Architecture and history

The plastered hall church was built from rubble stones in 1713/1714 . Before that, the Catholic and Protestant congregations shared, albeit not without tension, the church of the Hedersleben monastery located a little further to the west. The construction is said to have been realized by the Cistercian monastery on the monastery grounds. The windows are designed as high segment arch windows. In the long sides there is a portal on both the north and south sides . To the east is a five-sided polygon for the choir . The low church tower was not built until the 1950s and is located to the west of the ship . Until its construction, the Protestant and Catholic parishes still used the tower and the bell of the Catholic monastery church together. It ends with the ridge of the ship. The tower is not plastered in parts, was built on a square floor plan and is covered with a gable roof.

The interior of the church is spanned by a flat, plastered wooden barrel ceiling. The hall has an elongated horseshoe gallery. Above is an organ loft with a dating from the last third of the 19th century by Emil Reubke created organ . The parapet areas are provided with ears. Parts of the furnishings date from the construction period, including elements of the altar with depictions of Moses, John the Baptist, the torso of Christ crucified and four twisted columns. The originally complete altar from 1715 was destroyed in 1986. In addition, the gallery stalls are also from the construction period. There is also a floating baroque baptismal angel in the church . A wayside shrine with a crucifixion scene dates from the late renaissance . It also bears an inscription in memory of Dorothea Treckels von Oschersleben, who died in 1621.

Two picture windows have been preserved on the north side. They show the birth and resurrection of Christ and are the remainder of a cycle of images created in the 1920s.

The renovation of the church began in 2000.

The parish hall belonging to the church is built as a brick building. It is characterized by rhythmically arranged arched arcades . The churchyard is surrounded by a fence made of rubble stones. In the northeast area of ​​the churchyard there is a hereditary burial surrounded by a wrought iron fence .
