Rangsdorf village church
The Protestant village church Rangsdorf is a classical hall church from the end of the 19th century in Rangsdorf , a municipality in the district of Teltow-Fläming in the state of Brandenburg . The parish district Rangsdorf belongs to the parish of Zossen-Fläming of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .
location
The Seebadallee runs through the village, coming from the east and heading west to the Rangsdorfer See . It branches out around the historic village green and thus forms a plot of land on which the church stands. The area is fenced in with a wall made of field stones .
history
The history of the place goes back to the 12th century. The place was first mentioned in a document in 1375 in the land book of Charles IV . A stone church was probably built in these centuries , but it no longer exists. In the 19th century, the owners changed relatively often until Ferdinand Spiekermann bought the place in 1876. After his death, his son, Richard Spiekermann, took over the business. He was the head of the office of Groß Machnow and held the church patronage. The new building was built between 1888 and 1890 at his instigation. The church consecration took place on August 10, 1890. During the First World War , one of the two bronze bells was melted down . In 1986 the parish removed the wooden benches. The structure was extensively renovated in 2016 and 2017.
Building description
The building is made of bricks that have been plastered flat , including the choir , which is three-sided and drawn in. On its north-east and south-east side, it has a segment-arched window, the reveal of which was made with a plastered fascia and a striking keystone . The east wall is - compared to other churches in the region - comparatively unusual. It consists initially of a large segment arch, the tip of which takes up the height of the window. Inside, however, is a small rectangular wooden door painted greenish with a seamlessly connecting panel that fills the remaining floor.
The nave has a rectangular plan; the side walls to the choir and the church tower protrude above the structure and are decorated with pinnacles at the level of the eaves towards the choir . The long walls are simple and have three similar, segment-arched windows with a bezel and keystone. This is followed by the likewise simply designed gable roof .
The west tower is square and neatly structured. A plaque above the west portal reminds of Spiekermann. In the middle floor of the tower there is a sound arcade on each of the three accessible sides , which is embedded in a panel. The shape is emphasized again by pilaster strips . Behind it hangs a bell from the year 1590. This is followed by a surrounding frieze that leads to the upper tower floor. It consists of a bent helmet with a clock tower in the gable .
Furnishing
The pulpit altar comes as evidenced by his dating from the year 1717 and thus could have been in a previous building. It is made in white, red and blue tones. The polygonal pulpit is decorated with twisted, light-blue vine-leaf columns with putti attached to the upper end . The cassette fields are held in reddish color. The structure is decorated with acanthus and cartilage and thus forms the transition to the sound cover , which is crowned by a radiant sun.
At the transition of the building, which is flat on the inside, there is a circumferential cove .
To the east of the building there is a memorial stone on the village green, which commemorates those who died in the First World War . Richard Spiekermann donated it in 1921, the community of Rangsdorf renewed it and added it in 2010. The inscription on the front now reads: “To remember the / World War / 1914–1916 / To commemorate the victims / of war, violence / and arbitrariness ".
