Ringenwalde village church
The Ringenwalde village church is a Gothic church building in Temmen-Ringenwalde , a municipality in the Uckermark district in Brandenburg (Germany). It belongs to the parish of Upper Havel country of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .
history
The church was built in the second half of the 13th century as a rectangular field stone building with an equally rectangular choir and a low tower covered with a gable roof and was consecrated in 1280 . A dendrochronological examination of individual pieces of wood showed that the roof structure of the choir was built around 1408/09. A threshold beam between the nave and the choir dates from the 1230s. In a fire in 1580, the church was destroyed down to the stone plinth, rebuilt by the builder Baltasar Gottschalk and consecrated again in 1590. The tower was built as a half-timbered structure at the time . During the Thirty Years War , the structure was destroyed again and rebuilt. In 1699 some church windows were renewed and colored round pictures with scenes from the Old Testament were used . In 1760 an organ by Johann Peter Migendt was installed , which was donated by the then patron Wilhelm Joachim von Ahlimb . It was also he who completely renewed the inventory of the church except for a few pieces for the 400th anniversary of the county's existence.
In 1890 and 1891 the wooden tower was torn down and replaced by a neo-Gothic , 37.5 meter high tower with a square floor plan. It has two pointed arcades of sound in each direction . The inauguration took place in November 1891. The four-step pointed arch portal and the tower clock from the Rochlitz company from Berlin also date from this period . In the 19th century a south porch and a crypt annex were added. In 1913 the organ was converted from a mechanical to a pneumatic action . The disposition was expanded by the Albert Kienscherf company from Eberswalde to two manuals and a pedal with 15 sounding stops.
In 1958 the patron's box was torn down and part of it was attached to the north wall of the church. There were also two epitaphs of sandstone with marble busts of Joachim Wichmann of Ahlimb and Karl Wilhelm von Ahlimb attached. The color redesign of the altar was completed in the following year. In 1977 the organ building company Fahlberg from Eberswalde built an electric fan into the organ. In 1992 the church roof was renovated. In the course of the renovation of the ship, an oven in the interior of the church was also replaced, most recently in 2003 by the oven setter Winfried Rathnow from Ringenwalde.
architecture
The simple field stone building has a gable roof and a transverse rectangular west tower, which is set off twice and also has a gable roof. The tower takes up the width of the nave and has sound openings made of brick, which are designed as pointed arches .
The east gable is decorated with a panel . A circular window is located above two pointed arched windows. This indicates that the building had a wooden barrel vault that used to exist. The names of the pastors and sextons from 1580 to 1890 are worked into a window.
Furnishing
The wooden baptism dates from 1758; the pulpit altar is a year older and probably comes from the painter and staffer Minder from Schwedt / Oder . It is still assumed that he was also involved in the organ's prospectus . In the east there are three windows from the time the church was built. The altarpiece dates from the 17th century. The altarpiece has four floors and shows the Lord's Supper in the predella , the crucifixion in the main field, the resurrection in the gable and the Last Judgment in the top . The top is decorated with shell niches in which the evangelists Mark and John can be seen. The approximately 18 cm high communion chalice dates from the 16th century and, along with a pewter candlestick from 1671, is considered the most valuable piece of equipment. In 1969 the second candlestick was stolen.
There are two bells in the tower : a bell from 1320 has a diameter of 107 cm and a smaller bell from 1618. It has a toothed frieze and bears the inscription o rex glorie veni cum pace (King of Glory, come with yours Peace). A third bell from 1731 was melted down during World War II .
organ
The organ is the only surviving specimen with an extensive original inventory from the organ builder Johann Peter Migendt . It originally had eight (possibly nine) stops on one manual . Albert Kienscherf added a second manual and an independent pedal in 1913 , so that the organ now had 15 stops. He also changed the case and built in a pneumatic action . In 2006 the organ was restored by Orgelbau Rühle and largely returned to its original condition from 1760. The Ringenwald restorer Gerhard Prückner restored the original version . About 80% of the Migendt pipes have been preserved. Compared to the situation in 1760, Rühle built in a pedal with three voices, which is based on the organ of the castle church in Stettin . After a successful restoration, the instrument has the following disposition with twelve registers:

With the help of a cable pull on the stop action of the trumpet, the organist can move two putti , which raise their arms when pulling the stop and start their trombones.
Saga world
According to legend, the devil was so angry about the construction of the church that he threw a large stone at the church in anger. He missed the church, but destroyed the tower of the church.
