Village church Alt Schwerin
The village church is a listed church building in Alt Schwerin , a municipality in the Mecklenburg Lake District ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It belongs to the Neustrelitz Propstei in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany ( Northern Church ).
History and architecture
The building was bricked in brick at the beginning of the 14th century as a flat-roofed hall church , it was badly destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and only rebuilt after 1700 by the von Wangelin family . The shield arches indicate the original plan of a vault to two yokes ; the arches that are not closed suggest that an arching was never made. The southern pointed arch portal is kept simple. The windows were changed to have a pointed arch in 1866.
The interior is spanned by a beamed ceiling that rests on six wooden beams. The winter church was established in 1950 when the interior was redesigned.
tower
The first tower was built in half-timbered after 1700 and replaced in 1866 by today's square west tower , made of field and brick, the lower part of which was bricked in field stone. The helmet is eight-sided and crowned with a cross. There is a simple pointed arch portal in the tower. On the upper floor it is structured by brick friezes and sound openings .
Funerary chapels
The funerary chapels on the east and north sides were built in the middle of the 18th century. In the northern burial chapel there are two stone coffins for Christian Fr. von Wangelin († 1755) and his wife Adelheid A. von Heepen († 1758). They are decorated with coats of arms and crucifixion reliefs . The grave slab made of red sandstone for UW Schrutt shows angels and an inscription. The coat of arms tombstones for Johann Christoph von Wendhausen († 1724) and his wife Elisabeth von Wangelin († 1757) are remarkable.
