history
Sauen was first mentioned in a document in 1418. The inhabitants probably built a sacred building out of field stones in the 15th century , which was largely destroyed when lightning struck on August 14, 1895. The church began with the reconstruction and extension of a re- consecration was completed on 12 April 1897th In the years 1994 to 1997 a renovation took place.
Building description
The medieval core was built from field stones , most of which were not hewn and not layered. Only individual corner stones were partially processed. Repair work and the work from the renovation were mainly carried out by the craftsmen with reddish brick . The choir is strongly drawn in and has a five-eighth ending . It rests on a narrow base made of field stones, which is separated from the rest of the building by a single band of brick. At the end of the choir and on the adjacent sides there is a raised, arched window, the reveal of which is made of reddish brick. Above that, at the transition to the eaves, is a toothed frieze also made of brick . To the north there is an extension on the eastern wall of the nave , which was built entirely from reddish brick. On the northern side is a plastered , ogival panel .
The core of the nave consists of a rectangular floor plan, which was probably extended to the west at a later date. This is indicated by the hewn and partly layered field stones in the central part of the north wall, the lines of which run strongly to the west. In this area there are two lancet windows with soffits made of reddish brick. In the eastern area is an extension with a rectangular floor plan. The field stones there are much larger and not hewn; there is a lancet window on the north side. The staggered gable above was built from reddish brick and bears a cross in the middle of a circle. The different structure of the stones can also be found on the south side of the nave. In the middle area, comparatively large field stones are built, which were layered in the lower area. Above that is a large, pointed arched window with extensive masonry repair work in the western area. To the west of this is another window in an area where the stones were built much more unevenly. The remains of a much smaller opening can be seen on the left above the large window. To the east there is an annex, which is also rectangular in plan, with a large gate, a lancet window above and a stepped gable made of brick. On the west side is a pressed-segment arch-shaped, clearly smaller window; above it a pointed arch-shaped window, which is covered with brick. The western wall of the nave is made of field stones and is largely closed. Only in the southern gable is a small, ogival window. Access is via a small, rectangular porch with a portal and a staggered gable made of brick.
The church tower rises roughly above the middle of the nave and could therefore correspond to the original design, while the western extension could have been created later. It is brightly plastered around the lower area. On the north and south sides there is an ogival arcade of sound . A recessed, square tower floor rises above it and is clad with black slate. There are two more pointed arched sound arcades on each side. This is followed by the eight-fold kinked tower helmet with tower ball and weather vane .
Furnishing
The altar , the pulpit and the fifth were installed in the church in 1966. On the west gallery is a Sauer organ from 1897. In the tower hang two bells that George Collier from Zehlendorf in 1896 created.
