Christ Church Bobbau

Bobbau had a church, which was described in 1833 as "quite old, but newly built".[2] It was first documented in 1612 and was replaced by a new building when it became too small.[3] This new brick building was built in 1875 and 1876, but according to other sources it was built in 1874 and 1875. In the Second World War, the church was badly damaged in 1945 because it was in the battle line. In particular, the tower roof was destroyed.[4][5][3] In the 1950s, the damage was repaired and restored in a simplified form.[6] This was not completed until 1958.[7]

The Christ Church is characterized by a massive west tower, which is somewhat wider than the nave, but towers over it in its entire width as a crossbar. Similar to the Havelberg Cathedral, the middle is somewhat higher than the flanks and is emphasized by a roof tower, which here, however, has been given a somewhat stronger tower shape. Today, this part of the building stands out even more because, after reconstruction, it is significantly brighter than the rest of the church: on a square base, which is decorated with a clock on the west and east sides, there is an octagonal tower top with a helmet - which has been preserved in a reduced form. This now consists of a tent roof, but was significantly higher and slimmer before the destruction.[4]The direct model for the middle floor of the west building was probably the village church of Vockerode - built between 1810 and 1812 - which also has three large neo-Gothic windows facing west and one each facing north and south. They are decorated with trefoil tracery and can also be found on the nave, which has five axes and the tower axis. On the roof tower and the five-sided choir, however, there are simpler windows. On the ground floor, the windows are rectangular and narrow. Extensions have been added to the west and south, each of which covers the entrances. There is a frieze on the choir and on the tower roof. Despite the destruction and the ground floor windows, it is a uniformly neo-Gothic building.[5]The church is a listed building and is registered in the monument register with the number 094 96547.[8] The church tower serves as a nesting place for barn owls and kestrels, for which the church was awarded by the NABU in 2008.[6]

Inside the church there are galleries on three of the four sides, which have Gothic arcades. The bronze bells date from the 13th century and 1501 respectively. The organ was created by Wilhelm Rühlmann in 1880.[4] It was built as Opus 31 with 14 registers.[9] Since it is five by three meters in size, the individual parts had to be brought from Zörbig to Bobbau in four wagons. The organ case features neo-Gothic carvings and tracery, pinnacles and columns with capitals.[7] The bells fell silent in December 2020, and a rescue operation was launched in August 2022.[10] New choir windows were inaugurated in 2009, followed by new interior painting in 2010 and 2011.[6]
