Reformation Church (Magdeburg)
The Reformation Church is the Protestant church of Magdeburg 's Rothensee district, consecrated in 1910 .
The church building is in the old village center of Rothensee on the former cemetery in Turmstrasse, which is surrounded by a stone wall. It is the third church building after the Romanesque church from the 13th century burned down in the Thirty Years' War and the church, which was then rebuilt, had become dilapidated. According to plans by the Wolmirstedter Peitsch building council, construction work began on the new church, which was consecrated on October 30, 1910 as the “Reformation Church”. The approval for the naming had previously been given by the Prussian King and Kaiser Wilhelm II as head of the Evangelical Uniate Church in Prussia.
A brick building in the historical architectural style was created, consisting of a nave closed on three sides, to which a square tower with a pointed six-sided pyramid roof was added on the southeast side. The south side of the nave received two gables with gothic tracery . The nave is 25.70 meters long and 12.30 meters wide. Its ridge reaches a height of 16.50 meters, the top of the tower ends at 32.60 meters. The tower walls are each 5.60 meters long.
Inside, the nave is equipped with a wooden barrel vault and an L-shaped southwest gallery . The two colored windows in the chancel are among the special features of the furnishings. The neo-Gothic organ , built in 1910 by Ernst Röver from Hausneindorf , was only moved from the Immanuel Church in Magdeburg-Prester to the Reformation Church in the mid-1960s . According to the Handbook of German Art Monuments, the neo-Gothic tendril and branch paintings from the time the church was built are no longer available.
