Hohen Pritz village church
The village church Hohen Pritz is a medieval stone church in Hohen Pritz in the northeast of the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
history
Hohen Pritz was mentioned in a document in 1256 as Pritutsen , when Prince Pribislaw II von Parchim-Richenberg gave his chaplain Jordan the parish of Wamckow with the daughter church Hohen Pritz. In 1346 an Iwan von Below is said to have lived in Hohen Pritz Pritzen Maiori . From the end of the 16th century to the middle of the 17th century, the von Bülow were in the village, followed by Johann Lüder von Dessin .
After seven years of vacancy and temporary help from the Mestlin pastors, David Schösser from Lübeck came to Hohen Pritz as pastor in 1665. After just two years, he was suspended from office and in 1669 dismissed for being insubordinate . Then he was a schoolmaster in Goldberg . During his term of office, on July 28, 1668, a pathetic incident occurred in Hohen Pritz. During the harvest, the mower Hans Schünecke had cut a Swede to death with a scythe. For this godless act , Schünecke was judged with the sword on August 11, 1668 and buried on the cemetery wall without singing or sound .
In 1698 the royal Danish court master Klaus Hartwig received from Parkentin the feudal letter about Hohen Pritz, Bolz , Ruchow , Dinnies and Schlowe . In 1728, von Parkentin signed a ten-year contract with the glassworks master Christian Friedrich Gundlach to set up a glassworks near Hohen Pritz.
On June 29, 1730, Jobst Hinrich von Bülow on Woserin had the glassworks near Hohen Pritz attacked as a provisional agent for the Dobbertin monastery . There was violence that degenerated into the famous glass war . In 1766 the village belonged to the ducal chamber and from 1849 to the grand ducal estates.
According to the visitation protocol from 1542, the parish had a checkered history up until the Reformation. Over the centuries, responsibilities have changed here particularly often. In the Middle Ages, separated from the Wamckow Church, it was a branch church of Groß Niendorf . 1670–1706 the church was desolate, had no preacher and stood empty. Then she came back to Wamckow . In 1750 the parishes of Wamckow, Hohen Pritz and Groß Niendorf merged with the Church of Prestin .
When Wamckow became independent again in 1773, Hohen Pritz came to the parish in Demen , where she stayed until 1923. From this year until today the parish of Hohen Pritz belongs to the Mestlin parish.
Building history
Exterior
The church with its massive west tower is a simple rectangular field stone building with a smoothly closing east gable from the 13th century. The roof structure over the nave with a scissor construction in hand-split rafters was erected around 1230. Until 1817 the gable roof still had a monk and nun tile covering.
The rectangular church tower with its 2.50 meter thick walls and the hipped roof was added to the west side of the church around 1515. For the bell storey, two sound hatches were installed on the north and south sides of the tower, and only one hatch on the west side. Above that there are three walled oculinic niches as decorative elements , which should be interpreted as eyes.
To the left and right of the ogival entrance portal there are two to three centimeter rounds scraped into the monastery format tiles. According to tradition, in the 14th century the scraped stone flour is said to have served wound-wounds as a magic remedy against hexes and curses in the case of illness. The three ogival window openings on the north and south façades only allow little light to enter the church interior. On the 1.50 meter thick field stone wall of the east gable, six staggered panels in brick masonry have been executed as a toothed frieze above the German band . A round-arched niche is located just below the ogival central window, slightly above the gable is loosened up by two oculine niches as round eyes. In 1744 the tower was re-covered with wooden shingles. After several storm damage, extensive repairs were made to the church roof and masonry in 1824–1828 by the Crivitz master mason Schwarz. In 1827, the church windows dented by the storm also had to be replaced. Further repairs were necessary in 1862 and 1880. In 1928 the entire church roof was covered with plain tiles, as noted on an inscription in the roof structure. In 1946 and 1947 the storm damage could not be repaired due to missing glass and missing roof tiles. At the end of 1975 a hurricane destroyed large parts of the church roof. Repair work did not begin until five years later. After a three-year legal dispute with the roofer, the complete new roofing was carried out in August 1981 with the gray concrete roof tiles that are still in existence today. All the beaver tail tiles that were still usable disappeared without a trace.
For years now, the structural damage to the masonry as well as the moisture damage to the roof structure and the wooden beam ceiling have been getting worse . There are strong cracks on the east gable and on the tower. The roof structure has been renewed since August 2016 and the gable roof is covered with new roof tiles.
Interior
The rectangular church interior, 15.50 meters long and 9.25 meters wide, with its flat wooden beam ceiling, has a ceiling height of five meters.
The floor was laid in 1834 with 1500 bricks, which are still preserved today. After the neo-Gothic interior, the church was consecrated again on October 23, 1887. The wooden furnishings, such as the chairs, the doors, the organ loft , the altar, the sacristy and the pulpit still date from this time . The craftsmen are not known. In 1951 the interior of the church was repainted. Due to the storm damage that had not been repaired since 1976, parts of the rotten wooden ceiling collapsed in 1986. In 1987 the provisional suspended ceiling that still exists today was installed. The church received a power connection for the first time and the interior received seven electric lamps and ten radiators from old Reichsbahn wagons.
The altar consists of a simple wall with a large painted cross. For the 1901 purchased by Franz Reinecke from Hannover and in the years missing font concerned 1994 Pastor Jens Krause of a household today's baptismal font. It was used there as a flower pot.
organ
The organ (I / AP / 4) was built in 1894 by the organ builder Julius (Ludwig Ernst Wilhelm) Schwarz from Rostock and inaugurated on Whit Sunday 1894.
In 1949 the damaged organ was repaired. For years the Schwarz organ has been in a completely desolate condition and is not playable. As a replacement, there is a 19th century harmonium from Canada.
Bells
The belfry with the substructure on the second tower floor was built after 1699. The oak beams were cut that year. Two bells hung in the tower . The larger one had no inscription, but two foundry marks. A bell had to be delivered during the First World War. The new casting was carried out in 1926 by the Erfurt master Stoermer. The inscription reads:
Lost in war, born in time of need, glory to God on high .
The financially weak parish was months behind with the due payment of the new bell. 1943, a decreased as not valuable classified bell (26.04.19 A) by the Kreishandwerkerschaft the Reichsstelle for metals for military purposes and in Hamburg on the bell cemetery melted. This was cast in 1852 by Peter Martin Hausbrandt in Wismar .
The bell, cast by the Rostock bell caster Johann Valentin Schultz in 1776 for the Mestlin church, came from Mestlin to Hohen Pritz in 1989. Formerly without an inscription or year, it got a strong crack when the bell rang in Mestlin, lost its sound and was transported to Rostock to be cast and back by Mestlin farmers.
The inscription reads:
Provisional Mr APM von Flotow on Preetz, Mr AF von Raven on Golchen, Closter captain Mr HIC von Krakevitz on Briggow, kitchen master CFF Friese
