Jesendorf village church, 2008

The Protestant village church Jesendorf is a Gothic brick church in Jesendorf in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It belongs to the parish Warin-Bibow-Jesendorf in the Sternberg region of the Wismar Propstei of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Northern Church) .

history

Jesendorf was mentioned for the first time in a document on January 25, 1235 on the occasion of memoirs that Bishop Brunward donated for himself and his predecessor Berno . In 1366 Heyne and Henneke Wulf de Yesendorp were named. Further information from the early Middle Ages is not available about Jesendorf.

A Johann von Bassewitz was mentioned for the first time in 1444 , who together with the goods of Gottschalk von Preen also had shares in Jesendorf. In 1474 Hans and Heinrich von Preen were in Jesendorf. In 1507 Klaus von der Lühe and Jürgen von Fineke appear with the knight's seat in Gresse and Jesendorf was owned by the Lühescher as Pertinenz . In 1576 the estate and the village are owned by the von Fineke family, then the von Vieregge family in Jesendorf until 1638, after which it passed to the district administrator Kurt von Behr . The owners continued to change quite frequently. In 1748 Johann Friedrich Seitz had Jesendorf in his possession, then Drost David Ulrich von Müller , 1796 Johann Christoph Alexander von Könemann, 1798 Peter Christoph Lübcke, 1802 Hofrat Johann Philipp Wilken, 1813 David Erdmann and from 1840 Georg König in the next few years.

Building history

The construction of the Jesendorf church is said to have started before 1330, but further investigations do not date the start of construction before 1338. A small wooden chapel had already stood before that. The end of construction of the church is not known. A legend tells about the building of the church. A war hero, his name is unknown, is said to have built the three churches in Jesendorf, Hohen-Viecheln and Bibow. It started in Jesendorf, and it also got a tower. He had stopped in Bibow, it got smaller and no longer had a tower. The knight of Stralendorf is believed to be the builder, because the coat of arms is present several times in the church.

The construction work must have been interrupted several times and temporarily stopped. The stepped buttresses on the outer longitudinal walls and on the chancel clearly indicate a vaulting of the inner church. The protruding yokes on the walls clearly show that the vaults have not been extended. And the complete painting of the walls was no longer carried out.

During the tenure of Pastor Peter Johann Pobertus, Danish soldiers invaded the church on August 10, 1627 and also stole a letter and a certificate for a donation of 1000 guilders, which Ulrich von Barner auf Schimm had donated to the preacher's chair in Jesendorf in 1614. After 1686, the current church tower was built on field stone foundations. The first tower could have been made of wood, because it is said to have collapsed during a storm and fell into the custodian alley. On January 8, 1703, the church roof was badly damaged by a heavy storm. The patron then gave the church clock and the new pulpit to the community. Many changes had been made to and in the Church during these years. Almost all of the ogival window openings were replaced by baroque box windows.

The first old rectory from 1720 was demolished in 1792 and a new one built. In 1840 the church roof was re-covered and the wall paintings inside were whitewashed. During the tenure of Pastor Christoph Propp in the spring of 1871, the rectory was "cremated by lightning bolts", and the oldest church book, begun in 1686, also burned. The parish was not reoccupied for the time being, because it was probably one of the worst paid in the country. From 1879 to 1954 Jesendorf was looked after from Zurow.

In order to save the Jesendorf church, the Verein zur Rettung der Kirche Jesendorf e. V. The first success was the beginning of the tower renovation in 1993 on July 10, 1993 and the completion of the renovation work in 1995. On February 25, 1995 the external facade renovation and the addition of a sacristy began with the construction of the scaffolding. In 1997 a new wooden beam ceiling was installed. In March 2004 the interior walls were whitewashed by the church building association and the fire brigade. Part of the original painting was whitewashed. At the end of the renovation work in the church, the re-consecration took place on Whit Monday 2004 with Regional Bishop Hermann Beste.

The special features of the last exterior church renovation include:

  • During the roof renovation, due to the demands of the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, the installation of slings on the eaves for the production of the existing building was waived. That is why gutters were built; however, this design is very atypical for village churches.
  • The baroque box windows were replaced by Gothic pointed arch windows . Unfortunately, the execution did not take place according to the still existing and walled-up window on the north facade with the preserved shaped bricks of the center post, reveals and tracery .

Exterior

The church in Jesendorf was probably built in the second half of the 14th century as a flat-roofed hall church with a three-sided end in the brick Gothic style . The transverse rectangular west tower was added around the middle of the 15th century. The field stone walling in the base area continues above a few layers and looks like a decorative ribbon. The gable roof , fitted with a weather valve , had a monk and nun tile roofing . After the tower renovation in 1995, the roof was given a beaver crown tile covering . Both gables of the tower have been given a wooden shed. The four-step west portal is kept simple. The gable roof of the nave was also covered with a beaver crown tile roof.

After the extensive changes to the medieval version of the church that took place between 1686 and 1715, the crown of the wall, the roof and the windows were also renewed. The north and south facades and the choir were given stepped buttresses.

Interior

The interior of the church is a flat-roofed brick hall with partly unplastered, partly plastered and painted white walls. Under the white paint from 1840, baroque wall paintings can be seen in places on the south wall, including that of the Apostle Paul. The inner walls were prepared for a vaulted ceiling, which can be easily recognized by the protruding yokes. It is not yet known why the church was not vaulted. Today's wooden beam ceiling has floorboards and the wooden beams are used as tension beams in the roof structure. Shallow arched niches were cut out below the window zone.

