The Protestant village church Kirch Stück is a Gothic brick church in the district of Kirch Stück of Klein Trebbow in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It belongs to the parish Alt Meteln-Cramon-Groß Trebbow in the Wismar provost in the Schwerin-Land region of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Northern Church) .

History and architecture

The existing church must have had a previous building, as the village of Kerkstuke was first mentioned in 1178. In 1227, Schwerin Cathedral won an annual corn elevation, as the old Gothic altar still shows today, to keep St. George in special honor.

Exterior

The stately single-nave brick building consists of a three-bay nave with an older, retracted choir and a square, three-story west tower. The core of the church dates from around 1280. The choir still shows the structure with pilaster strips as in Romanesque buildings. The choir gable is sparingly structured with three panels. A tooth-cut frieze divides the choir eaves and continues under the choir gable. A priest gate, elaborately decorated with glazed bricks and a band of warriors, leads into the choir on the south side.

The higher nave shows buttresses that suggest an intended vaulting, which was no longer carried out. The square, three-storey west tower the width of a ship has a multiple stepped portal in the west, windows that were later added on the middle storey and coupled sound openings on the upper storey . It is closed by a hipped roof that was dendrochronologically dated to 1458.

Interior

Inside the choir is spanned by a brushed ribbed vault over corner services. The ship, on the other hand, was originally provided with a flat ceiling and is now closed by a wooden ceiling that was added during the restoration in 1857/58.

Furnishing

Since three pieces of furniture are provided with images of St. George, this knight saint was probably chosen as the namesake of the church in the 13th century. The valuable glass paintings in the northern choir window from around 1300 are among the oldest in Mecklenburg and show a knight under an early Gothic arcade who is interpreted as the church patron Saint George. A stained glass with a crucifixion group in an architectural setting was probably made around 1400. Furthermore, in the arched fields of the choir windows, there are approximately simultaneous glass paintings with depictions of saints, which are similar to the glass paintings preserved in the Heilig-Geist-Kirche in Wismar .

A bell with the tone f sharp 1 +7 from the early 14th century with majusc inscription and a depiction of a saint has also been preserved. In the inscription it shows kinship with the medieval bell of the village church Hohenkirchen and probably comes from the same foundry.

The high-quality carved altar from around 1430/40 shows six reliefs in the shrine with scenes from the Passion of Christ and St. George fighting the dragon. The twelve apostles are depicted in the wings , while the paintings on their backs have been destroyed. Another expressive crucifix, also medieval, comes from a former triumphal cross group .

A tombstone of Anna Hahn, who died in 1573, is now in front of the altar and shows the deceased in a full-length relief under an arched arcade and is richly inscribed. In its corners are the four coats of arms of the von Hahn , von Plessen , von Sperling and von Pentz families .

At the entrance of the church which is cuppa of a medieval baptismal font of granite preserved. Much older is a holy water basin, which dates from prehistoric times and originally served as a trough mill.

The organ is a work from 1905 by Carl Börger with five registers and a transmission on a manual and pedal .

Support association

The restoration of the church is supported by a development association, which received an honorable mention in 2017 at the Friedrich Lisch Monument Prize of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The aim of the association is to make the building a center of the Low German language. In addition to the corresponding cultural events, the worship services held in Low German have in the meantime developed an attraction for a broader audience.
