Wattmannshagen village church
The Protestant village church Wattmannshagen is a Gothic church in the Wattmannshagen district of Lalendorf in the Rostock district in Mecklenburg. It belongs to the Wattmannshagen parish in the Rostock provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Northern Church) .
Building description
The Wattmannshagen church consists of the clearly separated parts of the choir, nave and tower. The choir on a rectangular ground plan made of field stones is the oldest part, dating from around 1260. It is closed on the inside by a dome-like domical vault with eight ribs and opened to the nave with a heavy pointed triumphal arch . The broader brick nave was dendrochronologically dated to 1283 and provided with the unusually powerful tower on a square floor plan from around 1290. A restoration was carried out in 1858-1860.
The ship has two bays and is finished with ribbed vaults. All three parts are covered with longitudinal gable roofs. The nave and the tower have three richly profiled portals in the north, south and west with set columns, glazed bricks and leaf decorations in the capital area. The southern portal is particularly rich, where the archivolts are also decorated with leaves. The tower originally had four gables decorated with panels and has also had a gable roof since 1757. The windows are ogival with simple tracery made from vertical bars and quatrefoils, which in this form apparently comes from the restoration. A round window with simple tracery made up of circles is arranged above the west portal, as can be found in a similar place on the Reinshagen village church, which was around the same time .
Furnishing
The wooden altar was installed in 1738; the altar painting with the crucifixion is by J. Hohenschildt. The wooden pulpit from 1737 is adorned with the evangelists and the Salvator mundi on the pulpit and rich acanthus ornamentation. The simple baptism from 1653 is fitted with fittings .
The organ with a neo-Gothic prospect, two manuals and pedal and 11 stops was built by Friedrich Albert Mehmel in 1860 . It originally comes from the Pantlitz village church in Western Pomerania, but was rescheduled and expanded several times before it was implemented.
