The Dorfkirche Trebus is the Protestant church of Trebus , a district of the city of Fürstenwalde / Spree in the Oder-Spree district in Brandenburg .

The basic structure of the single-nave rectangular building, which was destroyed and rebuilt several times, dates back to the late 13th century. The partially plastered stone church got its present appearance in the mid-1950s, when the building, which was burned out at the end of the war, was rebuilt. The hall building has an attached lattice tower and is a listed building. According to Dehio , it is a field stone building that was baroque in the 18th century .

Place and municipality

The village, first mentioned in 1285 under Trybuss (Trebuser See), is about five kilometers north of the city center of Fürstenwalde and was incorporated into the city in 1993. The place name, which comes from the Slavic settlement period, means either the place where clearing took place or the settlement of a man named Trebuch or Trebusch . The church belonging to the diocese of Lebus belonged to the Sedes Falkenhagen in the Middle Ages . In the 15th century, two talents had to be paid annually to the bishop as a cathedratum (clerical levy). Siegmund Wilhelm Wohlbrück recorded Trebus in the history of the former diocese of Lebus and the country of this name as a village with a parish church and a knight's seat.

Today, the parish of the St. Mary's Cathedral Parish Fürstenwalde / Spree in Kirchenkreis Oderbruch the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz (EKBO). The building is used sporadically, especially on public holidays, for church services. The church is on the Way of St. James from Fürstenwalde to Müncheberg .

Building history and architecture

The original building of the church is said to date from the late 13th century. In his chronicle of Fürstenwalde , Georg Friedrich Gottlob Goltz, owner of the senior pastor at Fürstenwalder Dom, described the church in 1837 as a solid, well-preserved building that was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648). According to Goltz, the church was later renovated and in particular put in good standing in 1742 by the Privy Councilor von Risselmann and in 1773 by the district administrator and church patroness von Selchow, in a reformed manner, simply and without any decorations. In 1837 Goltz could still see the walled-up entrance of an old Gothic door on the north wall. The art volume Die Kunstdenkmäler des Kreises Lebus from 1909 described the church as a simple rectangular structure, the enclosing walls of which, insofar as they were made of plastered brick material, should belong to the 18th century. Above the western front, it has a square roof turret made of timber .

At the end of the Second World War , the church served as a military depot and was set on fire by a German captain when the Wehrmacht withdrew . The church burned down completely. Only the weather vane from the 18th century remained. Rebuilt between 1953 and 1955, the re-inauguration took place on November 7, 1955. After the German reunification , extensive construction and renovation measures were carried out. After installing a bench heater, the chimney was removed and the roof was sealed at its most leaky point with an extensive repair of beams. The 1.80 meter deep foundations were exposed and insulated against moisture. In 1999 the roof was given a new covering and the framework of the tower and the external plaster, if still present, were repainted.

On September 11, 2011, the church tower and the roof were badly damaged in a storm and thunderstorm. As part of the damage was covered by the insurance, the first securing work and repairs could be carried out by July 2012. This revealed major damage to the framework, and a cost estimate and planning was commissioned to repair it. Until the final repairs, which began in October 2018, the Trebus bell could no longer be rung.

Interior

According to the parish homepage, the church with its simple white and the interior furnishings, which are left in natural wood, exudes a simple and calm atmosphere. Since the renovation work in the mid-1950s, modern bench heating has replaced the old stove heating. After the foundations had been isolated from moisture, the plaster was also renewed in the interior, which was then painted over. The furnishings include a wooden altar and a wooden pulpit . On the wall behind the altar is a simple cross, also made of wood. The church has two chalices of tin and a historic Bible.
