Neu Schadow village church
The Neu Schadow village church is a Protestant hall church in the village of Neu Schadow in Brandenburg, which is part of the Märkische Heide community . It belongs to the Evangelical Parish Krausnick-Neu Schadow in the parish of Niederlausitz .
location
The sacred building is located southwest of the village center on Schafbrückenweg , which runs in a south-westerly direction and ends after a few hundred meters in front of the Jänickens Graben , a drainage ditch.
history
The village was founded in 1747 by Frederick the Great , where he settled colonists. But it wasn't until over 100 years later that the structure was erected in 1856. In 1966 the parish carried out a restoration.
architecture
The church was built in the arched style of the Schinkel School . The structure rests on a base made of irregularly layered and uncut field stones . The north and south walls of the nave are comparatively massive: the craftsmen mainly used red bricks , which were supplemented by yellow bricks in several parallel layers. In the lower half of the wall, the builders dispensed with any window openings. This makes the structure appear significantly larger and longer. A surrounding cornice visually separates the lower area of the wall from the upper one. There are three arched windows symmetrically distributed over the facade. On the east side is a recessed, semicircular apse . It is also structured with the characteristic reddish-yellow pattern made of bricks. Instead of the arched windows, three circular windows are installed here. The eastern wall as well as the gable were also built from brick. On the southern side there is a chimney that extends over the roof ridge . There is a larger, round window in the gable. Access is via an arched portal on the west side of the building. Four steps lead to a double door. Above it are two arched openings as well as a circular opening in the gable. A tower does not exist; however, the builders raised the gable with a roof turret . There is a bell in it; he ends with a cross.
Furnishing
The decor is simple and dates from the time the church was built. The pulpit altar is in the apse, which is two steps opposite the nave. The pulpit basket, to which a staircase leads from the left and right, is polygonal and without a sound cover . In the northeast corner of the ship is a wooden parsonage with openwork windows. The hexagonal, wooden baptism also dates from the time the church was built. The interior of the church is covered by a flat beamed ceiling. There is a round arch towards the apse. A short horseshoe gallery is supported by pillars. The church has a small organ with a manual and a pedal .
From 1876 to 1879 the theologian and spiritual writer Otto Riemann worked as a preacher in the church.
