history

South view

Cramon was first mentioned in a document at the time of Bishop Berno zu Schwerin in 1178 in connection with the clergyman Dominus Franco de Cremun and, along with Kirch Stück and Hohen Viecheln, is one of the oldest villages east of the Elbe .

In the 16th century the von Drieberg, von Schöneich, von Oertzen, von Pentz families and the dukes of Schwerin owned and owned various kinds of property in Cramon. The von der Lühe and von Hundt families followed in the 17th century. After that it was the von Drieberg and von Cramon. In 1782 came the von Bassewitz family and from 1799 Johann Friedrich Böhl, who was raised to the nobility in 1818, was on Cramon. The von Böhl family stayed until 1939.

Only Johannes Kleveheu, who died in 1416, is known of the clergy of the Middle Ages. He was a priest in Cramon for 35 years and his gravestone is in the church. The patronage of the church, which belonged to the Schwerin diocese in the Middle Ages, was exercised by the sovereign.

Building history

Cramon was also mentioned in 1178 as one of the first Mecklenburg church buildings in the manorial environment. But it is questionable whether it was more than a wooden church at the time. The first stone-built churches, also in the monastic environment, were not mentioned until the 13th century. The brick church in Cramon was probably built at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th century. The construction of today's choir can be traced back to 1414. How exactly the first church building looked is unknown.

After 1701, Pastor Christian Gotthard Turlag kept Cramon's first church book. In 1714 the parsonage with barn and widow's house burned down. In 1727 the church was looted. The stolen goods were six linen blankets, a hymn book, a new Rostock Bible, two bell bags with a silver doily and Pastor's pocket mirror. The rectory was not rebuilt until 1782.

Exterior

The single-nave brick building with the polygonal east end belongs to the type of simple hall buildings. The heavily stepped buttresses point to an originally intended vaulting of the interior. It was probably built as a branch church of the Groß Eichsen priory . There is a St. John's cross on the roof of the nave. The hipped roof was covered with monk and nun tiles. For the new roofing with historic bricks from the Bavarian godfather church in Lehrberg , carried out in 1967 by the roofing company Weigand from Gadebusch , 131 applications were submitted to the state authorities for import permits.

Tower and connection to the nave

The west gable is provided with slender pointed arches. A free-standing wooden bell tower stood in front of it until 1842 and was demolished. In consideration of the decoration on the west gable, District Administrator Theobald von Böhl decided in 1844 when building the new multi-storey brick tower to move it a few meters away and to connect it to the nave through a vestibule. During the necessary renovation of the tower, the transverse gable roof received a weathercock in 2005.

At the end of the 17th century, a half-timbered vestibule was added to the south facade near the choir. Whole facade areas were covered with field stones under the pointed arched windows.

Interior

The interior of the church is simple and reminds little of pre-Reformation times. In the Middle Ages, the wooden beam ceiling was richly decorated with colored paintings and the floor was laid with simple bricks.

In 1823 the interior received a thorough renovation. The entire stalls and the wood paneling on the choir were renewed by the master carpenter Boos from Dalberg . The old pulpit , built in 1605 by Valentin Runge from Lübeck, was removed and placed over the altar . Two figural grave slabs and the fragment of the old stone funnel have also been preserved. For the consecration of the church, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz I gave the picture Jesus and the Emmaus disciples made by the Ludwigslust court painter Rudolph Suhrlandt , which is now hanging in the parish hall of the rectory. The Grand Duchess Alexandrine donated a red altar cover and the pulpit clothing.

During the repairs begun in 1952, the chancel , the stalls and the gallery were redesigned in 1953 and numerous 19th century inventory was removed. In 1956 the two choir windows were given figural glass paintings based on designs by the Schwerin pastor Pägelow. Today an oversized wooden cross characterizes the sanctuary between the two stained glass windows, the crucifixion in the left and the resurrection of Jesus in the right.

Baptismal font

The granite fountain from the 13th century once stood at the baptismal site in the west in front of the church, was moved further south when the massive church tower was built in 1844 and is said to have been planted with flowers in the summer months, as we still know today. During the renovation and redesign of the chancel in 1952, the baptismal font was brought back from the cemetery to the church and completely redesigned so that almost nothing of the early Romanesque Fünte is recognizable. The rough surface of the kuppa as a baptismal bowl, made by the stone-on-stone knocking technique, was smoothed all around. Almost four inches of the top had been removed. The foot was removed in favor of a far too large brick base and covered with a dark-colored round granite slab. Since the base was built into the pedestal of the chancel, there are often problems with the baptism for the baptismal society. The cup is 49.5 cm high and 82 cm wide, the baptismal bowl 68 cm wide and only 19 cm deep. The brick base is 46 cm high and 122 cm wide.

organ

The organ (I / AP / 5) was built in 1875 by Friedrich Friese III as a parapet organ . Formerly created as a flat neo-Gothic prospectus with three pointed arched pillar fields and flat top ends, today it only has upright stands between the fields. In 1917 the tin pipes were delivered for war purposes. In a redesign in 1953, the upper half of the case was removed and the reduced organ moved to the northwest corner. In 1966 organ builder Wolfgang Nußbücker from Plau renewed the organ with the old work. The organ was faithfully restored and made playable in February 2013 by the Rostock organ builder Johann-Gottfried Schmidt. With its 245 pipes, a new electric fan and a new prospectus, the organ is now back in its old place.

Bells

In the free-standing wooden belfry , which was broken off in 1842, two bronze bells cast by the Lübeck Landre have hung since 1877. The now oldest bell was cast in 1827 by Lübeck council founder Friedrich Wilhelm Hirt . The bell, cast in 1844 by Peter Martin Hausbrandt from Wismar, was cast in 1788. It was melted down in 1917 for war purposes. A bell cast by M & O Ohlssen in Lübeck in 1931 had to be sacrificed to World War II in 1941. In 1964 a new bronze bell came from the Apolda bell foundry with the inscription: Don't worry, the joy of the Lord is your strength , it was installed on April 9th ​​and rang for the first time on Ascension Day.

Tombstones

There are two figural tombstones in the church, one for the priest Johannes Kleveheu, who died in 1416 and who served in this church for 35 years. Surrounded by minuscule writing and the four evangelists, the priest is shown in regalia and with the chalice. The other tombstone was once behind the altar. In addition to the inscription for Joachim von Drieberg on Gottmannsförde , who died in 1572, it also contains the coat of arms with crest of the patronage families von Drieberg . In the four corners there are the coats of arms of the Drieberg, Bülow, Linstow and Smeker.
