Pentecostal Church (Potsdam)
The Protestant Pentecostal Church in the Nauener Vorstadt district of Potsdam is located on Grosse Weinmeisterstraße. It developed from a Pentecostal chapel that was consecrated in 1894 . In addition to the church, the New Pentecost House , the parish parsonage and the widow's house (today the Evangelical Primary School Potsdam ) are housed on the Pentecost site.
history
The ensemble of buildings that exists today goes back to an initiative of court preacher Albert Heym , who set up a rescue facility for morally endangered and neglected young people in 1851 . The occasion for this initiative was a sermon that Johann Hinrich Wichern delivered in the same year in the Peace Church in Potsdam . The model of the rescue house was the Rauhe Haus in Hamburg . A former winegrower's house at the foot of the Pfingstberg was chosen as the original building for this facility . When the old Pentecostal House became too small, the Pentecostal Chapel Association was founded in 1891 , which was able to build the New Pentecost House with an attached chapel with donations and donations from the imperial family . The name of the building refers to the Pentecostal movement . The architect and site manager was the secret government and building councilor Ludwig von Tiedemann . During the construction work it turned out that this chapel with 250 seats would be too small for the increasing number of inhabitants in the Nauen suburb and so it was expanded to 400 seats. On October 15, 1894, the Pentecostal Chapel was inaugurated . This was a branch of the Friedenskirchgemeinde. A parsonage was built on the foundation site in 1896 and a widow's house with a community hall in 1899 .
In 1902, the Pentecostal church changed the name of their church to Pentecostal Church . On April 1, 1913, the community became independent.
After the death of Empress Auguste Viktoria in 1921, the church was named Kaiserin-Auguste-Viktoria-Gedächtnis-Kirche . It carried this name until 1946, but then got its name back to the Pentecostal Church.
Furnishing
Overview
Special furnishing elements are the altar windows from the Mayer'schen Hofkunstanstalt Munich and other glass paintings by Fritz Geiges .
Wood sculptor Gustav Kuntzsch created the pulpit , the lectern, the baptismal font , the altarpiece carved in oak, crowned by a mighty cross with the symbols of the Savior and the four evangelists, and the imperial box, which was designed according to medieval models, which Kuntzsch together with the Potsdam master carpenter Eduard Schultz donated to the community. The altarpiece was removed in the 1960s.
organ
The first organ in the Pentecostal Church was a gift from the court organ builder Wilhelm Sauer from Frankfurt an der Oder . Since a repair of this instrument - expanded or overhauled in 1895, 1898, 1933, 1955 and 1976 - was no longer possible, a new organ (first construction phase) by the company Alexander Schuke Potsdam Orgelbau was installed in 2011 . The second of three construction phases took place in 2015. The last construction phase was completed in September 2019, so that the new organ was inaugurated in September 2019 for the 125th anniversary of the parish fair.
