field stones. On the north and south side there is an ogival opening, which is bordered with reddish brick. Access is via a mighty, triple-stepped and also pointed arched portal from the west side. The part of the structure above was built from reddish brick. The slim shape is reinforced by a centrally positioned panel that extends from the first floor to the height of the eaves . There is a circular tower clock , a narrow opening underneath and two coupled, ogival, small windows. The upper floor of the tower is separated from the rest of the building by a cornice with a white panel. There is a pointed arch- shaped sound arcade with a triple screen gable, which creates the transition to the slate-covered spire . The conclusion consists of a tower ball with a weather vane.
Furnishing
The pulpit altar dates from the beginning of the 18th century and is described as "high quality" in the Dehio manual . It takes the form of an aedicule : the comparatively simple pilasters are each adorned with a rotating column of Corinthian order , which is adorned with vine leaves and fruit. They carry a blasted segment arch, which in turn carries the sound cover with a pelican . The cheeks are decorated with acanthus . A striking detail, however, is a male head with angel wings, which is attached below the sound cover, which is decorated with flowers and depicts God . The richly decorated pulpit is decorated with images of Jesus Christ and the evangelists .
The chancel arch as well as the apse arch are pressed ogive. The church stalls come from the 18th century and are held in a turquoise tone. This can also be found on the west gallery , which is decorated with white cassettes. The inside of the structure is flat covered.
