The Plaußig Church (also St. Martin ) is a church building of the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Saxony in the Plaußig district of Leipzig . It stands in the center of the former street village next to the former manor . To the south, the wooded terrain slopes slightly towards the Parthe . The church is a listed building including the surrounding cemetery and the war memorial on it.

history

The first church in Plaussig was built in the 14th century at the latest, because the priest Nicol von Hogenest is mentioned in writing in 1393. The two preserved bells also date from this period. The initially Romanesque building was later redesigned in Gothic style. A Gothic portal has been preserved from this period. In 1629 the church tower had to be rebuilt because the old one threatened to collapse.

The church around 1840

In 1656 the Sieber family came into possession of the Plaussig manor. Johann Georg Sieber (1668–1742), who was also the master builder of the Leipzig council, had the manor house of the estate, the rectory and the church rebuilt from 1726 to 1728, whereby the church received its external Baroque shape, which is still preserved today.

In 1771/1772 the interior of the church was redesigned, and in 1772 it received the first organ, built by the Leipzig university organ builder Johann Gottlieb Mauer . The lord of the manor Georg Sieber donated the baptismal font in 1791. In 1881 the organ was replaced by an instrument by Eduard Offenhauer.

After the fall of the Wall (1989/90) the church was renovated.

architecture

The church is a plastered quarry stone building about twenty meters long and ten meters wide with arched windows . To the east it has a five-eighth end with buttresses , which does not serve as a choir , but contains the sacristy and part of the gallery that used to be the patron s box.

In the west, a slender octagonal tower with a baroque slate-covered hood and lantern rises from a square substructure . The tower is offset from the nave axis by about one meter to the south. The clock faces of the tower clock point to the northeast and northwest of the town.

There are small entrance extensions with mansard roofs on both the north and south sides . The interior of the church is flat-roofed and has a gallery running around it on all sides.
