Lieberose country church
The Evangelical country church Lieberose is a neo-Gothic hall church in Lieberose , a town in the Dahme-Spreewald district in the state of Brandenburg . The church belongs to the parish of Oderland-Spree of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Oberlausitz .
location
The church stands in the north-western area of the central market square, which is spanned by the street Markt . To the east of the building is the Lieberose town church . The building stands on a plot of land that is not fenced . To the west there is a residential development.
history
The Dehio manual assumes that a sacred building for the Wendish population has stood on the building site since the Reformation . It remains to be seen whether the hall church was built in 1826 with the inclusion of this building or on its foundations. In contrast to the town church, the church was only slightly damaged during the Second World War . In the years 1948 to 1950 renovations were carried out, the windows in the choir were walled up. A thorough restoration took place from 1992 to 1997.
Building description
The building was essentially built from bricks , which were then plastered and painted in an ocher tone. The choir has not moved in and has a five-eighth closing . All openings were designed as pointed arch windows with profiled walls made of double round bars, which were then painted in a reddish tone. However, the three sides facing the end of the choir are walled up; at the end of the choir is a gated, pointed arched gate.
This is followed by the nave to the west . It has a rectangular plan. On its north side there is one pointed arched window towards the east and two towards the west. In between is an ogival window, which is complemented by a gate below. The south side is constructed identically.
The west wall is closed. At the transition to the simple roof is a circumferential haunch . Above rises in the west of the octagonal spire , he has on each side a little Abat-son , about a roof turret , equipped with tower ball closes and cross.
Furnishing
Most of the church furnishings were saved from the town church. Among them was an epitaph that commemorated Joachim von der Schulenburg , who died in 1594 . After its implementation in 1948, it serves as an altar and is rated in the Dehio manual as an “excellent work of Saxon sculpture”. The work is dated to the year 1597 and represents one of the main works of the brothers Michael and Jonas Grünberger, who attended the school of the sculptor family Lorentz in Freiberg. Some full figures of the Schulenburg family belonged to the epitaph, but they were stored. A sarcophagus serves as the cafeteria , behind which craftsmen erected a two-zone structure with a predella , an aedicula with columns arranged in pairs and a double altar extension . The Dehio manual continues to praise the "unusually" well-crafted details such as the putti heads attached there . In the predella, framed scenes from the Passion can be seen, above the Lord's Supper . The altarpiece depicts the crucifixion of Christ , above the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the ascension to heaven . The structure is complemented by two free figures, Moses and John the Baptist , including two reliefs with Luke and John . The ensemble includes two other reliefs showing the Descent from the Cross and the Entombment . They were probably attached above the main beam at an earlier point in time, but now hang on the side.
Presumably also from the Grünberger workshop comes a painted sandstone fifth , which was created in 1603 and renewed at the base in 1952. The bowl is decorated with partially damaged relief representations. The pulpit and the walls of the nave are decorated with other wooden reliefs and carved figures that previously belonged to the altar of the town church. Above the pulpit hangs the Spittel crucifix from around 1500, which was previously attached to the hospital.
The horseshoe gallery has two storeys and is extended in the north to the choir. A wooden plaque on the gallery commemorates those who died in the First World War . The inscription reads: “For the Fatherland / Liessen your life in the World War 1914–1918 / In faithful memory - the rural parish of Lieberose”, followed by a list of the fallen.
