Niebede village church
The Protestant village church Niebede is a baroque hall church from the beginning of the 18th century in Niebede , a residential area in the district of Wachow of the city of Nauen in the Havelland district in the state of Brandenburg . The church belongs to the parish of Nauen Rathenow- the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .
location
The street Am Anger spans the historic village green . From here, the street An der Schule leads west and runs around an elliptical plot on which the church stands. The area is slightly raised and is not fenced in except for a brick portal .
history
From documents it is handed down that there was a church in Nybede as early as 1179 , which belonged to the cathedral monastery of Brandenburg . So far nothing is known about their fate. In 1275 there was another proof after the place was 30 hooves and the pastor was entitled to four tax-free parish hooves. So there must have already been (at least?) One church.
The current church was built at the beginning of the 18th century (on a previous building?). The weather vane shows the year 1754 and could be the date of a comprehensive renovation or a new building. Many of the church furnishings are of an older date. An extensive renovation took place in 1837. During the First World War , the parish had to hand over the bronze bells as part of a metal donation by the German people , and in 1923 it acquired new bells made of cast steel.
Building description
The structure was essentially built from bricks , which were then plastered . The choir is straight and has not moved in. Its corners are emphasized by pilaster strips attached to the side . In the middle is a simple, wicker-shaped gate. Above, on the north and south sides of the facade, there is an arched window.
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On the north and south sides of the nave there are three arched windows each. The building can be entered from the west through another, pressed segment arched gate. The rest of the west wall is windowless, only in the gable is a small, high rectangular window. The ship carries a simple gable roof , the eastward hipped is.
The church tower rises above it . On its west side it has two small, also pressed segment arch -shaped sound arcades . Above is a clock tower. The other three sides are boarded up. On the east side is another sound arcade and above it a tower clock. The church tower ends with a curly dome and a weather vane.
Furnishing
The baroque altar consists of a columnar structure with flat carved cheeks on the sides. They are decorated with acanthus , each of which includes a medallion. In between is the polygonal pulpit , which is kept in blue-brown tones. Above is a simple sound cover . The work was created in 1712 by the master Frentsche from Ketzin. He also created the wooden fifth . It is hexagonal and decorated with pilasters . This includes a baptismal bowl made of brass in 1701. The foundation shows a representation of the preaching of the Lord . On the horseshoe gallery in the west is an organ that Gottfried Wilhelm Baer created in 1865. In the tower hang two bells with the inscriptions: "God give peace to the German land / protection and prosperity for every class / glory to God".
