The Kirch Kogel village church is a listed building from the 13th century in Kirch Kogel , a district of the Reimershagen community in the Rostock district . It is a church of the parish Lohmen of the parish of Mecklenburg in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Northern Church) .

history

The church village of Kirch Kogel was first mentioned on March 31, 1303. In 1435 the Dobbertin monastery acquired the village.

When the ruling Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Heinrich IV. , Gave the Provest Mathias von Weltzin of the Dobbertin Monastery the patronage of Kirch Kogel on October 18, 1440, the church at Kerk Kowalk, evidenced in the Bailiwick of Cracow, was expressly spoken of . 1445 belonged to the parish church Kogel next to a desolate designated Wendisch Kogel (now Rum Kogel) nor the parishioners villages Reimershagen , Suckwitz and the heath villages Kleesten and Jellen . There was a branch chapel in Suckwitz , which was no longer mentioned after the 17th century.

On July 23, 1453, Duke Heinrich gave the Dobbertiner provost Nicolaus Behringer and the monastery convent the loan from the church at Kerk Kowalk, just as his godly forefathers Matthias Weltzin gave.

From September 19 to September 29, 1557, the patronage churches Mestlin , Kogel, Lohmen and Demen of the Dobbertin monastery were also visited . It still looked sad in the churches. Nicolaus Vogelsang, a sexton before 1557 and not a student , was a pastor in Kogel. In the visitation protocol it is noted: ... this is a capable and talented person who has followed up on studies and was able to answer well. He knew the catechism , understood the doctrine of the faith, had read the German books diligently and knew how to comfort and preach ...

From 1589 the tailor Jacob Jacobs was also sexton of the Kogel church. In the visitation protocol of October 10, 1649 it is noted that the church at Kogel was combined with Lohmen according to Vacanz. The local pastor Vincentus Lucow had to administer the parish with. The monastery wanted to let the parish go completely, but the Suckwitz owner Joachim von Winterfeld , an old war hero, felt betrayed. At Christmas 1652 he rode to Dobbertin and made so much noise there that the monastery administration gave the Kossaten field in Rum Kogel with both hands to improve the parish.

After the Thirty Years' War , Pastor Georg Schwartz found a desert in Kogel in 1653 and the church was almost a pile of stones. In the visitation protocol of 1649, the following is noted: Kirchengebewd zu Kogelck is supposed to be a big gestewde and the choir is supposed to be vaulted, a perch above the church has completely collapsed, and the tach otherwise very dull. The tower is made of high masonry, very tachless at the top, the bell stool stuck around it, in which 2 large bells, a third stolen from it. And first the tach above the choir and the tower should be repaired so that the bells don't fall down, Joachim von Winterfeld offers to give up a lot.

The service was therefore held under the mighty linden tree in the churchyard, where the granite font from the 13th century also stood. The service under the linden tree, which broke off after a storm on October 18, 1967, was not only talked about in the Dobbertin monastery. At that time, in addition to Kirch Kogel, Suckwitz, Reimershagen, Jellen, Kleesten, the Rum Kogel dairy and Mühle zu Suckwitz also belonged to the parish. At the state parliament on March 13, 1666 in Rostock, a corpse mischief was debated in Kirch Kogel : the Sacritey in the church at Kowalke, which belongs to the Closter Dobbertin quoad jus Patronatus, was resolved to write to E. Grabow zu Suckvitz about the in the Sacristey to remonstrate the mischief standing corpses, and to indicate to him that if he did not bring the corpses out within 6 weeks and would put them down in a place in the church to be assigned to him, the District Administrator Jasmund would be committed to have the corpses brought out, whichever letter the 10th April was discharged on the same.

In 1767 Mr. von Grabow concluded a long lease on Suckwitz for the Kirch Kogeler parish lands. During the preacher's vacancy in Kirch Kogel between 1709 and 1715, the tenants in Jellen, Kleesten, Suckwitz and Reimershagen had to do priestly tours. According to the account book of the monastery office in 1857 and 1858, but also in 1863, the Dobbertiner master mason Retzloff, the carpenter Dreyer, the carpenters Larisch and Petrow, the blacksmith Hagen and the locksmith Brandt carried out repair work on the church, inside the church and on the parish and Sexton's house through. When the church windows were renewed in 1884, the painted round pictures were removed.

In a severe storm on October 18, 1979, the 700-year-old fallen linden tree severely damaged the roof of the choir. In 1992 the choir was in danger of collapsing and was closed because the cracks in the vault were already eight centimeters wide and the east gable was sloping. The structural securing work on the vaults and the roof structure on the choir lasted until 1994. The saddle roofs of the choir and nave were re-covered with plain tile roofing.

