building
The oldest part of the church is the early Gothic choir from brick on a fieldstone foundation , which was built in the second half of the 13th century. The straight closed choir corner pilaster strip and on the south side of a round arch frieze . The ogival south portal is richly structured and framed with partly brown-glazed shaped stones. On the three sides there are differently sized ogival, diagonally exposed groups of three windows . The east gable is subdivided by a large cross panel, at the bottom by three ogival long panels and a smaller panel on each side. The east gable is surrounded by a rising round arch frieze, a toothed frieze runs between the eaves. Serrations on the west ends of the choir walls indicate an originally planned extension of the building in the same style.
This did not take place until the 16th century, when the nave made of field stone was added with bricks mixed in. This has three long segment-arched windows and a basket-arched portal on the south side .
The square west tower dates from the 18th century. The lattice tower is covered with boards and has a curved hood .
Inside, the nave is connected to the chancel by a wide, pointed triumphal arch. The inside of the choir has an eight-part dome-shaped rib vault. The ribs, which are rectangular in cross-section, rest on right-angled corner templates with an Attic base and a bulbous fighter link.
Furnishing
The altarpiece from 1612 is a column structure with side pieces in two storeys in Renaissance form. The crowning gable is from the figures of the Madonna and Man of Sorrows carved around 1500 . The pulpit from the first quarter of the 17th century has rich relief decoration and a sound cover .
In the fields of the organ gallery there are oil paintings from around 1700. They depict scenes from the life of Jesus : the Annunciation , the birth of Christ , presentation in the temple , adoration of the kings , entry into Jerusalem , deposition from the cross , resurrection and ascension of Christ . The organ was built in 1829, the builder is unknown ( August Wilhelm Grüneberg , Carl August Buchholz or someone else). In 1914 Felix Grüneberg rebuilt the organ pneumatically. It has two manuals and a pedal . In 2012 Rainer Wolter restored the instrument.
