Oderin village church
The Protestant village church Oderin is a neo-Gothic sacred building in Oderin , a district of the municipality Halbe in the district of Dahme-Spreewald in Brandenburg .
history
According to information from the Schenkenländchen office, there was a previous building in the 17th century, which was destroyed in 1666 - after the Thirty Years' War . The experts in the Dehio manual only state that a sacred building was built in 1894 according to plans by master mason Degner .
architecture
The building was essentially made of yellowish brick with a neo-Gothic design language. The long sides of the nave are divided into four sections, in each of which two pointed arch-shaped, smaller and coupled windows were installed in the lower area . Above that, there is also an ogival, significantly larger window, which again takes up the neo-Gothic shape inside. Both openings are optically connected to each other by a bottle made of orange bricks . This strict structure is reinforced by four, two-stepped buttresses on each side. On the southern side of the nave, in the middle, instead of the windows, there is a portal protruding to the front with an elaborately crafted wooden door and a gable decorated with a frieze . Degner reached the transition to the polygonal apse on the north side with an arched two-storey tower with a mansion's lodge, while the apse is again strictly geometrically structured with a five-eighth end . In the lower area there is only one window each on the east side of the two extensions, while in the apse they were only created in a much simpler design in the upper area. The eastern gable is also made of light yellow brickwork and a frieze. It ends with a small tower top with a cross. The west tower is structured by the orange pilaster strips at its corners. At the level of the eaves and the roof ridge, narrow ogival openings are incorporated. An arched frieze that opens downwards creates the transition to the tower floor, which is equipped with a tower clock and the sound arcades above . The transverse sides are decorated with a cross made of yellowish and orange bricks. This is followed by the tower helmet with tower ball and weather vane . The roofs are covered with black tiles.
Furnishing
The church furnishings are described as "simple" in a church leader of the church district. It comes from the time the church was built.
Say of the ghost at the church
According to tradition, a teenager tried to scare some girls on the way home. He pulled on a sheet and stood at the gate of the church. When the tower clock struck midnight, he heard a creaking creature coming down the tower stairs. Frightened, he ran home, lay down in bed and was found dead there the next morning.
