Sternebeck is a district of Prötzel in the Märkisch-Oderland district in Brandenburg . Sternebeck has around 150 inhabitants today and was an independent municipality until 1967.
history
The first mention of the place dates back to the year 1375. The large for the relatively small village, with about eight meters very deep star Becker fire water pond with its wide reeds and reed belt that because of the very dry, dominated by sandy soils around in the early 14 Artificially created in the 19th century, it is one of the few natural habitats in Brandenburg for the Central European pond turtle today .
The Vorwerk and probably previously an independent village of Daberkow once belonged to Sternebeck (including Doberkow; in the 14th century called Dobirchow). It was located in today's forest between Sternebeck, Steinbeck and Harnekop and in 1805 still had 4 houses and 46 residents. However, it was abandoned during the 19th century. In the Landbuch Karl IV. Of 1375 the brothers Claus and Matis Sternebeck are named as landlords of Sternebeck, and of Daberkow the brothers Peter and Claus von "Doberchow". These are likely to be the descendants of the first landlords and make an important contribution to the explanation of place names.
From 1898 to 1998, Sternebeck was a station on the Wriezener Bahn . Today the station is the location of a museum railway.
church
The church in Sternebeck (photo), built from 1302 to 1306 as a single-nave Romanesque hall church, was completely destroyed by marauding mercenaries in the Thirty Years' War in 1632 . It was only 60 years later that it was rebuilt in early Gothic forms. Of the interior, only part of the winged altar and a relief of the patron saint in the baptistery carved from oak wood, some of which are still in the original colors, are preserved. The pulpit and stalls were removed in the 1950s and gradually replaced with contemporary furniture in the years that followed.
The bell hanging on the upper floor of the tower dates from the time the church was first built around 1300 and is therefore of high monument value. It was cast from bronze in Stettin and has a diameter of 48 cm. Above a meander ribbon it bears the inscription IHS DOMINUS SANCTUS DEUS. Because of small cracks in the bell crown and damage to the wooden yoke, it is only rung on special church holidays and funerals. The two bells in the tower floor below date from the second half of the 19th century.
In 1813 the two-manual organ from the original equipment of the castle chapel of Prötzel Castle was moved to the subsequently built, simple organ gallery at the instigation of the bishop of Fürstenberg, although it was actually too large for the relatively small, simple church interior. Today it is no longer playable due to considerable damage to the manuals and due to zinc damage on the pipes. A comprehensive restoration is to take place in the coming years.
Small remains of the stained glass windows with pictures from the Passion of Christ from the time the new church was built in the 16th century replace the original impression of the high altar.
In recent years, some renovation measures have been carried out to preserve the church. The roof and tower were re-covered and damage to the plaster was repaired. The sacristy, which had been poorly housed in the basement of the tower next to the entrance portal for decades, was relocated to the former sexton's house to the north of the church, which is connected to the church by a corridor supported by carved oak columns. Further maintenance measures are to be financed from the Brandenburg Culture Fund.
