St. Marien (Kölzin)
The Protestant Church of St. Mary is a 19th century hall church in Kölzin in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald . It belongs to the parish of Gützkow and Behrenhoff in the Demmin provost in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany . Until 2012 she belonged to the Greifswald parish of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church .
Building history
In 1856 an application was made to build a church for the communities of Kölzin, Dargezin , Fritzow , Dambeck and Strellin. The construction costs for the church built as a branch of the Nikolaikirche in Gützkow were borne by the Gützkower church treasury. The church was built from 1860 and on 1 December 1862 the Pomeranian General Superintendent Albert Sigismund Jasper inaugurated .
architecture
The church was built from regularly hewn and very carefully layered field stones from the area around Strellin in the neo-Gothic style. It has a rectangular floor plan, the corners of which are highlighted with red brick pilaster strips . In the east there is a polygonal choir with a five-eighth end . The brick gables on the east and west side each have a stepped gable that is structured with panels . The western stepped gable is structured with a total of seven ogival screens, in which three ogival, three-part windows are built into the three centrally arranged screens. Above it, there is a bell in a pointed arch-shaped opening. The windows on the nave are also designed with ogival arches and bordered with yellow and red bricks. The western portal was there with a robe edged red brick. Above that there are three windows, the shape of which is identical to that of the west gable. A round arch frieze runs below the eaves . A sacristy was built on the south side , the walls of which are plastered white .
Furnishing
The choir is separated from the nave with a narrow triumphal arch , which in turn, with a reddish painting, represents a sharp contrast to the otherwise simple, white plastered church. The window glazing dates from around 1862. There are also two brass candlesticks and two crosses from the second half of the 19th century in the sacred building. The organ with a neo-Gothic prospect by Friedrich Albert Mehmel (Stralsund) belongs to the equipment from the construction period . The instrument is located on a wooden west gallery and was built in 1862. It has four manual registers (principal 8 ', hollow flute 8', octave 4 ', octave 2'), a sub-bass 16 'in the pedal and a pedal coupler . In 1996 a restoration was carried out by the Sauer company .
