Village church Groß Niendorf
The village church Groß Niendorf (also known as a chapel ) is a small stone building in the Mecklenburg town of Groß Niendorf , a district of the municipality of Zölkow in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
history
Groß Niendorf was first mentioned in a document in 1256 as Niendorp villa , when Pribislaw II von Richenberg awarded Niendorf to his chaplain Jordan with the parish of Wamckow. Wamckow, Groß Niendorf, Hohen and Klein Pritz together formed a parish. Nigendorp was also mentioned in the papal letter of protection for the Sonnenkamp monastery in 1267 .
Shortly before his fateful pilgrimage to the Holy Land , Prince Heinrich I of Mecklenburg gave the Sonnenkamp Monastery in Neukloster two hooves and the right to property from Niendorf Duos mansos in Nyendorp, que est terra Parchem . A cloister roll from 1319 reads: “In Niendorf we have eight marks in taxes every year….” In 1345, Niendorf was mentioned several times, for example Villa Nyendorpe in terra Sternebergh and Villa Nyendorpe, inter Parchim et Sterneberch in terra Nostra in parrochia Wamecowe situata. A confirmation of the property of Duke Albrecht von Mecklenburg from 1362 to the monastery can also be seen that the property in Groß Niendorf has remained unchanged.
Between 1478 and 1603 Wamckow was owned by the von Plessen family , who also received income from Niendorfer Hufen after 1570. The church in Niendorf was therefore always a branch of the Wamckow church. It was first mentioned in a visitation protocol from 1514, but it seems to have been built earlier. At that time, the Brüeler Plessen also owned the church in Wamckow. Around 1700 the so-called Lübzer Vogtei consisted of eight villages, including Niendorf. The mother church was Wamckow, the daughter church Niendorf and the right of patronage at that time was the office of Lübz. According to the confessional register of 1751, 97 people lived in Groß Niendorf, of which 29 were free men, 66 were princely and two noble subjects. In 1841 Groß Niendorf came from the Lübz office to the Goldberg domain and from 1876 to the Crivitz office.
Building history
Judging by the architectural style, the church was built at the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th century with the plan that is still preserved today.
After 1666 Niendorf temporarily had no parish of its own, people went to the churches of Ruest and Mestlin . There were constant changes in the church order of Niendorf. Until 1740 Groß Niendorf was still looked after by the patronage from Wamckow. After that, Groß Niendorf belonged to the area of the Prestin Church and from 1971 to the Kladrum parish. Groß Niendorf has been part of the parish of Mestlin since 1994. The burials of the deceased took place around the church. In 1886 the new cemetery was laid out on the outskirts in the direction of Runow.
Exterior
The church, more like a chapel, is a simple field stone building without a tower. All building edges and openings are framed with brick in the medieval monastery format .
Until 1951 the church had a gable roof with two high gable triangles. The east gable was provided with long panels and a pointed arch, while the west gable was smoothly bricked. Both gables were already in danger of collapsing around 1900. But the plans to demolish and rebuild were not implemented. On January 14, 1951, both gables collapsed and the entire interior was destroyed. Despite the lack of building materials, the chapel was quickly rebuilt and consecrated on December 16, 1952, but has had a hipped roof since then .
The reveals of the two pointed arched lattice windows with lead glazing, built very high on the north and south facades, are made of brick. There is a very narrow entrance door on the south side. The door on the west facade is designed with a pointed arch and a recessed round arch, and flanked by two small round-arched panels . In 1994 the roof structure was renewed and the roof was re-covered with plain tiles. An internal restoration took place in 2007.
Interior
The interior of the chapel is kept simple with the flat ceiling. An internal renovation took place in 2007.
Altar and pulpit
Before the east gable collapsed, a pulpit altar from 1606 stood on the choir wall, nothing of which has been preserved. Today the altar consists of a simple brick block and the pulpit on the north wall consists of a raised protective wall. To the right of the altar is a small harmonium .
Old church records tell that in 1779 the mother of the Niendorfer landlord Calsow was buried in front of the altar. There was then a dispute with the parish about the non-payment of the cemetery fee. As a tenant, he considered the place in front of the altar and not in the cemetery to be appropriate for his mother without paying any fees. Because the burial did not take place in the cemetery. There was a dispute with the parish and only after a lawsuit did the landlord Calsow pay the cemetery fee.
The gallery on the west wall without organ was separated from the church interior by a glass pane for use as a winter church. The destroyed west gallery dates from 1694.
The current equipment is from the second half of the 20th century. On the occasion of the 750th anniversary of Groß Niendorf, the interior was renovated in summer 2006. The previous renovation took place in 1827.
Bell jar
To the north of the chapel there is a rather idiosyncratic belfry with a bronze bell without an inscription, which was cast in 1878. The previous bell from the Middle Ages was provided with the inscription "help gott unde maria" . In the spring of 2015 a new bell cage was installed and the bell was hung in May 2015.
Parish
The Groß Niendorfer parish has been part of the Mestlin parish since 1994. The pastorate is in Mestlin. The parishes of Kladrum, Mestlin and Techentin with their nine village churches belong to the Parchim provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the North Church .
