Borgsdorf Church
The church of the parish Borgsdorf-Pinnow in the Hohen Neuendorfer district Borgsdorf , Bahnhofstr. 32, is a church building of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia .
The church building was consecrated in 1953 and was one of the few new church buildings in the GDR . The building has been a listed building since 2008.
prehistory
The Protestant parish of Borgsdorf was spun off from the Birkenwerder district on June 1, 1948 and founded as an independent community. It was not until October 1950 that Hermann Himmel was appointed pastor . The construction of a church was a high priority for him, because the Christians of Borgsdorf first had to use the church in the somewhat distant district of Pinnow for the services .
Building history
The civil engineer Martin Bittkau from Borgsdorf made the first drafts for a church building in the early 1950s. The Berlin architect Otto Klees from Rosenthal adopted and revised these plans.
The foundation stone was laid on September 14, 1952 in the presence of General Superintendent Friedrich-Wilhelm Krummacher . In the cassette there is a short chronicle of Borgsdorf, parish notes, information about the prehistory of the church building and current daily newspapers.
The local company Johannes Schulz carried out the construction work and on August 30, 1953 the Protestant parish of Borgsdorf celebrated the inauguration of its new church building by Bishop Otto Dibelius .
Church building
The church building is a rectangular, in the north-south axis aligned hall building with a gabled roof completed. The roof of the nave was originally with dark gray bricks covered. In 2014 it was re-covered with red tiles. The part of the building under which the apse is located already had a red beaver tail crown covering and was left as it is.
For reasons of the building authorities, the interior is made without stucco work and is smoothly plastered . It is spanned by a self- supporting vault, there are no supporting pillars . Since no drawstrings were desired in the interior, the forces generated are directed to pillars that are visible from the outside. It also has gas-fired underfloor heating and has been completely thermally insulated since 2001.
