Immanuelkirche (Prester)

Immanuel Church

The Immanuelkirche is a former church in the Magdeburg district of Prester . It is located directly on the dike that protects the district from the Elbe . The dike is part of the Elberadweg .

history

Since Archbishop Adalgot von Veltheim donated the village of Prester to the Magdeburg Berge monastery in 1110 , there has probably been a church dedicated to John the Baptist at the site of the current church building. That church was destroyed and rebuilt over and over again. The current church was built in 1832. On October 27, 1844, an organ made by the Magdeburg organ builder Hamann was consecrated. In 1957 the Prester Church was renamed Immanuelkirche . There has been no church use since 1983, a carpentry shop began using the building in 1990, and the building was sold in 1997 and has been used as a restaurant ever since.

Building

The building material for the church comes from the Plötzky quarry, the Schweinitzer forest and the Grünewalder forest. The neo-Gothic building with a single-nave hall ends in the east with a narrower multi-sided chancel. A square tower was added to the west. The tower has an octagonal bell-shaped storey, on which a solidly bricked pointed helmet studded with crabs was attached.

The organ , built by the Jehmlich Orgelbau Dresden company , was moved to the Catholic Rosary Chapel in the Rothensee district in the 1970s .