During restoration work in the choir area, extensive polychrome paintwork from the Gothic construction phase became visible in 1994.

Building description

East pediment of the church

The church with its cemetery forms the center of the village and is protected by the old trees with the renewed field stone wall. Between the various tombstones, crosses and bars there is also a tombstone with the inscription: Friderica, Henrietta, Sophia geb. Lierow married (Johann Matthias) Zickermann next to the bones of their newborn son. She was born (September 1st, 1780) and died in childbirth on April 18th, 1805. The righteous souls are in God's hands and no torment touches them at the book of wisdom.

Exterior

The rectangular church building consists of a square field stone choir from the second half of the 13th century. The flat-roofed, arched nave with the brick west tower built into the western gable roof and a tent roof were built at the end of the 13th or beginning of the 14th century. Above the main portal in the west wall of the tower there is a bricked-up pointed arch window. The multi-tiered walls once illuminated the nave from the west.

The east gable made of field stones has a group of three windows with round arched windows made of diamond glass . The brick gable above is decorated with a Latin cross and 16 slender pointed arches in plaster panels above the German ribbon . The buttresses, which were subsequently added at both corners and stepped at an angle, indicate structural damage in the vault of the choir that occurred early on. Both sides of the choir have narrow pointed arch windows, in pairs with central posts made of semicircular shaped stones. The wider, three-part, pointed arched windows in the nave were changed in the 19th century.

The church had several extensions, of which only the southern one remained. Two old portals on the south side are walled up. The southern chapel extension is made of brick with pointed arched windows, a pointed arched door and pointed arches in the gable. The incised sundial with Roman numerals is probably from the 14th century. In 1528 Jürgen and Ernst von Grabow built a burial chapel on the north side of the church in Suckwitz. It was still there at the end of the 19th century and was inscribed F - G - 1764.

In 1654, the Dobbertiner prioress Anna Sophia von Scharffenberg, who came to the monastery at the age of twelve, campaigned for the repair of the church, as the Collekten book for charitable gifts from 1663 testifies. After a collection in all party churches of the Dobbertin monastery office from 1663, the repair work on the church was continued during the tenure of Pastor Joachim Rossow in 1703. The bricks and the lime came from the nearby Lähnwitz brick factory.

Interior

The interior of the church is kept quite simple. The nave and the choir are separated by a triumphal arch . The choir has an eight-part, domed rib vault from the second half of the 13th century. The vault caps were decorated with decorative plant paintings and angel fragments in the 15th century. There are also murals and consecration crosses under the whitewash on the walls in the nave. Above the triumphal arch, writing could be detected in a niche. The longer nave has a flat, painted wooden beam ceiling, but was originally designed for two vaulted bays.

The grave slabs of Pastor Johann Friedrich Schröder, b. December 27, 1685, d. March 4, 1715, 5 years preacher zu Kogel and pastor Karl Leopold Groth, b. 1717, d. 1798.

Also noteworthy is the artfully made wheel chandelier, probably the work of a village master blacksmith.

The post-medieval furnishings also include two chair cheeks with carved coats of arms from 1572 and the baroque box stalls from 1671. The gray-painted chairs with their simple cheeks ending in circular disks belong to the church renovation that took place around 1690. In the southern area on the organ gallery there is a gray-painted patronage box with simple painted friezes .

Baptismal font

The oldest piece of equipment in the church is the reddish granite fountain from the time before 1160 , which has been standing in the chancel on the right since 1994. It was always in the churchyard south of the vestibule by the choir until it was hit by the fallen linden tree on October 18, 1979 during a storm has been.

The red marks under the upper edge and the mounting holes for a cover are an indication of the age. Their shape is similar to that of the baptismal font in the Friedland church . Here the cylinder tapers upwards, its height is 104 cm, the width 94 cm, the baptismal bowl is 72 cm wide and 29 cm deep. The fifth is again used for baptisms.

altar

The late Gothic carved altar with the Twelve Apostles in two rows one above the other in the shrine and wings dates from the second quarter of the 15th century. It was renovated in 1685 on behalf of the Dobbertiner monastery captain Christoph Friedrich von Jasmund. In a restoration carried out in 1883 , the radiant wreath Madonna originally located in the triptych , the central section, was removed and replaced by a crucifix with eight surrounding angels. The work was carried out by the sculptor Adolph Siegfried , the supervision was carried out by the building officer Georg Daniel . Finally writes that the restoration ... Although with good will, but also with great lack of understanding ... was performed. The predella shows an oil painting with the Lord's Supper.

