Discover the secrets of the Dedelow village church on July 11th!

in Dedelow, a small village about nine kilometers from Prenzlau, a very special event will take place on Friday, July 11th, at 6.30 p.m. The village church there opens its doors as part of the series "When churches tell ..." and invites visitors to immerse yourself in a fascinating world of history and faith. The church captivates with its almost unchanged medieval construction and is a real jewel among the worshipers of the Uckermark. As Nordkurier , the interiors are characterized by expressive paintings, which can be found above all on the gallery. As a result, the spiritual atmosphere of the church becomes alive.

A special treasure are the rare baroque "heart" emblematics by Daniel Kramer. These works of art offer visitors to the piety of past times and describe a spiritual life path. Another highlight is the altar that combines the splendor of a late medieval altar with a Renaissance altar. The bachades between the epochs before and after the Reformation tell stories of change and durability that arouse the interest of visitors and stimulate reflection.

The story of Dedelow

Dedelow looks back on a long and moving story. There are already traces of settlement in the Neolithic, and the Slavic settlement in the 11th and 12th centuries testifies to the cultural diversity that the region shapes today. The German colonization in the 13th century led to a dynamic development of the small town, which benefited from the mill economy through its geographical location on the Ucker and near the Quillow river. According to architectura.pomorze.pl , Dedelow 1320 received its first documentary mention.

architecture and cultural heritage

The church in Dedelow, which was built in the second half of the 13th century, now belongs to the Schönwerder community and is an example of early Gothic architecture. Her solid granite blocks and the characteristic floor plan give her a monumental character. The church is surrounded by a churchyard that is still used as a local necropolis. As mentioned on uckermark-zecken.de , there are also wall paintings from late Gothic, which were discovered in 1963. These are supplemented by important furnishings, such as the Renaissance altar from the early 17th century and the pulpit from the first half of the 17th century.

Next Friday, interested parties can take the opportunity to experience the unique atmosphere of the village church and to discover the stories that tell these time -honored walls. A visit is therefore not only worthwhile for those interested in history, but also for everyone who wants to go on the footsteps of past life.
