The Protestant village church Rottstock is a late Gothic hall church in the town of Brück in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in Brandenburg . It belongs to the Evangelical Church Community Brück in the church district Mittelmark-Brandenburg of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .
history
Little is known about the building history of the church. It is known that the choir was added at the end of the 17th century. At the same time, bricklayers enlarged the windows on the nave by changing the openings, which were previously Gothic in shape, to form a basket arch. Further conversions have been handed down from the 19th century. In 1905 the builders erected the steep spire . There are two bells there, one of which was dated to 1248, the second to the second half of the 13th century.
architecture
The church was built from field stones , as was the semicircular closed choir. The eastern gable of the nave is decorated with panels that date from the beginning of the 16th century. The west tower is a little narrower than the nave and has a transverse rectangular floor plan. The helmet is octagonal.
Furnishing
Inside there is a round-arched triumphal arch and a horseshoe-shaped gallery . The wooden altarpiece could be dated by experts to around 1740. In the main field it shows the crucifixion of Christ , in the pedestal the Lord's Supper . The cheeks are decorated with acanthus . A picture medallion shows Jesus in the hours before his capture in the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem, another scene shows the Ascension . The pulpit is comparatively simple and could have come from the same era. However, it was changed and supplemented at a later, as yet unknown point in time. It is decorated with images of Jesus Christ as well as the evangelists and Paul of Tarsus . The fifth is of late Romanesque origin, made of sandstone and decorated with a round arch frieze. A tombstone commemorates Pastor Paul Tischer, who died in 1748.
