location
The road Alt Löwenbruch leads from the north to the historic village green. There the church stands on a raised area, which is enclosed with a wall made of poorly hewn and lightly layered field stones .
history
The sacred building was erected in 1716 instead of a previous medieval building . The church patronage at that time lay with the landlord Achatz von Alvensleben . In 1805 the parish had the previously pointed spire replaced by a tent roof . In 1974 craftsmen renovated the upper tower floors .
Building description
The structure was essentially built from bricks , which were then plastered . The corners of the building are emphasized by pilaster strips , as is the base by a surrounding plaster strip . The choir is straight and has not moved in. On the eastern wall, on the two outer sides, there are two large, arched windows with profiled bezels and a highlighted keystone . In the center is a similarly designed panel .
This triad can also be found on the nave . There are also two windows of the same type on the outside, with a smaller, raised one in the middle. In the direction of the choir is a small, wooden and arched gate on the southern side, which leads to the patron's box. It is missing on the northern side. Only the three windows were installed there.
The west tower is rectangular and strongly drawn in. Access is from the west through an arched portal. The floors above are square and boarded up. A tower clock is attached to the north and south sides. Above it is a tent roof that ends with a tower ball and weather vane.
Furnishing
The squat pulpit altar is a donation of the church patron from 1719. It consists of a curved pulpit to which the reliefs of the four evangelists were attached. They are not supplemented by a picture of Jesus Christ , as usual , but by a preacher who could represent Martin Luther . Below is the saying: "God's word and Luther's / teaching, perish now and / never!" Behind it is a column structure with pilasters that carry a radiant sun in a blown gable . On the side are wooden cheeks decorated with acanthus , which bear the coats of arms of the von Gröben and von Thümen families . The hexagonal, wooden fifth was made in 1670 and bears the initials of Balzer Ernst von der Gröben and Dorothea Sybille von Thümen. It was unprofessionally restored in 1969, in which it was given a falsifying coat of paint. The baptismal lid can be operated via a rope from the porch of the church tower.
The church's furnishings also include three carved figures, which are among the oldest preserved carved figures in the Margraviate of Brandenburg: two bishops from around 1300 or from the second half of the 14th century and Anna herself . This figure is dated to the year 1380 and was originally in an altarpiece in Sieversdorf . A crucifix was made in the first half of the 17th century. On the south side is a two-storey patron s lodge with sliding windows. It can be entered from the outside through the wooden door on the southeast side of the building.
The inside of the structure is flat covered.
A bell from the 14th century hangs in the tower.
