The church belongs to the parish of Zossen Fläming the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .

location

The federal road 102 leads south past the village center in a west-east direction. From here, the street Rosenthal branches off to the west and east, respectively to the north-east and north-west into the center of the village and there surrounds the village green . The church stands in the middle on a piece of land that is fenced in .

history

The Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) suspects that the building may have been erected in the late 12th century. The church leader of the Zossen-Fläming church district, however, specifies the first half of the 13th century as the construction period. The Förderkreis Alte Kirchen Berlin-Brandenburg also assumes this date. From dendrochronological research it is known that the roof of the nave dates from 1401. In the 19th century, brick extensions were added in the south . In 1993 the parish had the upper part of the tower renewed.

Building description

Walled up portal on the north side of the nave

The complete system was essentially made of field stone and lawn iron stone , which were uncut and not layered. The semicircular apse is strongly indented and has three windows, which, however, are not from the construction period. Your fountains are brightly plastered and cut out original (?) Windows that were blocked. Further repair work with rubble stones can be seen at the transition to the conical roof.

The choir has also moved in and has a rectangular floor plan. The east wall has no windows. On the north and south walls there is a raised, pressed-segment arched window. On the south side there is an annex made of reddish brick. It has a rectangular floor plan and can be entered from the south through an arched gate. Above this is a small, rectangular window in the gable .

The nave also has a rectangular floor plan. On the north wall of the nave there are initially two large, segment-arched windows in the upper area. They are complemented by another, smaller window towards the church tower. Below that are two more windows, of which the western one was inserted in a former portal that has now been closed. On the south side of the nave there are also two large windows and an accompanying, smaller window in the west. To the south is another extension, which also has a rectangular floor plan and can be entered from the south.

The transverse rectangular west tower takes up the full width of the ship. In the southern area of ​​the west wall there is a small gate, above it in the middle an ox eye . The floor above is made of brick, the east wall of mixed masonry. There are three sound arcades on the west side and two each on the north and south sides . Above it is a hipped roof with a tower ball , weather vane and cross.

Furnishing

View from the west

The altarpiece shows the Lord's Supper ; next to it are arranged in carved figures depicting Simon Peter and Paul of Tarsus . They come from an altarpiece that was set up in the village church of Rießen at an earlier time . The work is dated to 1627 and was restored around 1979. A fifth made of sandstone dates from 1607 and is decorated with fittings on the shaft and bowl . In the north-west corner, a small sacristy with a sacrament niche was probably built around 1500 . In the time before the Reformation there was a tetzel box there , which the church leaders "disrespectfully refer to as a 'Catholic hole'". The triumphal and apse arches are each provided with a warrior , the design of which is reminiscent of the Wildau village church . The interior of the ship is flat; the choir has a groin vault.

On the north wall there is an epitaph that commemorates Magdalena and Johann Klemm, who died in 1730. Another late Classicist epitaph is at the eastern end . A memorial stone to the east of the building commemorates the victims of the world wars.
