history
A church leader from the church district of Zossen-Fläming states that a church was built as early as 1186. At that time it was built as a single-nave structure under the direction of the Cistercians . However, no further data have survived from her, as the church was destroyed in a city fire. In the middle of the 13th century a basilical building with a rectangular choir and west tower made of field stone was built. The aisles were later torn down again, possibly in connection with an extension in the south. In 1512, an Anne chapel was added to the north. In 1666 this church also burned down. The trigger for the so-called "Dahmer fire wedding" is said to have been a woman who is said to have looked after a wedding party. According to a church leader, she should have forgotten a pan on the stove and thus triggered the city fire. During the reconstruction from 1671, the Annenkapelle was torn down and the church was rebuilt as a gallery hall with a mansard hipped roof. The tower received a copper-covered tail hood in 1697/1698 . Inside, the church was renovated from 1905 to 1906 and from 1966 to 1967. The last renovation began in 2009 with the renewal of the tower and ended in 2014.
architecture
Parts of the surrounding wall are still preserved from the early Gothic hall building with west transverse tower and extension in the south. In the east wall there is a group of three windows and in the south wall there is a step portal with a pointed arch. There is also a step portal on the west side.
The choir, side arm and nave are equipped with two-storey horseshoe-shaped galleries. The oldest choir gallery dates from 1678. The ceiling is a plastered wooden barrel. The organ prospectus probably dates from 1906, behind it is the actual Schuke organ from 1989.
Furnishing
The baroque altarpiece dates from 1678 and is a donation from the squire Melchior von Schlomach. The predella shows an image of the Lord's Supper . The main field is framed by columns with vine leaves, it shows a crucifixion group with a view of Jerusalem. In the essay a picture shows the angel at the grave . There are two putti and a figure of Christ here.
The pulpit also dates from 1678. Evangelists and prophets from the Old Testament are depicted on the staircase and on the basket. During the last renovation, lead windows that were bricked up were exposed to the right and left of the pulpit. The portraits in the windows were destroyed, so in the 1950s the congregation decided to portray two Dahmer personalities: Christian Gottlieb Teichelmann (1807–1888), a missionary in the south of Australia, and Georg Buchholzer (1503–1566), a close friend Martin Luthers and Philipp Melanchthons .
The baptismal font from the first half of the 18th century has the shape of a baluster vase . In the choir there are boxes, on the north side probably that of the lord of the castle of Bollensdorf, on the south side the box of the dukes of Saxony-Weißenfels . In the north-east corner of the choir there is another box at ground level.
There are several tombstones in the church and in the tower hall.
graveyard
The former cemetery surrounding the church has the character of a park. Most of the tombstones date from the second half of the 18th century. The cemetery portal dates from 1913.
