Mummendorf village church
The village church of Kirch Mummendorf is an early Gothic brick church of the transition style from Romanesque to Gothic in Kirch Mummendorf in the municipality of Stepenitztal . Today it belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran parish Roggenstorf in the Wismar provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .
history
The church was first mentioned in the Ratzeburg tithe register in 1230 and was subordinated to the cathedral provost in Ratzeburg as a ban by the Ratzeburg bishop Ludolph I from 1237 to compensate for legal losses in connection with the establishment of the Rehna monastery. Roggenstorf initially also belonged to the parish of Mummendorf, but it became an independent parish between 1318 and 1335. Also Börzow already in 1298 an independent parish. The Mummendorfer Church was also honored by Heinrich the Pilgrim's wine donation in 1266. The parish comprised areas on both sides of the Stepenitz and thus from both parts of Mecklenburg: the villages of Kirch Mummendorf, Hof Mummendorf, Roxin, Mallentin , Tramm (today the municipality of Roggenstorf) and Hanstorf / Benediktenwerk and on the other side of the Stepenitz, over which one had its own Kirchstieg leads the farmers Papenhusen, Rüschenbeck and Rodenberg in the Ratzeburg region .
Building history
The church is a brick building from the second half of the 13th century. It consists of the transversely rectangular church tower, nave and the caste choir typical of Mecklenburg's construction period with attached northern sacristy , which is the oldest part of the church if the building history is unclear. All structures (including the tower) are covered with gable roofs, the roofs of which run in a west-east direction. Striking Romanesque design elements are the Romanesque pilaster strips and arched friezes on the gable of the choir. Inside the choir there are early Gothic, dome-shaped cross vaults with ribbon ribs over the consoles. The wide nave of the Mummendorfer Church, on the other hand, has a flat ceiling with vaults, originally perhaps with two aisles.
The church has been rebuilt and restored many times. During a major renovation from 1964 to 1969, the ogival window slots in the main nave were restored. The galleries were shortened, the chancel redesigned and the east window was given a concrete glass window by Lothar Mannewitz . The church was rededicated on June 22, 1969.
Furnishing
The furnishings included the baroque altar from 1749, which received a painted crucifix by Theodor Fischer-Poisson around 1860 and was replaced by a Gothic crucifix that previously hung on one of the galleries when the church was renovated in the 1960s. The pulpit with carved figures comes from the late Renaissance second half of the 17th century. On the parapet there are niche figures of Salvator mundi and the apostles Andreas , Paulus , Peter and Johannes . In addition to the baptism from the 17th century with a brass bowl as an insert, the Gothic baptismal font made of granite has also been preserved. Two pewter candlesticks from 1729 were stolen in 1992.
organ
In 1794, the Dobbertiner organ builder Heinrich Schmidt implemented a house organ from Lübeck.
Today's organ (I / P / 5 + 1T) with the classicist prospect from 1846/1854 is the work of the organ builder Friedrich Friese II with the help of his son Friedrich Friese III . It was restored in 1935 by Marcus Runge and most recently in 1999.
Bells
According to Friedrich Schlie , the church had three bells in 1898: The largest bell was cast in 1730 by the Lübeck council founder Laurentius Lorenz Strahlborn and, in addition to a verse inscription, also included the name of the then patron of the church, Duke Carl Leopold, and the pastor. The middle bell from 1597 also bore an inscription with reference to the bell founder Clawes Bincke , i.e. Claus Bincke in Wismar . The smallest and oldest bell was cast in 1425; it is provided with the Gothic minuscule "m" under the inscription , possibly a foundry mark. Two of these bells had to be delivered during the Second World War, of which only one was found in the Hamburg bell cemetery at the end of the war, so that when they returned in 1949 there were two bells that were given an electric bell in 1960.
