The best traffic-free bike rides around Dahmetal

A beautiful, easy and short tour, which can also be ridden well in intense sunshine, as there is a lot of shade. Even the roads to be ridden are not busy. I didn't see any places to stop during the week.

The furnishings include an altarpiece, which was created around 1700 and restored in 1975. Regrettably, no consideration was given to its original character.[4] It shows the Last Supper of Jesus in the predella and the crucifixion of Christ in its main image, divided into three panels by vine leaf columns, flanked by the birth and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Above the main image, the Ascension is depicted between two angels with instruments of the Passion. The side altarpieces have been missing since the restoration; some remnants were in the possession of a restorer in 2023. The altar was created by the Calau cabinetmaker Georg Wolschke and the Lübben painter Michael Scharbe,[5] who were also active, for example, in the parish church of St. Sebastian (Baruth/Mark) and in Gollmitz (Calau). The pulpit is decorated with corner columns; above it hangs a sounding board with a trumpeting angel. These include altar stalls with the coat of arms of Siegmund Seyfried von der Dahm, the governor of the Margraviate of Lower Lusatia, who died after 1710/1716.[6] The font is made of wood, hexagonal, and shaped like a table. It dates from the 18th century. A 16th-century crucifix is attached to the south wall. It is flanked by two stained glass windows on the south wall from 1911, a gift from Margarethe von Uckro (1859–1934), sister of the entail lord Paul von Uckro auf Uckro (1862–1919), and depicts "The Sinking Peter" and "Christ in Gethsemane." Next to the west gallery, there is also a Gothic sacrament niche on the east wall. In the patron's lodge hangs a memorial tablet for Ernst Siegmund von Rex, who died in 1756[7], as well as two of the family's children's gravestones at the lodge entrance. The flat interior ceiling is plastered and decorated with a stucco molding. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Uckro

On the western side of the box, two windows, each at the same height, are blocked with red brick. In the western section of the north wall of the nave, there is a pointed arch portal, blocked with fieldstone and brick. The fieldstone church tower was also rebuilt. On the north and south sides, there is a segmental-arched window on the ground floor. Approximately at the height of the nave's eaves, the observer can see a small, blocked opening. This opening is still present on the south side. Above the eaves, the builders did not use fieldstone, but rather an octagonal framework made of dark wood, the interstices of which were filled with reddish brick. On four of the eight sides, there is a rectangular arcade, which culminates in a curved tower cap with a lantern, turret ball, weather vane, and cross.

The hall church was built from fieldstones with a rectangular floor plan. The building is one of a series of boulder buildings west of the Luckau-Golßen line.[3] They are unhewn except for the cornerstones and are layered in the lower section. The lines run through the upper half of the building. The choir is rectangular and recessed, while the church tower, although also rectangular in plan, protrudes noticeably from the alignment of the nave walls. On the south side of the nave there are two large, segmental-arched windows, the shape of which is further emphasized by plastered surrounds. Between the two windows there is a much smaller opening blocked up with bricks. Between the nave and choir is the aforementioned staircase to the pulpit. It is built from unevenly layered fieldstones and here too a blocked opening can be seen in the eastern section. In the choir, there are two additional windows on the north and south sides, while in the east wall, the original lancet-shaped triple window group was filled with fragments of brick. The gable is also constructed of unevenly layered, small fieldstones, which were supplemented with fragments and bricks. The Baroque patron's lodge dominates the north side of the nave. The rectangular building, made of fieldstone and brick, is strictly structured on its north side with three large windows on the upper floor. Below each of the outer walls is a rectangular door with a rectangular window in between. All openings, as well as the corners of the building, are highlighted with light plaster and a keystone.

The exact construction date of the sacred building is unknown. The Dehio handbook only vaguely indicates the end of the 14th or beginning of the 15th century as the date of its construction. The church received an organ around 1700. In the first third of the 18th century, the parish added a patron's lodge and built a chancel staircase at the southeast corner of the nave. The top of the west tower was probably rebuilt at the same time. Between 1904 and 1905, the Schuke company from Potsdam installed a new organ for 2,044 Reichsmarks. It was restored in 1981, 1995, and 2005. Since 1970, the parish has used the patron's lodge as a parish hall. The church underwent extensive restoration in 1995, followed by the lodge in 2010 and 2011. The building and the surrounding cemetery served as hereditary burial sites for the former patron families, including the von Trosky family.[1][2] Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Uckro
