Parish Church for the Glory of God (Bernsbach)
The Evangelical Lutheran parish church for the glory of God in the Bernsbach district of the city of Lauter-Bernsbach is an early Baroque central church in the Saxon Ore Mountains .
history
Bernsbach belonged to the pastorate of the neighboring Beierfeld . The efforts of the residents to have their own church resulted in construction of the church beginning in 1679. Gabriel Schütz from Stollberg , Christian Meißner from Grünhain and Samuel Göthel from Bernsbach were responsible for the construction of the church . On the Sunday before Michaelmas 1681, the church was consecrated despite the previous plague year. After a renovation in 1881, the interior was painted in Art Nouveau style in 1910 . In 1962/63 the church was renovated inside, 1981 and 1986 outside.
architecture
With its floor plan, an elongated octagon, the church stands at the beginning of a series of Saxon baroque central buildings . On the steep, dormer-studded hip roof of the plastered quarry stone building with narrow arched windows is an octagonal, slate-clad roof turret with a hood . In the south-gabled extension there is a small entrance hall and gallery entrances from 1881. The sacristy is on the east side.
inner space
The flat wooden ceiling of the hall is divided into fields by decorative strips, and the girder is made with ship throats and tenons . The lower of the circumferential two-storey galleries and the organ gallery arched far forward with musician angels, which is supported by a fluted column, date from the time the church was built. The upper gallery was built in 1881. The painting on the parapet by Johann Georg Böttiger from Neudorf from 1681 was uncovered in 1962/63 and, partially supplemented, restored. It depicts 28 scenes from the life of Christ from the Annunciation to the Pentecost miracle .
The large wooden relief of the multi-figure pulpit altar by Andreas Petzoldt from Schneeberg from 1681 depicts the Last Supper and has angel wings on the sides. The five-sided pulpit is on a cornice supported by two foliage-wrapped columns and is flanked by two standing angel figures who hold the sound cover on which there is a free figure of the Risen One . The cornice and the parapet of the pulpit are decorated with five angels, the pulpit door with a full-length portrait of Martin Luther .
Foot and cuppa of the neo-Gothic baptism A. Heskys from Waldenburg are made of light sandstone made, the stand of red porphyry . The large baroque crucifix in the organ gallery was probably made when the church was being built.
The two slate grave slabs with plastic angel figures, crown and heavily weathered inscription fields date from the beginning of the 18th century.
