It belongs to the Evangelical Church District Zossen-Fläming of the Evangelical Church Berlin-Brandenburg-Silesian Upper Lusatia (EKBO).

location

The building is located outside the historic city center on Bundesstraße 246 , which, coming from the south from the center, runs at an intersection to the east. In the extension of the B 246, Berliner Straße leads north. To the northwest of this intersection, the chapel stands in the middle of a cemetery, which is enclosed with a field stone wall .

history

Annenhospital in Trebbin, which no longer existed in the 21st century, was first mentioned in the course of a visitation in 1575. Since the church at that time regularly built a chapel in addition to a hospital, it can be interpreted as a hospital chapel. The naming after Saint Anne , the patron saint of the sick, speaks for this function . The architectural style in turn indicates the time of origin in the late Gothic . According to the Handbook of German Art Monuments, Volume Brandenburg from 2000, it was created at the beginning of the 16th century. In the art monuments of the Teltow district from 1941 it is dated to the end of the 15th century / beginning of the 16th century. A flyer from the parish gives the 14/15 Century on. After being unused for many decades, criminals used it as a refuge . During the First World War , the chapel was repaired from 1914 under the direction of the Berlin architect Bleue , which continued until 1922. He also designed the votive windows . During the renovation work, he opened a previously bricked up window and had the gallery removed, which was built in earlier. The floor was also renewed. It was broken after some of the crypts below collapsed. Since then it has been used as a cemetery chapel. The painting was done by the church painter Sandforth from Berlin-Charlottenburg . In 2000 archaeologists examined the structure. Under the direction of Stefan Pratsch , three pits for burials, several shards and coins from 1794 were discovered. Subsequently, the building was redesigned and has been used as a winter church and burial chapel since then .

Building description

West portal

The building has a rectangular floor plan with an irregular choir closed on three sides . It was built from field stones . The corners of the building, the gables and the window openings were made of red bricks . On the north wall of the choir is a large, ogival window, while on the south wall of the choir, next to a similar window in the northern area, there was a smaller round arched window, which was, however, blocked and plastered. The north wall of the nave is windowless. On the south side there are two large, ogival windows. In the center is an ogival panel into which an arched door is let. Another entrance is from the west side. Here is an arched portal, above it an arched window. The chapel has a simple gable roof with a tower ball on the northern side.

Inside there is a flat beamed ceiling that rests on consoles .

Furnishing

A wooden, life-size crucifix from 1525, a figure of Catherine of Alexandria and a depiction of the Mother of God with Child from the first half of the 16th century have been preserved from the original furnishings . The sculptor Peter Breuer from Zwickau created the two sculptures from limewood . They were probably part of a winged altar , originally designed in color and are on loan to the House of Brandenburg-Prussian History in Potsdam in 2017 . The rest of the church furnishings are modern.

The Schuke organ dates from 1985. The stalls come from the Trebbin town church St. Marien .
