Gutskirche Schmerwitz
The Gutskirche Schmerwitz is part of a listed property in Schmerwitz , a municipality part of the non-governmental municipality Wiesenburg / Mark in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in Brandenburg .
history
The Gutskirche is part of a building ensemble, the core of which was built in 1736 for Carl Friedrich Brand von Lindau . In the southern wing of the building there was a chapel since 1750 , which burned down in 1882. In 1898 the then owner had the sacred building erected east of the manor house. The Protestant church was restored between 1959 and 1961.
The building is no longer consecrated as a Protestant church and is no longer used for church services; in 2017 it was temporarily that of Scarabäus Hoher Fläming eV . (an addiction self-help facility) operated "Töpfercafé" housed.
Architecture and interior design
The church was in the style of neo-gothic red brick - masonry built. The building has a square floor plan. In the nave, two arched windows on each side let light into the building. The same window shape can be found in the adjoining trapezoidal choir . There are drawn-in extensions on both sides, each with an arched window. On the eastern gable of the extensions as well as on the choir, significant repair work on the masonry can be seen. The square west tower received an open substructure with round arched openings. Epitaphs are attached to the three sides above a cornice . They quote from the letter of Paul to the Romans , chapter 8, verse 31: "Deus pro nobis quis contra nos" ( If God is for us, who can be against us? ) And the year 1745. In addition there are two sound arcades followed from the spire, which consists of a square approach that merges into a pointed helmet . There is a ball and a weather vane on it. The tower roof is covered with slate, the gable roof of the nave, the choir and the extensions with reddish beaver tails .
Inside there is an altarpiece, which presumably comes from the burned down chapel. A wooden door each leads into the two extensions. At the eastern end in the southern part of the ship there is a tiled stove . Below the west gallery with a small organ, a white pelican tears open its own breast - in Christian iconography an allegorical symbol for the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ . The ceiling is flat and lightly plastered except for a black rectangle in the middle.
