Krümmel village church

The village church Krümmel in the street Im Dämp 25 in Krümmel in the Mecklenburg Lake District is a small, neo-Gothic brick church of the parish of Schwarz, built in 1911.

history

Krümmel was first mentioned in a document in 1237, when Prince Nikolaus von Werle established the boundaries of the Dobbertiner monastery area in the land of Turne. In 1274 the field divisions and borders with the lakes and forests were renewed and expanded by Krümmel.

From 1606 to 1609 the von Arenstorff first acquired shares in Krümmel. After the Thirty Years' War they bought the remaining possessions and the sheep farm in Göhren from von Kerkberg . From 1705 all of Krümmel, including the jurisdiction and the church patronage, belonged to those of Arenstorff.

Little is known about the church's conditions; over the centuries, care was provided from several, changing locations in the vicinity. From 1639 to 1651 the parish belonged to Mirow and from 1690 on there are some records about Krümmel in the Mirow church book. According to the list of confessors from 1703, the parish belonged to Alt Gaarz . 1712–1714, 1756–1783 and 1842–1871 the church was connected to Krümmel with Lärz and from 1872 to 1920 it belonged to Melz . After 2000 Krümmel belongs to the parish of Schwarz .

In 2011, the 100-year church consecration was celebrated with a festival service in Krümmel.

Building history

Presumably there was already a small church in the village after 1300, but there are no references or evidence. The church was also not mentioned in the reports on the devastation of the farms and farms during the Thirty Years' War in Krümmel.

Before 1734, von Arenstorff had a small half-timbered church built as patron . It consisted of an undivided room in the shape of an elongated square and was closed inside with a flat wooden ceiling. The year 1734 was incorporated into the weather vane of the octagonal tower helmet . In the tower hung two bells without an inscription, but with a foundry mark. The baroque style interior was from the 18th century. This included a baroque pulpit altar , a north gallery and the patronage boxes of the von Arenstorff families. In addition to the pewter alliance coat of arms on the gallery, there were other family coats of arms of the von Arenstorff family in the glass windows.

In 1896, Prince Georg von Schaumburg-Lippe acquired the Krümmel estate with the patronage of the church. The structure of the church was no longer in good condition and was demolished in 1909. The patron had a new, small, neo-Gothic church built next to the old foundations. The consecration took place on August 20, 1911 with Superintendent Leo.

Exterior

The rather small neo-Gothic brick church has a west tower and a recessed, polygonal choir. The surrounding base consists of hewn granite stones. The gable roof is covered with plain tiles. In the north and south walls and the three floors of the tower there are glazed pointed arch windows . The cornice and the panels on the nave and the tower are decorated with bricks. The entrance on the south side with its ogival door is protected by a canopy.

Interior

The interior of the church is plain and simple. The baroque pulpit altar from 1734 was taken over from the demolished church. The baroque pulpit altar, which was moved to Lärz after 1970, was put up again in 2004. The figures of the pulpit stand now on the side walls. A trumpet angel hangs on the wall and there is still a carved baptism in the area of ​​the altar. There was no organ.

The larger of the two bells from the previous church, which was demolished in 1911, was melted down during World War II . The smaller bell is still rung today.
