It belongs to the parish of Gressow-Friedrichshagen in the Wismar Propstei in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .

history

Friedrichshagen was founded by the German colonist Fredebern (Wredebern) around 1230. The name at that time was Vredeberneshagen and changed from Frebbershagen to Friedrichshagen. After its foundation, the village belonged to the parish of Gressow , but already had a church. In 1265, Prince Heinrich the Pilgrim placed the patronage under the bishop of Ratzeburg. During this time the Teutonic Order settled in the parish, founded the Krankow Commandery in Klein Krankow and also owned six Hufen land in Fredeberneshagen. When the Commandery came in 1355, it was bought by Marquard von Stove. In 1381 the Lords of Stralendorff bought the land, including 2.5 Hufen in Friedrichshagen, which later passed on to the von Negendancks and then to the von Bassewitz . From 1442 the Wehninger line of the Bülows was the owner here. During this time the church was built in its present form. The family is proven here in documents from the time of the Reformation and up to the 18th century. A coat of arms in the church still testifies to the church patronage of the Bülows. Another coat of arms reminds of the noble family von Stenglin , who owned the Bailiwick of Plüschow from 1753 to 1802. Since 1823 Friedrichshagen belonged to the lordly domanium.

The former vicarage of Friedrichshagen is used today as an armory and leisure center. The parish of Gressow-Friedrichshagen is looked after by changing curators pastorally.

At the entrance to the rectory there is a memorial plaque for Pastor Wilhelm Bartelt (1888–1947) who died on August 2, 1947 in special camp No. 9 Fünfeichen .

Building description

The church is a brick building on a field stone base. The nave and the choir form a space that is closed by a flat wooden ceiling. The construction time is indicated differently. Dehio dates the church to the 15th century, in the yearbooks of the Association for Mecklenburg History and Archeology from 1895 the second half of the 14th century is mentioned as the construction time. Eight two-part windows with only a slight ogival shape illuminate the room. The choir area is closed on three sides, with the baroque altar in the middle . The west tower is square and is closed by a hipped roof. Since the height of the tower without the tower roof does not exceed the ridge height of the nave, the church appears as a whole squat. There are buttresses on the nave. A planned design of the church with vaults, the beginnings of which are recognizable, was not implemented, there are no services and corbels.

The church shows clear damage from rising damp in the masonry, especially on the south side in the area of ​​the pulpit.

An epitaph painting from 1574 can also be seen on the north wall, it shows Hans von Bülow, who died in 1552, and Katharina von Plessen, who died in 1570.
