The Protestant village church St. Johannis is in the Petersdorf district of the city of Nordhausen in the Nordhausen district in Thuringia . The local parish is looked after by the Krimderode-Niedersachswerfen parish in the southern Harz parish of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .
history
The village church is located in the valley on a serpentine road through the village to Hasselfelde . The oldest part is the square church tower base on which the tower , which is built to the east, stands. The church and the tower are made of gypsum and anhydrite rubble , which are mostly covered with plaster. The church was destroyed in the Thirty Years War and then rebuilt in its present form. Written data have not been preserved.
The destroyed tower was not rebuilt, but a baroque roof turret with a slated framework was built over the tower base.
Nave
In 1964 and 1965 the galleries were torn down and a winter church was set up. The barrel vault received a better facing; the walls were plastered and whitewashed and the choir was redesigned.
The pulpit altar with its figures and ornaments was positioned more appropriately in the room, the altar basket was redesigned and the triptych with the lost side wing was added. In addition, the church stalls were renewed and the grave vault was sealed.
Instead of the harmonium , there was a new organ from Potsdam .
After 1905 the parish had three bells. Two of them were melted down for war purposes, which were replaced around 1920. The tower clock from 1936 has a mechanical weekly movement.
After the political change , the renovation and security work was completed.