Most of the interior is from the Baroque period.

altar

According to the inscription on the back, the wooden, architecturally structured altarpiece was created in 1716 by the sculptor Heinrich Johann Bülle and the painter Christian Busch from Schwerin on behalf of the patron Cuno Ulrich von Stralendorff and on the intercession of the pastor August Joachim Fersen . The bottom painting shows the institution of Holy Communion, above is the image of the crucifixion, then the burial of Christ and on top is the sculpture of the triumphant Christ. The altarpiece is flanked on the left and right with two apostle figures each. Matthew with the angel, Mark with the lion, Luke with the bull and John with the eagle.

On the altar there is an oak lectern decorated with a rose inlaid with flowers from the post-Reformation period with the indication JS 1580. DW The altar cross is dated to the middle of the 15th century.

The carved altar cabinets were donated by Marius Kiser auf Neperstorf and his wife in 1646.

After extensive restoration work, the altar was consecrated again on October 4, 2003.

Baptism angel

The following should be mentioned about the strange baptismal angel , which was created with the pulpit in 1715. In 1929, Karl Müller, employed as a sexton, found a figure that was difficult to identify, two wings and a sword in the church tower. At home he repaired the figure, carved two new arms and hands, painted the figure and brought it to the church. This new baptismal angel has been hanging over the altar since Christmas 1930. After a free restoration by Wilhelm Clamor from Bad Oeynhausen, it was reattached on May 5, 2000.

pulpit

The baroque pulpit was set according to the inscription on the sound cover in 1615 by the patron Ulrich von Stralendorff. 100 years later, the patron Cuno Ulrich von Stralendorff gave it to the church. A special feature of this pulpit are its numerous carvings with acanthus ornamentation and the pulpit basket painted with biblical scenes. Another renovation took place in 1886. The following inscription can be read on the sound cover: “In 1615 the patronus at that time, Mr. Ulrich v Stralendorff, had the previous Cantzel placed here in honor of God and the churches, and in 1615, just 100 years later, the current patronus, Mr. Cuno Ulrich v Stralendorff, had the same intention this Cantzel donated to the church. Renov. in 1886 Wilh. Reppien painter a Wismar Fritz Langberg painter a Buckow. "

confessional

The confessional is dated to 1649. The inscription reads: "Hans Janek preaches this confessional in 1649." In the upper area he received a crucifixion group from the middle of the 15th century. It originally stood on the north side of the choir and enclosed the Eucharist cabinet built into the wall from the pre-Reformation period, one of the oldest surviving inventory items in the Jesendorf church. Since the interior renovation in 1904, the confessional has stood on the south side of the choir and is now used as a sacristy .

Crescent Madonna and carved relief

A fragmentary crescent Madonna with remains of paint was made at the end of the 15th century. A carved relief from the first half of the 15th century shows the entombment of Christ. The current location is not mentioned.

organ

The curved prospect of the Kersten organ from 1780 houses an organ with five registers on a manual and pedal, which Karl Lötzerich designed in 1972 for the Rautenbergsaal in Hamburg-St. Georg and consecrated on May 28, 2000. The purchase was made through a very generous donation from Christoph von Barner. The old organ located in the Organ Museum in Malchow . The court organ builder Carl Börger is said to have made changes as early as 1904 .

Bells

Two bells used to hang in the church tower. The large bell with a diameter of 1.15 meters and the tone f 1 +11 was cast in 1726 by Lorenz Strahlborn from Lübeck under the patronage of Cuno Ulrich von Stralendorff and the jurists Friedrich Kaetelhän and Friedrich Geroh.

The smaller, 0.93 meter diameter bell donated by Lieutenant Colonel von Bassewitz from Schimm was cast in 1854 by PB Hausbrandt from Wismar. It had the inscription: Henriette Sophie 1854. Cast by the court bell caster VM Hausbrandt in Wismar. It was melted down for war purposes in 1917. The previous bell from 1798 had the patron Levin Joachim von Barner cast at the time of Pastor Johann Leonhard Streunsee. Two bells have been hanging in the church tower again since 1998. The smaller bell was donated in 1998 by Hans Hermann Tersteegen, the eldest son of the former landowner of Nepersdorf.

The names of Joachim Friedrich von Stralendorff as patron, Pastor Augustus Joachim Fersen and carpenter Diedrich Nold can be read in an incised inscription on the belfry . A wrought-iron clock tower, which the patron gave to the church after a severe storm in 1703, is also preserved.

Atonement stone

In the new sacristy, to the right of the door to the interior of the church, there is a 2.40 m high and 0.60 m wide atonement stone made of Gotland shell limestone. At the top it shows the crucified Christ in relief on a recessed surface , below a kneeling adorant with a rising banner and an inclined coat of arms . It is said to be the person who died and there is a Gothic inscription running around it that is difficult to decipher today. The reverse also shows the crucifix in relief.

The atonement stone, which is typical of northern Germany, originally stood two kilometers north of Jesendorf on the road to Schimm . On June 2, 1409, Wismar's mayor Nikolaus Vinke is said to have been slain by robber knights on this trade route while Hanseatic merchants were passing through.

The atonement stone was brought to the Museum Dorf Mecklenburg by the monument protection authorities in 1985 because of aggressive environmental influences and acid rain. In December 1995 it was transferred to the Wismar Museum, where it was placed in the hallway of the Schabbelhaus . The stone broke during the transport. On July 2, 2005, it was installed at its current location in the sacristy.

At the old location on the road to Schimm there is now a wooden replica with the inscription: Sühnestein / Nicolaua / Vinke / 1409 / Original in the museum.

Churchyard

The original cemetery wall made of field stones was built as early as 1700. The first expansion took place in 1893, while the original cemetery wall was retained. Except for the three historical tombs, the cemetery is in a well-tended condition. These are the hereditary funeral of the von Bassewitz families on Schimm, Tarzow and Schönhof from 1801, the hereditary funeral of the von Plessen families on Nepersdorf around 1860 and the hereditary funeral of the Troll family from 1918.