On the back of the wings are four very simple passion paintings, probably made at the end of the 17th century: Crucifixion, Gethsemane, Resurrection and Flagellation. An older inscription had been renewed on the back wall of the altar. It reads: ANNO 1685 IN OCTOBER DIS ALTAR HAS BEEN RENOVIRED ... WETZIEN HAS PATRONATE OF THE CHURCH. MASTER OF THE MONASTERY LANDRATH CHRISTOPH FRIEDR V. JASMUND. PASTOR JOACHIM ROSSO. VIUS. MASTER KITCHEN AREND KALSOW.

The Oberkirchenrat of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mecklenburg in Schwerin had ordered on April 27, 1951 that the figure of Mary with child and a crucifix, which was removed from the center shrine of the altar in 1883 with great lack of understanding, should be replaced with a crucifix, found again in 1950 on the rectory floor and in the Confirmation hall, taken there because of the risk of damage and taken into safekeeping by Pastor Müller personally, now to be restored and put in the altar. After 30 years, the Madonna with the child arrived in the Schwerin workshop of the Institute for Monument Preservation, was restored there and installed on November 8, 1984 by the chief curator Johannes Voss in the parish room of the rectory in Kirch Kogel.

pulpit

The simple wooden pulpit in the Renaissance style was made in 1671. The following names have been carved into the upper edge of the side panels: ERTMANN SCHARPINCK. CHRISTOFFER GANS 1671. ERNST KARNATZ. JOHAN WOLDENBARCH. MARTEN TAM 1671. PETER WOLDENBARCH. BARTEL LANCKHOF. HANS LALE 1671.

organ

According to the church inventory of the superintendent of Güstrow from 1811, Kirch Kogel did not have an organ at that time . To improve the service, Pastor Ebeling asked the monastery rulers in 1852 to buy an organ. Despite contacting the organ factory N & Evers a Paris rue Chateau dean in Paris, an organ was not used due to high costs and a lack of donations. At the Landtag zu Sternberg on November 22nd, 1871, the committee recommended that the monastery chiefs have an organ installed in their monastery patronage church. On February 27, 1872, the monastery captain Christian Joachim Hugo Karl Graf von Bernstorff was able to conclude a contract with the Wittstock organ builder Friedrich Hermann Lütkemüller to build an organ for 525 thalers. The parapet organ was accepted on September 10, 1872 by Pastor Erdmann. The neo-Gothic five-part prospectus with a stepped gable and a game table on the right stands on the west gallery. The builder Reinke provided the design.

In 1996 the organ builder Friedel Kampherm & Steinecke from Verl carried out a comprehensive restoration. The organ with mechanical slider drawers has seven stops on a manual and a permanently attached pedal . The disposition is as follows:

I Manual C – d 3
Principal 8th'
Gedact 8th'
Salicional 8th'
Praestant 4 ′
Flute 4 ′
Octave 2 ′
Pedal C – c 1
Sub bass 16 ′

Bell jar

There were once three bells in the church tower . The two larger ones were cast in 1839 by FC Haack in Rostock. Today only a bronze bell, cast in 1612, is left. She wears a ribbon of inscriptions adorned with animal masks.

Rectory

Rectory

The rectory north of the church is laid out in a similar way to an estate or farm, as the rectory was mostly linked to agriculture. The restored rectory, built from 1754 to 1755 in half-timbered houses, has remained largely unchanged in its original structure. The bricks came from the monastery's own brick factory in Lähnwitz. According to the account book of the monastery office, the last craftsman's bills were paid for the construction of the Kogel parish and widow's house in 1757. The former parish garden with old fruit trees also belongs to the rectory with the small half-timbered barn covered with reeds. When Gustav Ebeling, the son of the Goldberg spice merchant, was elected preacher on April 30, 1831 in Kirch Kogel, all the parishioners from Suckwitz, the brickworks and mill, from Jellen, Schwinz, Kleesten and Rum Kogel were also present. In 1884 Rector Hense from Grabow took over the pastor's position.

Today the parsonage belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mecklenburg and is used as a “self-catering home” from spring to autumn for set-up times and by leisure groups.

Since the late 1970s, young people and young adults with a church background have been meeting to experience a weekend together with music and workshops in various thematic areas. In the years around 2002/03 the meeting, which had become a kind of festival, attracted more than 1000 participants.
