Niebendorf village church
The Protestant village church of Niebendorf is a late Romanesque field stone church of the formerly independent community of Niebendorf . This became in 1957 with Heinsdorf to the district Niebendorf-Heinsdorf of the city of Dahme / Mark in the district of Teltow-Fläming in the state of Brandenburg . The church belongs to the parish of Zossen Fläming the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz . The baroque ceiling painting was created by the same artist who also worked in the village church in Waltersdorf . The two churches are therefore regarded as "twin churches".
location
The road Niebendorf runs from the northwest to the southeast coming on the historic village green . There the church stands in the southern area on a property with a church cemetery , which is enclosed with a fence .
history
Niebendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1405, but it should have been settled many years earlier. The Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) assumes that the sacred building was built in the first half of the 13th century. At the end of the 17th / beginning of the 18th century and in the early 19th century, the building was renewed. According to the Dahme / Mark Office , one of the reasons could have been damage during the Thirty Years' War . The church patronage was the end of the 17./Anfang of the 18th century with the family in order of Johann Heinrich von Berger and later went to his youngest son Johann August von Berger over. The lavish furnishings go back to them. After the Seven Years' War , Niebendorf came to the bailiff August Sigismund Richter zu Dahme in 1769. A patronage coat of arms with his initials ASR and the year 1769 reminds of this transition.
In 2009, extensive renovation work began, which was initiated and supported by a development association. During the first clean-up work in the attic, the fragments of two baptismal angels came to light, one of which could be attributed to the neighboring village church of Heinsdorf . Just one year later, the baroque altar was refurbished for around 19,000 euros. In 2011, the painting on the ceiling was renovated for around 22,000 euros. After the baptismal angel was restored in 2011, experts restored the galleries in 2012 .
Building description
The building was essentially made of field stones that were relatively carefully carved and layered in layers. The semicircular apse is strongly indented and has a small, high rectangular window on the northeast and southeast side, some of which are plastered. The original, arched reveal is partially still visible. The remains of a clogged window can be seen in the center. The choir has also moved in and has a rectangular floor plan. There is an upright rectangular window on its north side, as well as on its south side. There - slightly offset to the west - the remains of a clogged priest's gate can be seen, which should date from the construction period.
The nave also has a rectangular floor plan and two tall rectangular windows on each side. On the north side, between the two openings, another, likewise clogged gate can be seen. It should also come from the construction time. At the southwest corner is a trapezoidal buttress . The church is accessed from the west via a small, pressed segment arched gate. The gable on the west side is plastered . There is a bell tower northeast of the building.
Furnishing
The baroque church furnishings are described in the Dehio manual as "uniform, atmospheric". It dates from the end of the 17th century and was extensively restored in 2010 and 2011. The altarpiece is richly decorated and consists of a Corinthian , column-like structure, which is decorated with acanthus cheeks . In the predella the Lord's Supper is depicted. On the side you can see Christ with Mary Magdalene and Christ on the Mount of Olives. The altar panel shows the crucifixion of Christ ; accompanied by further images of the flagellation of Christ and Ecce homo . The extract from the altar shows the resurrection as well as two angels holding a cross or a scourge column; Above it is a glory of rays with the words INRI . The essay probably comes from the workshop of Georg Wolschke, who also worked in Cahnsdorf or who created the baptismal angel in the village church of Göllnitz . There is also a painting by Joseph Gerlach from around 1750. The polygonal pulpit stands on a rotated column and is decorated with depictions of Jesus Christ and the evangelists . Above it is a sound cover with a dove symbolizing the Holy Spirit and a pelican symbolizing Jesus Christ. A special feature is a functional pulpit clock . It consists of four individual tubes, each showing a time span of 15 minutes.
The choir and nave carry a wooden shallow barrel from around 1769. The nave is painted with angels in front of a cloud base holding banners. One quote, for example, comes from the Gospel according to Luke : “Glory to God in the highest and peace on earth and a pleasure for men!” ( Lk 2.14 EU ), another quotes the Christmas message. In the choir they are arranged around a cloud glory. In between is a pressed, pointed arch triumphal arch . There is a gallery in the south and west. Below the west gallery is a patronage box - apparently for reasons of space and not, as is usual, opposite the pulpit. The fifth is dated to the year 1780. Other church furnishings include parish stalls with carved tendrils and a carved patronage coat of arms on the north wall from 1769.
A special feature is an approximately 90 cm baptismal angel, which is attributed to the workshop of Tobias Mathias Beyermann . It was bought in the first half of the 18th century and lay in the attic of the neighboring church in Heinsdorf for over 100 years. The christening angel was badly damaged, but could be restored.
Two bells hang in the free-standing bell tower. One dates from the Middle Ages and bears the inscription “AVE MARIA GRACIA PLENA” (Hail Mary, full of grace) and five images. The parish bought it in 1924 for 400 marks from the neighboring parish in Niebendorf, after the bell was probably lost in the course of a metal donation by the German people .
A plaque on the outer wall commemorates those who died in the First World War.
