The Evangelical Lutheran village church Behlendorf is an early Gothic stone church in Behlendorf .

history

The founding of the single-nave stone church in Behlendorf is not documented. Its origins are dated to the middle of the 13th century. The church tower was built in 1893; previously the church had a wooden bell tower from 1660.

The church consists of a nave with two bays and a retracted box choir. The sacristy on the north side is also from the early Gothic period. The porch on the south side of the church was added later. Inside there are rib vaults in the yokes of the nave and in the choir . There is a gallery in the west . Some paintings of the church from the time it was built have been preserved.

Furnishing

Chancel with pulpit

The baroque altarpiece and the late renaissance style pulpit were donated by Katharina Brosius born in 1635. Warendorp , the widow of the Behlendorfer court tenant Bernhard Brosius of the church. They bear the coats of arms of both families. The donor family with their three children is shown on the altarpiece. The first baptismal font made from Gotland limestone has been in the possession of the St. Anne's Museum in Lübeck since the 19th century .

The church windows have 39 coats of arms in stained glass, mostly the coats of arms of the Lübeck councilors from 1603, an indication that Behlendorf belonged to the Hanseatic city as an exclave from 1428 to 1937 . There are also pictures and epitaphs of pastors in the church .

local community

Mobile belfry of the parish

Even after the incorporation of Behlendorf into the Duchy of Lauenburg in 1937, the parish continued to belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lübeck and to the Lübeck parish of the North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church . In 1978 the parishes of the two former exclaves Nusse and Behlendorf merged. In connection with the reorganization of the church districts, the congregation came to the Lauenburg district of the unified church district Lübeck-Lauenburg in 2009, and since 2012 the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .
