Plastered half-timbered building from 1713, Taufengel

In the Thirty Years' War Klein Briesen was completely devastated. In 1692 the von Thümen family, who owned the town and the church patronage, had a new building built. This was restored in 1996.

The street village was first mentioned in a document in 1419/1420 as Bresen, but by then it might have already fallen into disrepair. In 1569 it was rebuilt and in 1575 it became a branch church of Werbig. At that time, the church received a "Breitchen Land" from the patron, the Brandt family from Lindau zu Wiesenburg and Schmerwitz. Consequently, there must already have been a village church. In 1713, under the direction of August Friedrich Brand von Lindau, a new building was built on the remains of fieldstone.

Most of the church furnishings date from the time of construction. This includes an altarpiece with carved cheeks, in whose altarpiece a modern painting was attached. The polygonal pulpit is decorated with corner columns; there is also a latticed patronage and pastor's pew as well as a congregational pew. Inside there is a wooden ceiling and a gallery. Above the south portal is a sandstone relief with the year of construction and the alliance coat of arms by Joachim Friedrich von Thümen. To the west, a tombstone commemorates Ernst Christoph Boldick, who died in 1615. The von Thümen family probably acquired a floating baptismal angel in the middle of the 18th century. The figure is about 1.35 m tall and holds a wooden bowl in his right hand. A baptismal bowl could be placed in this, but also in a baptismal table on the south side. However, the bowl is no longer there.

After a long and tiring hike, I briefly considered whether the arduous climb up the tower was worth it, and yes! You have a surprisingly wide view over the lovely landscape, and you should enjoy it to the full.

Very nice quiet rest area.

Good rest stop on the way
