The Protestant parish church of St. Anna is a baroque hall church in the district of Tuttendorf von Halsbrücke in the district of central Saxony . It belongs to the Evangelical parish of Halsbrücke in the Freiberg church district of the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Saxony .

History and architecture

Originally the church was one of the holy Anna consecrated chapel . A chapel dedicated to St. Anne, the patroness of the miners, was built on the site, probably between the years 1190 and 1218. The medieval hall church was rebuilt in Baroque style and added side panels in 1871/1872. Restorations took place in 1936, 1983 and inside in 1989. The building is a plastered quarry stone building with a retracted, rectangular closed choir, which is almost as big as the nave and possibly arose from an older choir tower . A sturdy roof turret with a hood is arranged in the middle of the hall . The light-filled interior is finished with a remarkable stucco ceiling from 1710. It shows Christian and mining symbols as well as suggested scenes from the Bible, which are decorated with fine leaves and tendrils, some with gold heights, and which were restored in 1988/1989. The hall is surrounded by originally two-storey galleries, some of which have been reduced to one storey on the north and west-south sides, an organ gallery is built in the west, and a patron's box is built in on the south side of the choir . In the sacristy there is also a flat stucco ceiling with putti and tetragram .

Furnishing

The simple, wooden, two-storey altarpiece from the years 1670–1674 is decorated with two trumpet angels and two paintings with the Lord's Supper and the Crucifixion arranged one above the other. The simple pulpit, like the galleries, dates from the time of the baroque renovation. A chalice-shaped sandstone baptism has been preserved from the Romanesque period. A figure of Anna herself three presumably comes from a Gothic carved altar. Several noteworthy epitaphs and grave monuments are still to be mentioned, including two children's tombstones in the choir from the second half of the 17th century, a rococo epitaph with obelisk , putti and inscription panels from the 18th century as well as an epitaph for Johann Heinrich Taube in the hall the year 1797, which consists of an inscription tablet wound around by a snake as a symbol of eternity and is crowned with oak leaves. In the vestibule there is a children's tombstone from the 17th century, another is from 1688.

organ

The valuable organ with a vase-crowned prospect is a work by Adam Gottfried Oehme from the years 1778–1782 with 13 stops on a manual and pedal . Before that, the organ from the old Jakobikirche in Freiberg served as an instrument. After minor repairs, the prospectus pipes had to be handed in for war purposes in 1917 and were replaced by zinc prospectuses in 1924. Jehmlich took care of the organ from 1924 and made minor changes to the layout (installation of Sifflöt 1 ′ instead of Quinta 3 ′). The disposition is:

I Manual CD – c 3

Dumped 8th'
