The village church in Kladrum is a medieval stone church in Kladrum , Mecklenburg , a district of the municipality Zölkow in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .

history

The village of Kladrum Cladrum , located in Amt Ture (Lübz), seems to have been a farming village since the Middle Ages . In addition to the sovereign domanium , the Dobbertin monastery also received income and leases from the village of Kladrum as early as 1360 and 1367. Claws Rutzen was waived the lease because he had given his daughter to the monastery. In 1534 Duke Albrecht VII. Berthold Trampe from Kladrum had appointed church lord and the Vogt of Lübz confirmed his income to him. The chapels in Badegow and Grabow also belonged to the Kladrum church. After merging the offices of Lübz and Crivitz, a change of patronage took place in 1752. From 1849 to 1866 and from 1908 the parishes of Wessin and Bülow were co-administered by Kladrum.

Building history

Exterior

The stone church typical of Mecklenburg villages is said to have been built in the second half of the 13th century, possibly the first half of the 14th century. However, no documents or documents have survived about the exact time and circumstances of the construction of the Kladrum church. The simple building made of layered field stones with its flat-roofed interior was apparently consecrated to the apostle Matthew and St. Mary . As a result of the Thirty Years' War , the church was destroyed down to the surrounding walls in 1649 and was not rebuilt until 1667. The building material came from the chapel in (Hof) Grabow, in which no services have been held since 1633. The unadorned outer walls were loosened up by ogival windows. The facade of the upper eastern brick gable is decorated with seven pointed lancet panels. In the lower choir area there is a pointed arch window with diamond glass.

Tower hood with clock, 2012

A specialty for Mecklenburg churches is the rare and charming shape of the curved onion-shaped tower dome from 1696. This was renewed in 1708 after a lightning strike and covered with copper. The two-storey retracted square west tower with its defensive appearance has a tapering eight-sided helmet with a shingle-covered pear or onion-shaped hood. In 1930 the spire was clad with copper. When the copper was removed from the tower for war purposes in 1943, it was covered with roofing felt, which was replaced in 1956. After 1990 there was a new roofing with Finnish wood shingles .

From 1794 there were first collections for a church tower clock. Since the purchase of an organ was more important, the clock could not be installed until 1857. It was constantly maintained until 1893, after which it was found unworthy of repair. In 1913, a new tower clock was installed by the tower clock factory and bell foundry JF Weule from Bockenem.

In 1885 there was an extension and renovation of the Kladrum rectory, after which the interior of the church was given a smooth wall plaster and in 1907 a church heating system was installed.

Interior

Pulpit altar from 1752

altar

On the east side of the church is a pulpit altar made in 1752 by the Rostock sculptor Johann Andreas Klinckmann with fine carved figures. As early as 1746, Klinckmann made the pulpit altar on the nuns' gallery in the Dobbertiner monastery church .

Of the four carved figures taken from an older Gothic triptych on the medieval altar shrine, only Christ and Mary from a coronation of Mary are at the top, the lower apostles Paul and Peter are missing.

Baptismal font

The wooden font was made at the end of the 18th century. The copper baptismal bowl has the inscription: Donated to the church of Kladrum by Maria Carstens b. Führhop A. D. 1952.

In the western prospect of the organ gallery there are panels painted with some apostles . The names were written there as follows: from the left St. Matthäus, St. Judas Thaddäus, St. Thomas, St. Jacobus II (d. J.), St. Johannes, Jesus, St. Petrus, St. Jacobus I (d . Ä.), St. Philip, St. Simon of Cana and St. Bartholomew.

The coats of arms of the von Barner and von Lützow families were painted on the patronage chairs that were no longer in existence . Magnus Friedrich von Barner, the hereditary lord of Bülow, Klein Görnow and Badegow, was provisional in the Dobbertin monastery from 1691 to 1694. Margaretha Elisabeth von Lützow from Seedorf was his wife.

Due to heavy dry rot infestation , the old pews had to be removed after 1970. Chairs were a permanent stopgap. Since 2007 there are pews again and in 2009 the interior was repainted.

organ

Runge organ from 1847

The organ (I / P / 8) on the west gallery was built in 1847 by the organ builder Johann Heinrich Runge from Hagenow and repaired in 1853. The one-manual movement with a mechanical sliding drawer has eight registers and pedals. After a repair carried out in 1913, the organ was destroyed at the end of 1945 except for the fan. In 1950, the organ builder Leopold Nitschmann (a refugee from Silesia) was able to make the numerous destroyed pipes of the organ playable again with spare parts from the churches of Mestlin , Dobbertin and Grebbin. Since 1980 the completely desolate organ is no longer playable due to numerous destroyed pipes.

On October 13, 2013, the regional bishop i. R. Hermann Beste inaugurated a new organ with five registers, divided into two manuals with pedal and 246 pipes. The organ is a donation from Mr. Eberhard von Below from Kleinburgwedel for the village church in Below. Since Julius Schwarz's organ there is still playing, the instrument came on loan to the Kladrum church. Built in 1966 by Werner Bosch Orgelbau in Sandhausen near Kassel , it was installed by master organ builder Andreas Arnold from Mecklenburg Organ Builders in Plau am See . The console was attached to the organ, the closed case is made of oak on the outside and pear tree on the inside.

Bells

Bell from 1470

Until the Second World War , three bells hung in the tower of Kladrum Church. The largest and smallest bells were cast in 1470, the middle one in 1468. The date "ANNO 1698" stamped on a beam in the bell cage also indicates a possible renovation of the church tower after the Thirty Years' War. After a 50 cm long crack, a bell was re-cast. In 1907 a supporting beam stand in the bell cage was renewed and in 1913 a bell machine was purchased. On February 13, 1943, two bells with the inventory numbers 4/26/59 Category A and 4/26/60 Category B were removed and melted down by the Reich Office for Metals for the Second World War. The smallest bell from 1470 with the inscription: Greetings to you, Maria, full of thanks - God be with you. is still available. Since 1957 there are two new chilled cast iron bells from the bell foundry in Apolda in the tower. The larger one is labeled: Land, Land, Land, hear the word of the Lord. , the lesser The word of our God remains forever. Apparently, the romanization was not chosen without care at that time.
