The Protestant village church Kambs in the Kambs district of Vorbeck is an originally Gothic, later changed brick church in the Rostock district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It belongs to the Schwaan parish in the church region of Güstrow in the Rostock provost of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Northern Church) .

History and architecture

The oldest parts of the village church of Kambs are the rectangular choir and the sacristy attached to the north, which were dendrochronologically dated to 1289. Both components are arched with ribbon ribs. The north wall of the choir and the lower part of the sacristy are made of field stone masonry.

The medieval parts are structured on the outside by stair friezes and corner pilasters. In the east gable, two rows of pointed arches are arranged above a serrated frieze . On the south side a portal profiled with round bars is built into the late Gothic vestibule from around 1490 with a stepped gable . The window frames are decorated with quarter bars.

A neo-Gothic flat-roofed nave by Theodor Krüger from 1862/63 forms the main room of the church. The originally neo-Gothic tower from 1857/68 was partially demolished around 1970 due to damage caused by settlement and replaced by today's simple tower with a pyramid roof.

Furnishing

The main piece of equipment is a high quality late Gothic carved altar from around 1500. In the shrine an apocalyptic Madonna is depicted, which is flanked by apostles and saints in two rows in the shrine and in the wings. On the back of the wing, Christ in Gethsemane and the Capture as well as Christ before Pilate and the crowning of thorns are shown as paintings. A pastor's painting has been preserved from the 18th century.

The late Gothic pulpit from the Kambs church is the oldest example of a village church pulpit and is kept in the State Museum Schwerin / Ludwigslust / Güstrow . Today's neo-Gothic pulpit is decorated on the sound cover with a structure made of radial buttresses in wood carving. An octagonal baptism, also neo-Gothic, is placed in the area of ​​the triumphal arch .

The organ is a work by the Sauer company from 1971 with six registers on a manual and pedal .

The ringing is a bell from around 1400, which is tuned to the tone g 1 +7.
