Dorfkirche Possendorf, Lutheran church in Possendorf, Germany.

Dorfkirche Possendorf is a two-nave hall church with a west tower whose grey stone midsection holds a clock face and arched louvered openings, topped by a dark curved roof and slender spire. The lower body has white walls, small windows and a steep red tiled roof, with a red-roofed section adjoining on the right. Inside, four double bays of ribbed vaults rest on eight-sided piers, and the southwest bay bears the year 1596.

Built as a new hall church reusing older remains, it was completed by Nickel Matig in 1596, as inscriptions on the two porches record. The porches were altered around 1779, and the tower's stone upper storey with its eight-sided belfry and spire followed rebuilds in 1663, 1699 and 1741. Restorations came in 1830, 1885 and 1954, and the interior was renovated in 2011.

The painted sandstone pulpit, carved around 1630, shows Christ as the new Adam in the central panel, flanked by Moses with the tablets of the law and John the Baptist. The pulpit stands on a high column base. The figures link the church's Reformation teaching to the biblical cycle of fall and redemption.

The interior is easy to navigate, with clear sight lines to the altar and pulpit from most locations. Visitors should know that the church is mainly open during religious services and prior notice is recommended.

A wooden crucifix from the 16th century on the south wall features a genuine horsehair wig and crown of thorns. This original detail is rarely preserved and shows the craftsmanship of that distant time.
