The St. Bartholomew Church is a baroque church building of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony in the Röhrsdorf district of Klipphausen . The churches in Naustadt and Sora also belong to the St. Bartholomew parish Röhrsdorf .
history
The site of today's church, exposed on a hilltop, has been a church site for at least 825 years. A parish existed from around 1500, with considerable interruptions. Little is known about the previous buildings.
Today's baroque hall church was built between 1737 and 1739 at the instigation of Johann August von Ponickau as a replacement for a small wooden church. The foundation stone was laid on May 10, 1737 by the agricultural clerk Johann Christian Simon , a student of Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann . The church was consecrated on July 26, 1739. The interior design of the new building was headed by Johann Benjamin Thomae . The free-standing altar, the pulpit, the decoration of the boxes and the free-floating baptismal angel go back to him. For the church tower, a drawing by Pöppelmann for the Protestant town church St. Nikolaus in Pretzsch was adopted almost unchanged.
The sacristy was rebuilt eleven years after the inauguration . In a lightning strike in 1801, part of the tower fell into the church roof. In 1840 three bells from the Kleinwelka colony were hung. For this purpose, the medieval bells still existing from the previous building were melted down. Five years later a new oak bell cage was installed, and the first chandelier was purchased in 1856 .
In 1888 extensive construction work took place inside the church. The galleries , the boxes and the benches were painted dark brown; the baptismal angel was painted light blue and decorated with gold stars. In 1894, extensive construction work on the outside of the church followed, and in the following year a church heating system was installed. In 1909 the tower received a tower clock with three dials.
During the First World War , the bells from 1840 had to be handed in in 1917. In 1921 a new three-part bronze bell was consecrated. It was one of the last from the C. Albert Bierling company . Extensive construction and restoration work took place inside and outside the church between 1935 and 1939. The church was connected to the power supply, a new church heating system and a new chandelier installed, the baptismal angel restored and the baroque paintwork on the galleries and benches exposed. In 1942, the two large bronze bells had to be handed in during World War II . A new bell arrived in 1958: three hard-cast iron bells from the Schilling and Lattermann bell foundries from Apolda .
In 1973 gas heating was installed in the church. In 1980 the glass chandelier crashed and new lighting was installed. A new chandelier was put into operation in 1984. This previously hung in Prohlis Castle, which was badly damaged by fire in 1980 .
Between 1986 and 1999 the church with its 49 meter high tower and the neighboring rectory, built in 1694, were gradually renovated. Another exterior renovation took place in 1995, the sacristy and the wooden floor were renovated in 1998. After a sponge infestation , the wooden floor of the sacristy had to be replaced with sandstone slabs in 2002. In 2003 the baptismal angel was restored. In addition, the church was drained and a gutter system was installed for the first time . In 2004, the steeple had to statically by a reinforced concrete - ring anchor to be secured. Another renovation between 2004 and 2005 concerned the roof structure of the nave, the patronage tombs of those of Ponickau and those of Fletscher under the church, the insulation of the ceiling, a new flooring. In 2006, the bell cage from 1845 was revised and three bronze bells in the G sharp minor key with a weight of 210, 410 and 550 kilograms were cast by the Lauchhammer art and bell foundry . Further restorations took place in 2007 (historical sacristy, altar), 2008 (church roof covering, lower window in the nave), 2009 (patron's box, church leaders' lodge, facade, renewal of all large church windows) and 2010 (heating, flooring in the galleries, power grid).
Furnishing
Baptism angel
The baptismal angel was created in 1738 by Benjamin Thomae, the Saxon court sculptor of August the Strong . The angel should be set in polished white with gold plating. The church elders from Röhrsdorf and Klipphausen probably didn't like this so much, so Thomae submitted a color scheme for the baroque color version, which the baptismal angel received afterwards and which is now wearing again. Similar baptismal angels by Thomae can be found in the Dreikönigskirche in Dresden . In 1839 the angel got patronage from the Klipphausener patronage under Heinrich LXIII. Reuss donated a new, silver baptismal bowl to Köstritz .
The angel floats down from the church sky by means of a historic winch. To ensure that the baptismal angel is certain, Thomae made a podium with pillows and four golden squares on which the angel can support himself with his knee. The clearly visible hole in the knee takes an iron mandrel so that the platform and angel do not slip. Since 1739 the angel has been used continuously in over 6000 baptisms. In 2003 the baptismal angel was extensively restored. Today he hangs on a plastic rope from deep sea fishing.
Patronage lodge and church chief lodge

Johann August von Ponickau had the baroque patron s lodge built for him when the church was rebuilt in 1739. His initials JAVP are affixed to the top of the box. The room called “Callatoris bed room” in the building bills was created with the help and influence of Thomaes and Simons. On the box there is a crown in the form of a vase. The sliding windows of the lodge are still original and are held in place by gilded window bars. The original Baroque version has been largely restored. When the noble ladies resided in Klipphausen during the warm season, they took part in the service in the box. This is also due to the alternative name Prinzessinnenstübchen . This use ended with the expulsion in 1945, the lodge was used as a warehouse and fell into disrepair. A restoration took place from 2009. Today it is used for pastoral talks and smaller gatherings.
The church chief's lodge was referred to as the church father's chair in the building bills. It was also created with the help and influence of Thomaes and Simons. On the box there is a crown in the form of a vase. After the last renovation in 2009, the box appears again in the original color. A new bench based on the historical model was installed and the floor was laid with sandstone slabs. The church leaders use the lodge today, for example, for confirmation services. The headmaster's lodge has no glazed windows and no gilded window bars.
The Meißner Sparkasse, the district, the Saxon regional church and the parish raised the cost of the renovation in 2009 in the amount of 70,000 euros.
organ

The organ in the new church from 1737 was the work of Johann Ernst Hähnel from Meißen . In 1804, 1837 and 1856 the organ had to be repaired. From 1883 donations were collected for a new building. Between 1885 and 1887 the community obtained several offers, and the order for a new organ was to be placed in 1889. In December 1887, the organ builder Carl-Eduard-Jehmlich from Jehmlich Orgelbau Dresden advertised the takeover of an organ from the Dresden Luther Exhibition in 1888. The very modern pneumatic windchest system in particular impressed the church council. The organ was inaugurated on October 14, 1888. Due to the war, the tin prospectus (139.6 kilograms) had to be handed in in 1917; it was later replaced by zinc pipes.
The pneumatic organ repeatedly proved to be prone to failure. In 1966, for example, the last attempt was made to repair the membrane drawer. In 1995 the organ was finally decommissioned as unplayable. In October 2014 the installation of a new organ began. The pipes and the case were reused, and the pneumatic loading system was transferred to an organ museum. The company Mitteldeutscher Orgelbau A. Voigt took on the order for the new building . The case was refurbished by volunteers and a restorer. The gaming table area has been completely rebuilt. The inauguration took place on December 28, 2014.

Stone cross
There is an old stone cross on the churchyard wall , which was probably made in the 15th or 16th century. The monolith, with an average height of 87 centimeters, was discovered in 1896 at a depth of three meters at the intersection of Dorfstrasse and Naustadt-Klipphausener Weg during excavation work for a drain. It was buried there at an unknown time. Its original meaning is unknown. By decision of the Röhrsdorf church council, the accidentally rediscovered cross was erected at its present location in 1896 as a war memorial.
