Holzendorf village church

The Holzendorf village church is a small brick church in the Holzendorf district of the Kuhlen-Wendorf municipality in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

history

In 1235, Bishop Brunward von Schwerin awarded ten hooves in the village of Holtzendorff (Holzendorf) to the Rühn monastery . The knight Thetlev von Gadebusch had given him this as a fief . Further documents, including those for the foundation and endowment of the church, are not available. Legend has it that the church in Holzendorf, along with the churches in Hohen Viecheln , Bibow , Wamckow , Herzberg , Müsselmow and Brüel, was founded and endowed by Helmold von Plesse , who came to Mecklenburg as Heinrich the Lion's ministerial and military leader .

In 1652 Müsselmow gave up his church patronage together with Wendorf and was merged with Holzendorf. In 1672 a comparison was made between the von Plessen auf Müsselmow families and the von Schack auf Wendorf families , who at times also held the parish in Holzendorf. 1707 Müsselmow separated from Holzendorf, but came back to the Holzendorfer parish in 1739. In 1776 a visit to the religious buildings took place in Holzendorf.

At the time of von Plessen, Holzendorf was a by-product of Müsselmow. From 1790 both goods came to the court hunter Gideon Hellmuth Ernst von Hopffgarten on Gustävel . Between 1799 and 1801 there were several lawsuits surrounding the feudal estates Müsselmow and Holzendorf in the Crivitz office. In 1810 the Royal Prussian Rittmeister in the Wolky Hussar Regiment, Ferdinand von Raven and Müsselmow, also bought Holzendorf. From 1813 to 1830 he was head of the monastery in Dobbertin monastery .

Building history

Northeast view

Like the church in Müsselmow , the one in Holzendorf is said to have been founded by Helmold von Plessen. Located on a hill, the church is said to have been built at the end of the 15th century. Since it was very small, a choir was added to the east side of the simple, unadorned church building in 1855.

Exterior

The small, single-nave brick church consists of a medieval nave with two-foot thick masonry and stepped buttresses , a neo-Gothic choir, and a west tower the same width as the nave. The windows of the church in the nave and tower have been changed in a neo-Gothic style. The south portal, which is now walled up, appears originally Gothic. The sound hatches of the tower suggest a design in the 17th or 18th century, although segmental arched windows were also built in the Middle Ages .

The not very high pyramidal roof of the tower and the roofs of the nave and choir are covered with plain tiles.

Interior

inner space
altar
Pulpit and font
organ
Bell from 1707

The interior of the Holzendorfer church with its flat wooden beam ceiling was until the restoration around 1850 without any decoration, defaced and very dilapidated… . Four clay statues hung on the north wall depicting Christ as shepherd and preacher and the two evangelists Mark and John. Two are left.

Altar and pulpit

Before 1840 the pulpit was still above the altar in the straight altar wall. An angel and a wood-carved image of the Virgin were remnants of the pre-Reformation period. Today's altarpiece Christ in Gethsemane was painted in 1878 by Karl Christian Andreae from Dresden. The altar is surrounded by a carved grille.

The pulpit from the first half of the 17th century was a gift from the patron Hellmuth von Plessen auf Müsselmow.

The concrete font is a modern ingredient.

organ

The organ built in the west gallery with manual and attached pedal without its own register (I / AP / 4) was created in 1861 by the Schwerin organ builder Friedrich Friese III . The last restoration took place in 2006 by the organ builder Andreas Arnold from Plau am See.

Bells

Schlie described two bells in Volume 3 of the Art and History Monuments of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin . The larger one bears the inscription Patron Klaus Christoph von Schack and Pastor Diederich Schöfeldt and was cast by Siebenbaum in Schwerin in 1707. The small one was cast by the court bell founder Peter Martin Hausbrandt in Wismar in 1855. As early as 1652, a bell is said to have been cast by the patron Erneke von Schack.

Only the bell from 1707 remains.

Parish
