history

The exact date of construction of the sacred building is not known. While the city of Jüterbog indicates the 12th century, the Dehio manual puts the start of construction in the first half of the 13th century. It was destroyed in the Thirty Years War and rebuilt from 1659. In the 1660 / 1670s the established church of the west tower and introduced in 1672 and 1673, the altarpiece on. From the years 1702, 1703 as well as 1722 to 1724 extensive alterations and renovations have been handed down, in which the galleries were enlarged and the windows enlarged. In 1883 they enlarged the western gallery again to make space for an organ . During the Nazi era , the military area was expanded to include the Zinna forest . The village was integrated into the Jüterbog shooting range in 1937; the residents had to leave their homes. The church fell into disrepair and much of the original furnishings were lost. After the end of the Second World War , the area was redistributed and the place was rebuilt. Around 1963, the residents also restored the church. After the fall of the Wall, the parish renovated the building between 1997 and 1999. It has been used as a party hall since that time.

architecture

Blocked west portal

The structure was built from field stones , which were largely hewn and partly layered. However, due to the reconstruction and renovation work in the 17th century, numerous places can be identified in which split stones or reddish brick was used. On the north and south walls of the nave there are two high-set, small, segment-arched windows in the western part, which probably date from the time of construction after the Thirty Years War. Its reveal was built with hewn field stones. To the right below these windows there is a clogged, pressed segment-arch-shaped opening on each side as well as a gate, which is clogged with reddish brick and field stones on the north side. In the eastern area of ​​the nave, a large window dominates on each side, which extends almost the entire height, followed by a significantly smaller and higher window. The bevels of these four openings are emphasized by a wide and light plaster . In the recessed and rectangular chancel there is another gate, with a window above it, followed by a much larger opening, where considerable repair work with masonry bricks can be seen. The wall of the nave at the transition to the choir was built from field stones, the gable from split and split stones. The low and circular apse closes the building to the east. The field stones here are large, hewn and comparatively well layered; the middle one of the original three openings is blocked. The eastern wall of the choir was again built from layered field stones, while the gable consists of uncut stones and masonry. The roof areas are covered with red beaver tail . The western wall of the nave was built from solid field stones. The original gate is covered with field stones that are just as massive. This is followed by the gable wall, on which no openings can be seen. The narrow tower tower originally consisted of half-timbering. Its western side has been replaced by bricks and the remaining walls are clad with black slate. A sound arcade can be seen on the north and south sides. Above this, the top ends with a pyramid roof with a tower ball , weather vane and a star.

Furnishing

Epitaph in the choir

The equipment after the Thirty Years' War was lost in the Second World War. There are two wooden galleries to the west and south of the building, which has a flat roof inside. There are two epitaphs in the choir . One is reminiscent of Pastor Wolfgang Schmidt, who died in 1663 and campaigned for the reconstruction of the church; the other to Johann Friedrich Ulrich with his wife (died 1737).
