View from the east side through the nave to the tower

The Werderthau village church is a Protestant church in the village of Werderthau, which belongs to the municipality of Petersberg in Saxony-Anhalt. It belongs to the Ostrau parish in the Halle-Saalkreis church district of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany. Currently (as of 2021) the nave has no roof, so the church is in a ruinous state.

The church is located on Wilhelm-Pieck-Platz in the center of Werderthau, which has been designated as a monument area. It is registered as a church in the local register of monuments under number 094 55288.[1]

Architecture and history

The building was built with a rectangular floor plan in 1696 and was renovated at the end of the 18th century.[2][3] Other information states that a previous building dating from before the Reformation was demolished in 1802 and replaced in 1803 by the building that still exists today.[4] The east end has just been completed. To the west of the nave is the square church tower, newly built in 1902 and featuring Romanesque spolia. There is a capital and a fighter with a chessboard frieze. At the same time, a polygonal vestibule was added to the southwest corner of the nave. Above the entrance to the vestibule is the inscription: If God is for us, who can be against us?

In 1998 the church tower was renovated, but at the same time the dilapidated roof of the nave had to be removed. The equipment and the church organ were stored in Ostrau.

The interior of the church was covered with a wooden barrel ceiling. There was a horseshoe gallery. The furnishings came from the time of renovation at the end of the 18th century. In the church there was a pulpit altar with Corinthian columns, two choir priests, a baptism in the shape of a chalice and an organ front. In 1806/1807 an organ created by Johann Gottfried Krug was installed in the church. The organ, which was rebuilt between 1840 and 1850, has 17 registers.[5] The double fold magazine bellows is still in its place on the second floor of the tower today.

The church tower bears a valuable ring of two bells, cast in 1505 (large) and 1570 (small) with the nominal numbers F#′ and G#′. Today both hang hand-belled on straight wooden yokes in a screwed steel belfry, which has two compartments. The bells ring across the direction of the nave.
