The village church Groß Brütz is an Evangelical Lutheran church building in Groß Brütz, a district of the municipality Brüsewitz in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). It belongs to the parish of Groß Brütz in the Wismar provost of the Mecklenburg parish in the north church .

history

Groß Brütz was first mentioned in 1357 when Count Otto I of Tecklenburg-Schwerin prescribed the Bede of several villages to his court marshal Henning von Halberstadt . But as early as 1337 the von Halberstadt sat on Brütz.

Still called Brusenitze in the 14th century , Groß Brütz was mentioned after an unprinted document dated June 23, 1456, in which Bishop Nicolaus Böddeker of Schwerin confirmed the patronage of the church to the Lords of Halberstadt. From 1422 the von Halberstadt families were inherited in Groß Brütz. They were the founders of the church in Groß Brütz and the chapel in Lütten (Klein) Brütz. The purchase contract between the brothers von Halberstadt on Klein Brütz and Camin and the heirs of Lüttke von Halberstadt on Gottesgabe, Grambow and Gallentin and Adam von Lepel on Secknitz was concluded on April 13, 1610.

Owners changed frequently over the centuries. In 1627, Duke Adolf Friedrich I of Mecklenburg and Hans von Halberstadt on Groß Brütz, Gottesgabe and Vietlübbe in the Gadebusch office contractually agreed to an exchange. Klein received Weltzin from Halberstadt and gave the duke his farm positions in Wüstmark and Sülten in the Schwerin office . After Jakob Crivitz from Lübeck, the von Platen family followed until 1784 . In 1764 they paid chapel and poor allowances from Gut Brütz to the church. The court marshal Konrad Ignaz Franz Wilhelm von Lützow acquired the goods in Groß and Klein Brütz and these remained in family ownership until 1863 with the church patronage.

Building history

The current village church of Groß Brütz is a late Gothic brick building that was consecrated to the Mother of God in 1456 by the Schwerin bishop Nicolaus Böddeker . Nothing is known about the previous building of the place mentioned at the end of the 13th century. In 1668 Pastor Albertus announced “that there was a witch there and that a cow had died for him.” In the visitation protocol from 1694 a legend is mentioned with the appearance of the Madonna at the laying of the foundation stone, of which there are also other versions. In 1725 a donation of 30 Rtlr. for the repair of the church tower.

Exterior

The new church in the middle of the 15th century is a simple hall building with a three-sided east end. The stepped buttresses indicate that a vault was planned. Under the high, ogival windows between the buttresses of the north and south façades, irregular field stones, some meters high granite blocks, were mixed into the brickwork. The nave has a hipped roof and modern nun tiles. There are two attached burial chapels on the south facade; on the tower that of the von Plessen family on God's gift and on the nave that of the von Lepel family on Grambow . Count Schack had the burial place of those of Halberstadt renewed.

The two-storey square west tower, which was added around 1500, is provided with a pyramid roof and plain tiles. On the western tip of the roof ridge there is a gold-plated cross above the sphere. The two-part recessed pointed arched windows under the overlapping arches of the tower sides were also equipped with an oculus as a blind round window as a decorative element. The reveals of the high, ogival entrance portal have been designed with a decorative garment profile.

Interior

In 1889–1890 a comprehensive restoration took place inside the church. The neo-Gothic furnishings were incorporated. The pulpit and baptism were renewed in 1699.

During the restoration in 1890, the enlarged choir windows were given colored glass paintings from Ferdinand Müller's Quedlinburg workshop. The motifs are the risen Christ in a radiant wreath Madonna and busts of the apostles and evangelists in black painting on antique and cathedral glasses. Color additions and re-leading in the east window were carried out in 2000 by the Luise Brügemann glazier from Schönfeld Mühle near Mühlen Eichsen.

Altar and pulpit

Pulpit from 1699

The crucifixion painting in the neo-Gothic altarpiece was created by the Schwerin painter Louise Schmidt based on an altarpiece painted by Carl Gottfried Pfannschmidt in 1874 for the village church in Serrahn near Krakow am See. Worth seeing on the north wall in the tower are the two side wings with the carved figures of the twelve apostles from the end of the 15th / beginning of the 16th century, which were restored in 2007, made from the remains of an earlier three-winged Gothic retable .

The pulpit with the pillars turned on the basket is inscribed and dated to 1699.

baptism

The hexagonal wooden baptism with its lantern-like structure is from the 17th century. In the churchyard there is the cuppa of a Gothic fifth made of limestone, which was made around the middle of the 13th century and has been used as a flower bowl for decades.

Further equipment

The patronage box on the north side, dating from 1699 and bearing the coat of arms of the von Bülow , von Plessen, von Behr and von Schuckmann families, is of Baroque origin . In one of the manor's boxes there is the preserved old stove from the early 18th century with the black glazed tiles.

Two old paintings belong to the furnishings. The painting of the erection of the cross was painted in 1644 by Johann Hulsmann from Cologne. The painting “Christ praying on the Mount of Olives” was dated 1735.

organ

Runge organ

The organ (seven registers , a manual and pedal ) was built in 1864 by the Hagenower organ builder Johann Heinrich Runge . The case and the pipes were preserved during the renovation by his son Marcus Runge in 1924 , and pipe material from other organs was used due to the shortage of materials after the First World War . The gaming table is placed in the middle of the housing. In the organ substructure is the magazine bellows, above it the manual wind chest . The instrument, which was overhauled in 2010 by Orgelbau Weitendorf, has the following disposition :

Manual C – f 3
Drone 16 ′ from c
Principal 08th'
Dumped 08th'
Salicional 08th'
Octave 04 ′
flute 04 ′
Pedal C – d 1
Sub-bass 16 ′

Bells

The oldest bell was donated by Carsten (Caspar) von Halberstadt in 1474. Of the two bells, the broken bronze bell was cast in 1622 by the bell caster Joachim Gravert. It only bears the names of Christoffer von Halberstadt with his two wives Anna von Levzen (by Leutsch) and Elisabeth Götzen (by Götz) as well as the son Hans Jürgen von Halberstadt with his wife Dorothea Molken . In 1679 Pastor Hennings recorded a testimony: ... that the Grambow subjects, like the Brützer bells, performed the proper services like the Brützer, for which they gained freedom, that if they let their corpses ring, they did nothing shot.
