Papitz village church
The Papitz village church is the Protestant church of the Papitz village in Brandenburg , which belongs to the Kolkwitz community .
Architecture and history
The brick-built church was built in the mid-15th century in the late Gothic style . The first documentary mention of a church in Papitz can be found in the Meißen diocese register from 1346. On the east side there is a screen gable , below which is a group of three windows. The ship windows were rebuilt at the beginning of the 18th century. To the west of the nave, the church tower stands on a square floor plan. In the south side of the nave there is a portal in the late Gothic style. The portal on the west side is stepped and ogival. It is located in a rectangular template closed by a baroque segmented gable , although the original structure has been destroyed.
The design of the massive four-storey, 37-meter-high tower is very similar to the village church of Werben in the neighboring village . The tower ends at the top with a crenellated wreath. An octagonal tower spire made of stone rises above it. In the basement, the tower is structured by a diamond pattern. The upper floors are structured by even rows of panels. A rectangular stair tower is located on the south side of the tower.
A two-story, plastered extension built on the south side of the church in the 18th century is noticeable, in which the sacristy is housed in addition to the patron's box. From 1658 onwards, members of the Korn family served as pastors in the church for four generations until 1823. The picture of the first pastor in this series, Johannes Korn, was originally on the door to the pulpit, but is now on loan from the Korn family. In 1823 the rectory burned down and with it most of the earlier records. The church records have only been in existence since 1811, parishes from 1823.
Furnishing
There is a star vault in the hall of the tower . In the nave is on a haunch inserted a flat plastered ceiling from the 18th century. However, a painted beam ceiling from the time the church was built has been preserved. The walls of the nave are structured by different aperture niches. Most of the furnishings date from the last quarter of the 17th century. Such a wooden altarpiece that was restored around 1960. In the predella of the essay there is a depiction of the birth of Christ, above it is a painting depicting the Last Supper. The main field represents the crucifixion, whereby the crucifix is sculptured. Other paintings show the resurrection and ascension. The top is crowned by a trumpet angel.
The wooden pulpit was built in 1682. The polygonal pulpit rests on a twisted column . The pulpit is decorated with cartilage . The entrance to the pulpit is painted with pictures of the evangelists John and Luke. The baptism, restored in 1966, is designed in the shape of an octagonal chalice and is spanned by a canopy resting on three pillars . Also noteworthy is an offering box and a chest with late Gothic fittings. A double chair with a canopy dates from the end of the 17th century .
In the church is the inscription tombstone of Anna Sabina von Pannwitz, who died in 1658. A grave monument is also inserted next to the portal on the south side, outside the church. The limestone relief created for Siegfried von Löben , who died in 1698, shows the deceased in plate armor . Above it is a broken gable, a coat of arms and flaming vessels.
The big bell dates back to 1396 and measures 1.10 meters in diameter.
organ
The organ was built in 1828 and has largely been preserved. It is the work of Johann Christoph Schröther the Younger from Sonnewalde . While the work is still in the late Baroque tradition in terms of sound and construction, the five-axis organ front with 31 sounding pipes and three crowning urns already points to the period of classicism . A comprehensive renovation of the monument organ will be carried out in 2018/2019. The work has ten registers , which are distributed on a manual and pedal. The disposition is as follows:
