About this work
The Lutheran Village Church (Dorfkirche) in Groß Leuthen, a district of Märkische Heide, Landkreis Dahme-Spreewald, Brandenburg, Deutschland. The west tower of the church is from 1748 but the nave is a brick-built, rounded arch design built in 1857 in the style of the Schinkel school. This kind of architecture aimed at producing functional, efficient, scientifically designed public buildings that were nonetheless attractive. It was critically disdained at the time and many examples have been destroyed, but it is now regarded as a distinctive and valuable tradition that was an important precursor to architectural modernism.
