history
The building dates from the first half of the 13th century. Little has been known about the further history of the sacred building . The building underwent a major renovation in the second half of the 19th century. At this time the west tower and the gallery were built. The windows have also been enlarged. At the beginning of the 20th century an extension was added on the north side of the choir.
Building description
The hall church was built from field stones and equipped with a retracted choir and an apse . It is therefore considered a complete system . The field stones of the apse were carved comparatively carefully and layered in layers. On the north-east and south-east side there is an arched window, on the reveal of which repair work made of light-colored plaster can be seen. To the east, a massive, double-stepped buttress made of mixed masonry stabilizes the structure. The apse has a semicircular roof. This is followed by the slightly drawn-in choir. The east wall is closed and the gable is made of small, uncut field stones. This could indicate that it was boarded up or plastered earlier. The north side of the choir is dominated by a modern extension from the 20th century. The rectangular extension on a field stone base has access from the west and three elliptical windows on its north side. He wears a simple gable roof , which, however, to the north hipped is. On the south side of the choir there are two raised arched windows, the reveal of which was later framed with reddish brick. To the west is a priest's gate , which could still come from the construction period.
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On the north and south sides are three large arched windows, which were greatly enlarged in the second half of the 19th century. The nave and choir have a gable roof. The tower is made of fieldstone up to the eaves of the nave, above it of reddish brick . It can be entered from the west through a large brick portal. It has a gable top with a circular aperture . On the side of the transition from the ship to the tower are two small pinnacles . A cornice separates the upper, slimmer part, in which there is an arched sound arcade on all four sides . Above this opening the tower tapers to a point and houses a tower clock. The spire is bent six times and covered with black slate. It ends with a tower ball and a cross.
Furnishing
The church has modern equipment after a baroque altar was lost during renovation work and due to sponge infestation. An altar made of field stones was built in its place. Only the horseshoe gallery dates from the beginning of the 20th century. There are also several tombstones from the 17th and 18th centuries in the church. An epitaph commemorates Pastor Christian Koether, who died in 1740. His vita is stored on the cloth hanging. The flat wooden ceiling and the organ gallery are decorated with peasant paintings.
On the south side of the west tower and the south-west side of the nave are further epitaphs, including two with sleeping putti and an urn. To the north of the building, a memorial commemorates those who fell in the world wars.
