The Evangelical Lutheran village church Dreveskirchen is a listed church building in Dreveskirchen, a district of Blowatz in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). The community has been linked to the parishes of Alt Bukow and Neuburg since 2000 and to Kirch Mulsow since 2003.

history

The Dreveskirchen daughter church was separated from the parish of Neuburg in 1229, and Bishop Brunward allowed a church to be built. The name at that time was Oedeskerken (church in the wilderness) because of the remote location of the place . The Church's patronage had been in the hands of the Abbot of Doberan since 1306. Doberan Monastery retained patronage until its dissolution in 1552. Then the patronage changed between the sovereignty and the families from Strahlendorf to Goldebee and from Goeden to Damekow . The von Viereck family had patronage since 1873 . It is no coincidence that the pulpit is lower than the patronage stalls.

Building history

The church is a stately brick building , the oldest part of which is the choir, built in the second half of the 13th century. It is an example of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic .

Exterior

The two-bay nave around 1260/1270 closes with a slightly retracted square choir . The sacristy on the north side from 1245/1255 is the oldest part of the building. The east gable is particularly richly decorated, the base of the gable triangle forms a double German band . The mandorla above indicates the elevated seat of Christ, it is flanked by arcades , these symbolize the twelve apostles. A large aperture cross is visible between the arcade arches. The sacristy gables were renewed between 1980 and 1990. On the exterior, clearly different details of the choir and nave can be seen. The ship is made high in field stone and closes with a bead. The walls are divided by pilaster strips as well as pointed arch and stair friezes. The choir shows the remains of rich, black glazes, its wall base is profiled with a bulge and a throat. The northern of the two return portals is profiled with quarter bars, the southern one with cloverleaf bars with triangular capitals . The ogival windows are mostly put together in pairs. The choir wall is structured by a group of three windows with garments partially glazed with bricks.

The interior of the church is vaulted. The ribbed vault in the nave rests on stepped pillars and round corner services ; the dome-shaped ribbed vault in the choir rests over round services. The heavy, pointed triumphal arch between the choir and nave is decorated with medallions depicting the heads of the apostles. They were created by Karl Andreae from Dresden during the restoration that began in 1873 . He also created the designs for the neo-Gothic stained glass around 1870 in the eastern three-window group with depictions of the saints, in the right window panel John the Baptist with a cross staff decorated with flags and in the left window panel Paul with sword and book in his hands. The two full figures were executed in black solder painting on clay glasses.

The statics of the building were secured in 1995 with a new ring anchor and the renovation of the vaults . During this work, medieval paintings were uncovered on the ribs and baroque paintings on the vaults.

On September 6, 2013, thieves stole two large chandeliers, two candlesticks and a crucifix.

The 56 meter high square west tower was started in the 14th century. Its neo-Gothic upper storeys with aperture gables and the octagonal helmet were not built until 1888. The new church tower door was installed in 1890. Two bells hang on the bell storey.

Interior

organ

The organ (I / P / 15) with its baroque prospect was built in 1754 by the Mecklenburg court organ builder Paul Schmidt from Rostock. It is the oldest still with hand-cast tin pipes and one of five surviving Paul Schmidt organs in Mecklenburg. On the gable shield of the outer towers it says: ANNO 1754. The biggest changes were made in 1840 by the Wismar organ builder Friedrich Wilhelm Winzer . It was his first assignment in Mecklenburg. He rearranged the organ, changed the playing and stop actions, changed windchest bearings and windboxes. The double-fold magazine bellows were installed by Carl Börger in 1914 in place of the wedge bellows. In the 19th century, the case was painted brown, wood-colored, and in 1929 even gray-blue and red. The original version was uncovered again in 1999 and the prospectus pipes were silvered according to findings. From 1999 to 2001 the restoration was carried out with a reconstruction from 1755 by Kristian Wegschneider from Dresden and the restorers Hilke Frach-Renner and Peter Taubert. The organ on the west gallery is now used again for concerts.

altar

The altarpiece from the first half of the 18th century, with double columns and a blown segmented gable, is accompanied by allegorical figures of Spes and Fides, and the donor's coat of arms flanked by angels is crowned with the Man of Sorrows . The painting in the predella on the basement floor depicts the Last Supper, the painting on the main floor depicts a triumphant Christ, it was painted by Carl Andreae at the end of the 19th century.

pulpit

The pulpit, erected in 1736, is stylistically richly carved; the figures of the evangelists stand on her basket between heavy acanthus volutes .

Gallery

The two-storey west gallery and the patronage gallery on the north side were probably added at the same time in the 19th century. The patronage box bears a large cartouche with the coat of arms of the von Goeden family. The carved body of the late Gothic triumphal cross from the beginning of the 16th century is extremely expressive. The ends of the cross are decorated with evangelist symbols and leaf crabs . The cross was put together in a group with various carved figures. The figures of Mary and an angel are works from the second half of the 15th century by a former Annunciation group. A carved bishop figure from the first half of the 15th century, which probably comes from an altar shrine.

Several fragments of figures and frames, as well as ornaments of an epitaph and an altar are exhibited in the tower.

epitaph

The epitaph for Detlov v. Goeden (1652–1712), colonel in the Hanoverian service, was made after 1712.

Grave slabs

The large grave slab for a member of the von Oldenburg family near the pulpit with a large coat of arms and chronogram is probably from the beginning of the 18th century. The capitalized letters indicate the year of birth and death of the owner. The wooden leg warmers of armor from 1714 of the von Goeden family who lived in Dreveskirchen were added; Tournament lances are on the sides.

baptism

The baptismal stand is from the second half of the 19th century, the baptismal angel removed from the choir is from the 18th century.
