Rohrbeck village church (Niedergörsdorf)
The evangelical village church Rohrbeck is a late Gothic stone church in Rohrbeck , a district of the municipality Niedergörsdorf in the district of Teltow-Fläming in the state of Brandenburg . The church belongs to the parish of Zossen Fläming the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .
location
Landstrasse 811 runs through the town as a central connecting axis in an approximately north-south direction. From here the main road branches off to the east and the Rohrbeck road a few meters further south . Between these two streets, the church stands east of the country road within the southern row of farmsteads on a property with a church cemetery , which is enclosed with a brick wall .
history
There are different details about the construction time of the church. Already from the year 1325/1339 it is handed down that Rohrbeck was a parish church . The church leader of the church district therefore points out that the "origins" of the church were in the first half of the 14th century. The Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) rather assumes that the building was not built until the 15th century. This is also indicated by the construction of the rather irregular masonry. It is also unclear when the church tower was built. The year 1524 was shown earlier on the weather vane ; a now lost bell was cast in 1533. Both together give an indication that the tower was possibly built at the beginning of the 16th century. It is certain that the tower was given a baroque dome in 1729 . In 1864 the Jüterbog master bricklayer Ferdinand Dalichow presented a draft that provided for extensive renovation of the building. This was realized three years later. The two north portals were walled up by the Jüterbog master bricklayer Schäfer and the clapboard roofing was replaced by slate in the tower by the carpenter Schultze. The work was under the supervision of the building inspector J. Gerndt from Jüterbog. The windows were renewed and provided with tracery . New light came through additional windows below the gallery; the west portal was broken into. In the interior, the already horseshoe-shaped gallery in the west was extended to two storeys . Eleven years later, roofers also clad the previously visible compartment on the tower with slate. In 1934 the interior was repaired.
Building description
The building was essentially made of field stone , which was uncut and not layered. Only the corner stones were hewn. Reddish bricks were mostly used for repair and renovation work .
The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On each of the long walls there are three large arched windows, each of which is supplemented by a small, rectangular window below. The two north portals were walled up in 1867.
To the west is the rectangular church tower , which takes up the full width of the ship. It can be entered from the west through a large arched portal. The north, south and west side consists of field stone, the east side of faced timber-frame . Above the eaves of the ship, the tower tapers with lateral monopitch roofs. Above it is a small sound arcade on each side , above a curved tower dome , which ends with a tower ball and a weather vane with the year 1729.
Furnishing
The baroque pulpit altar dates from around 1720/1740 and could have come into the building in the course of the church renovation in 1738. The BLDAM speaks of a "high quality" wooden structure, which was placed from a round pulpit between Ionic columns. Above is a volute gable with a ray glory. The structure is flanked by two life-size angels attached to the side, holding the chalice and paten. The altar replaced an altarpiece with gilded images of saints and five figures in the shrine and ten figures in the wings. While working, the cafeteria went crazy; beneath it came a corpse wrapped in a green cloth. An expert suspects that it could be the village founder.
A late Gothic fifth from the beginning of the 16th century belongs to the other church furnishings . It is octagonal, has a fluted shaft and a cup-shaped cup . A 19th century oil painting depicts a Christmas scene. An epitaph in the vestibule commemorates Pastor Emanuel Am Ende, who died in 1693; another memorial plaque for Friedrich Haberland, who died in 1871.
In 1756 Johann Ephraim Hübner built an organ with ten stops and a manual in the double gallery . It was rebuilt in 1848 by Gottfried Wilhelm Baer , damaged in a lightning strike in 1867 and then repaired. The late classicist prospect has three arched openings and ends with a triangular gable. The instrument was restored in 1993 by the company Mitteldeutsche Orgelbau A. Voigt .
