history

The Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum (BLDAM) states that the core of the building will be in the 14./15. Century. The church leader of the church district assumes massive damage in the Thirty Years War and points out that the church was built around 1670/1680 on the foundations of the previous building. After 1680 the building received plastering and high rectangular windows. A patronage box was probably also built on the north side at this time . In the early 1980s, the parish exchanged the church furnishings .

Building description

View from the northwest

The building was essentially made of field stones and bricks , which were built as mixed masonry and then plastered . The choir is straight and has not moved in. On the east wall there are two large, high rectangular windows, the shape of which is emphasized again by a plastered fascia .

The nave has a rectangular floor plan. On the north side is a patronage box, which also has a rectangular floor plan. It can be entered from the west through a gate; on the north side is a window. To the west is another window on the long wall of the ship; on the south side two. In the center the remains of a clogged priest gate can be seen. The patronage box and the ship have a simple gable roof .

The transverse rectangular church tower is slightly drawn in opposite the nave. It can be entered from the west through a rectangular gate. There are no other openings. On the bell floor there are two coupled sound arcades on the north and south sides, and two individual sound arcades on the east and west side . Above it rises an eight-fold pointed helmet, which ends with a tower ball and cross.

Furnishing

The church furnishings are described by the BLDAM as "simple". A script cartouche dated to the year 1708 serves as the altarpiece and is in a richly carved ornamental frame. The pulpit and the stalls date from around 1680, the fifth from 1733. On the west gallery is an organ, made by Alexander Schuke Potsdam Orgelbau in 1953. The instrument has a manual , six stops and a pedal . The instrument was moved from the gallery to the nave in the 1980s. The patronage box is separated from the ship by a glass front and serves as a mourning hall in the 21st century. The inside of the structure is flat covered with a cove at the transition to the roof.

In front of the southern nave, a memorial commemorates those who died in the world wars. In the cemetery, a classical tombstone commemorates Maria Dorothea Scharsig, who died in 1832. There is also the hereditary burial of the Pittelko family consisting of ten cast-iron grave tablets from the period 1849 to 1923.
