The building stands in the middle of a former cemetery on the village green . The Thyrower Dorfstraße runs past it to the north and south, which leads to the federal highway 101 in the southeast . A fence does not exist.

history

There is only incomplete data available on the building history, some of which contradict each other. Since the Angerdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1346, it seems likely that the building will be erected in the first half of the 13th century. Although the parish states in a flyer that it is said to have been a fortified church , there is no evidence of the corresponding structural equipment. It was a branch church of the parish church of St. Marien in Trebbin and was built as an apse hall. Probably in the second half of the 13th century, however , construction workers tore the apse down again and instead built a retracted choir with a priest's gate on its south side. Experts suspect that a fireplace was built in the nave and choir in the 14th century. This would suggest that the building was not used for church purposes at this time. In the 14th or 15th century, the church was given a tamped clay floor. Presumably in the 15th century, craftsmen enlarged the previously Romanesque windows for the first time . During the Thirty Years War the building burned down completely and was rebuilt by the parish until the second half of the 17th century . In doing so, they again enlarged the two eastern windows on the north and south sides of the ship. Two windows in the east side and the windows in the north and south sides of the choir were also changed and given a segmental arch. The carpenter Aswig Hahn from Trebbin built a pulpit altar in 1719 . In 1794 the building was given a west tower. Its structural analysis was obviously inadequate, as it had been demolished and rebuilt several times until 1883. This year the existence of an organ was also proven for the first time . In the 19th century, the community expanded the building with a baroque gallery. After water damage, the parish had to renovate the building between 1962 and 1964. The pulpit altar was replaced by an altar table with a stone reading pulpit. In the years 2005 to 2007, the community renovated the roof structure and the roof and replaced the reading pulpit with a model made of wood and metal. At the same time, a previously added choir gable window was opened again and a stained glass window was inserted.

Building description

South portal

The church with a rectangular floor plan was built in the Romanesque style from reading stones . They are carved and layered comparatively evenly in the lower area of ​​the church. This structure no longer exists in the upper part. The deviation from the east was around 20 degrees in 1999. A retracted, square choir with a side length of seven meters is attached to the 14 meter long and 9.55 meter wide nave . Its gable, like the east gable of the ship, also consists of comparatively small field stones, which, however, have been processed unevenly in the upper area and partially supplemented with broken bricks. The windows are predominantly designed in the shape of a basket arch. The north portal is partially blocked and round-arched. Its garment stones emerge clearly from the regularly layered lower layers, while the upper arch flows out in an irregular masonry. The large, once stepped south portal with a crown stone and a small protective roof above it was designed with a pointed arch and is not in line with the north portal. Experts suspect that the portal might have been broken in or changed at the time of the early Gothic renovation. To the west and above the south portal there are two slit-shaped windows. Two larger windows are grouped towards them in the eastern part of the ship. On the north and south sides of the choir there are two small round-arched windows that date from modern times. Two more clogged windows can be seen on the east side. They were probably bricked up during the renovation in the 1960s. Experts suspect that there was a third window between the two openings. The north side of the church is designed in a similar way except for the modified north portal.

The baroque west tower is provided with a half-timbered structure except for the brick wall and has a sound arcade on all four sides . Above this is a bent, six-sided spire , which closes with a ball and a cross. It is made of black slate, the gable roofs of the ship and the choir are covered with red beaver tail . The access is not in the middle, as is the case with other comparable structures, but on the south side of the tower.

Furnishing

Inside there is a pointed arch choir and a dark wooden flat ceiling. A sacrament niche is set in the choir . The parish has set up a winter church below the west gallery . The Dinse - organ dates back to 1908. In the tower there is a bell from the year 1831. It replaces an older model that in 1590 in Magdeburg was cast and recast on the basis of an unclean sound 1734th It had to be given as a metal donation by the German people during World War II and was lost.
