The Protestant village church Hornstorf is a Gothic church in the east of the district of Northwest Mecklenburg in the Wismar provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .

history

The parish village Hornstorf in certificates also Hornstorp, Hornistorp, Hornetorp and Hornestorpe written, is probably founded by the Horn family. We find their names around 1324 in the seaside town of Wismar , located six kilometers to the west . Hornstorf belonged to the Schwerin diocese in the Middle Ages and probably to its closest archdeaconate Bützow . But already in 1282 a Nanno de Crukoywe (Krukowe) was named with property and rights in Hornstorf. At that time he sold to Gebert von Warendorf four hooves for the hospitals of the Holy Spirit and St. Jakob in Wismar, which Prince Heinrich of Mecklenburg took over on June 6, 1290 . Other Wismar citizens also had property and rights in Hornstorf. Among them were Heinrich Krönke in 1336, Berthold Kalsow in 1366 and Henning Wulf in 1388. But as early as 1366, the first small farmers Tydeke and Eghard Enghelkens settled in Hornstorf. In 1404 the von Negendank sold lease and bede to Henneke von Bassewitz and his heirs. In 1609 there were disputes with von Stralendorff , who had been on the neighboring estates since 1431. Around 1689 the von Fersen family came into possession of Hornstorf. In 1710 the entire property belonged to the von Wrangel families , which Colonel Karl Friedrich von Wrangel bought in 1691. The von Both families came in the middle of the 18th century and had Hornstorf in their possession for almost 100 years. From 1849 the von der Lühe owned in Hornstorf, Rohlstorf and Kalsow .

Building history

The Hornstorf church was first mentioned on December 10, 1327 in a spiritual dispute. However, it could have been founded earlier. According to the Wismar wine register from 1479, she takes part in the wine deliveries that the Ratskeller took over from 1266 on the basis of the old foundation of Prince Heinrich's the Pilgrim from 1266 with three little rooms a year. At that time, all the churches in the vicinity of Wismar took part in the pious foundation of bread and wine, which Prince Heinrich zu Mecklenburg founded on January 5, 1266 for a large number of places of worship from the rise of the mill at Altwismar. But no proof of the age of the church could be derived from this. On February 28, 1333, Johann Stolteer notarized the lease of six acres from his parish priest to Johann and Arnold Witte in Wismar as a pleban in Hornstorf. After the end of the Thirty Years' War Christian Köppen wrote in the church book on the first Sunday of Advent when he took office as pastor in 1650: “... but nothing more was found in the rectory than a long bench in the room, no cattle, no grain, not even none sprinkled seeds have been delivered to me. Just a little straw, about a good load and two loads of hay. When I arrived I found the church in a bad state, there were few chairs in it, all the stones were out of it and you had to walk in the sand. The bells were all knocked out of the tower and the pieces were carried away by the soldiers, a small bell from a Schippundt was brought back in by the rulers. Before my time, however, it was completely torn from one another and was very annoyed with listening to the bell, I looked for funds before, had the same poured over, but because the parish could not buy enough and impoverished funds ... "

The rectory was built in 1893.

Exterior

The brick building was erected over a low field stone foundation. In the 15th century, the cross-vaulted sacristy was added to the north side of the three-bay hall building with a five-eighth choir closure and stepped buttresses and a vestibule was added to the south side. The decoration of the south vestibule with the dazzling rosette, the tracery frieze and a sculptural Greek cross placed on the wall is particularly elaborate. Both have a brick decor, which takes up the model of the south porch of the Wismar Nikolaikirche in a simplified manner . The youngest building was built in the second half of the 15th century, the west tower, which is square in plan, with bi-ore windows on the top floor with its hipped roof.

Interior

Inside the church, the ribbed vaults are supported by consoles that are designed as mask heads. The top floor of the south vestibule is open to the ship with a segmented arch. In 1910 remains of figural vault paintings from the period before 1400 were uncovered in the choir room, depicting a Deesis , the namesake of the church, St. Lawrence and the crucifixion. The vegetable painting on the nave vaults is medieval in origin, but was strongly renewed in 1910. The equipment is relatively modest. After war damage in 1945, only a carved crucifix from the 15th century and two tombstones from the 14th century remain from medieval times.

pulpit

The pulpit with basket from 1651, richly carved in Renaissance style, is adorned with paintings on the staircase, of which representations of Moses and Aaron have survived. The sound cover was added in 1663. A carved crucifix dates from the middle of the 15th century. The font and the gallery date from the 19th century. A large number of Communion implements (chalices, godparents from the beginning of the 15th century and a box from 1746) as well as candlesticks and baptismal font complement the liturgical furnishings.

organ

The single-manual organ was originally built in 1886 by Friedrich Friese (III) for the village church in Müsselmow and has five registers with an attached pedal . In 1951 it was dismantled in Müsselmow, then installed in the New Church in Wismar and moved to Hornstorf in 1965.

Stained glass

Originally all three choir windows (I, n II and s II according to the CVMA naming system ), the choir's glass painting was carried out in 1910 by Rudolf Carl Koenigsberg in Schwerin. The choir window I shows two architectural canopies resting on leaf brackets with pinnacles and the scene of the blessing of children by Christ. In the foreground are two women who have their children blessed by the Lord, in the background two disciples who are turning away. It is about black solder painting on antique glasses with partial use of enamel colors and silver yellow. In 1998, the Bibernick glazier from Wismar in cooperation with the east glazier from Schwerin carried out a restoration overhaul while preserving the original lead network .

Bell jar

The small bell with a diameter of 1.035 m was cast in 1878 by the court bell caster Johann Carl Eduard Albrecht in Wismar from captured French guns from 1870/71 and bears the name of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II. It was tuned to the tone f 1 +7 and is still there . The larger bell, which was also cast by Albrecht in 1878, was melted down during the First World War. According to the church visitation protocol from 1811, there were still two old bronze bells that were cast by Adam Danckwart in Wismar in 1652 and that went off in the 19th century.

Crypt and tombstones

Two grave slabs date from the 14th century. Due to its long and narrow shape, also narrower at the foot end than at the head end, the corpse stone with the Johanniterkreuz finds special mention. The second stone was assigned to the pleban Johannes Stolteer of 1333, but this is questioned. On the north side of the church there is a monumental granite crypt, which was probably created by the von der Lühe family , who took over the Hornstorf estate in 1849 and had to sell it again in 1929.
