Oehna village church

The Protestant village church Oehna in the municipality Niedergörsdorf in the district Oehna in the district Teltow-Fläming in Brandenburg is located in the northern part of the village and is a listed building. The church in Niedergörsdorf had been the mother church since 1216, today a parish district is taken care of. The Archbishop of Magdeburg had the right of patronage . The church was the place of activity of the clergyman and reformer Paulus von Rhoda from 1522 to 1523 . He had been expelled from Jüterbog and was sent to Stettin by Martin Luther in 1523 .

church

The current church was built in the second half of the 13th century or at the beginning of the 14th century. A church leader from the church district of Zossen-Fläming suspects that the building was built “probably in the middle of the 13th century”. Nothing is known of the previous building, which already existed in 1192. A timber-framed roof tower was built in 1672 . Over the years, further changes were made to the church, for example in 1795, 1832, 1844 and 1863/1864. In 1873 it was essentially given its current appearance.

The construction of the drawn-in west tower also falls in this year. The tower with a square floor plan was made of bricks. Four triangular gables and an eight-sided pointed helmet form the end of the tower. During a renovation from 1938 to 1939, heating was installed. At that time the medieval altar was demolished. A stool burial and remains of fire were found underneath. A Slavic sacrificial site was possibly located here, and fragments from the 12th century have also been discovered. The last renovation was carried out from 1997 to 1998.

Furnishing

The baroque altarpiece probably dates from 1698. On the sides of the pulpit there are two pillars and two cheeks in the form of auricles. The predella shows how clergymen distribute altar sacraments. Originally there was an altar sheet in place of the pulpit. The pair of altar candlesticks dates from 1739 and was made of pewter .

The organ from the second half of the 19th century was built by the company Heerwagen from Klosterhäseler . The organ prospectus was made in the neo-Gothic style. The tower clock was created in 1914 and comes from Weule from Bockenem .
