Teutleben Church
The Protestant Church Teutleben is a Romanesque choir tower church in the Teutleben district of Buttstädt in the Sömmerda district in Thuringia . It belongs to the Teutleben parish in the Hardisleben parish of the Apolda-Buttstädt parish of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .
History and architecture
The church is well preserved in its Romanesque design with choir tower and apse , but is characterized by wall openings for doors and windows. The south portal and the narrow arched windows on the north side of the nave and on the apse of the apse date from the construction period . In the west there are two rows of windows that illuminate the space below and above the Romanesque west gallery. The gallery used to be through a portal on the north side and is now accessible through a modern staircase. The top floor of the tower shows ogival tracery and arched curtain windows , which were probably built in 1503 (according to a year on the southeast corner of the tower) in place of older windows. The steep gable roof , whose original cover still partially glazed, pointed beaver-tail tiles on the north side, presumably dates from this period .
Inside there are also Romanesque structures, such as the original triumphal arch and the apse arch with profiled fighters or those decorated with block friezes . In front of the west wall is the massive Romanesque gallery with two groin vaults , which are supported by two round arches on wall columns and a free column. Remains of a screed with model embossing, which was probably introduced in the second half of the 12th century, have been preserved on the gallery. The floor area is divided into fields in which there are small squares with animal motifs and circular ornaments. As far as is known, the gallery and the screed are unique within the Thuringian region. The stone gallery was incorporated into a three-sided, two-storey wooden gallery. A wooden pointed barrel vault has been inserted into the nave using the remains of beams from an older ceiling, and there is a flat ceiling in the choir.
Furnishing
A baroque pulpit altar with three round arched passages flanked by columns forms the main part of the furnishings. Carved figures of Peter and Paul are attached over the side passages . On polygonal pulpit basket paintings with crucifixion and the evangelists attached; Carved figures of the Holy Trinity and angels with the tools of the Passion are arranged above the richly carved sound cover . A round font is dated with the year 1586. Several baroque and rococo tombstones have been preserved. The organ is the work of an unknown organ builder from the 17th century, which was rebuilt by Karl Friedrich August Peternell around 1850, with 16 stops on two manuals and pedal .
