history

On August 3, 1235, Bishop Brunward von Schwerin confirmed the parish and parish parish in Warin of the Kuppentin church. It was the time of the colonization and Christianization of the Slavic area by Germans from the north and west of the already existing Mecklenburg. Slaven gave the place Kuppentin the name Ort des Kobbad. Mentioned as Kobadin in 1235 and 1271, Cobbendin in 1283 and Cobbentyn in 1558. At this time the parishes of Plau and Kuppentin also emerged as parishes. The Kuppentin church was given a parish that comprised the villages of Kuppentin, Bobzin , Gallin , Daschow , Zahren , Plauerhagen , Penzlin , Hof-Linden and the villages of Broock and Barkow , a respectable and profitable parish. In this first mention on August 3, 1235, the first Kuppentine pastor Engelbertus de Cobandin was named. Since 1272 the von Preen sat as vassals on Kuppentin. Gottschalk von Preen as a knight with Heinrich I. von Werle received five hooves as the first enfeoffment, subsequently Johann von Preen was named.

Weisin , Lalchow and Zahren and the parish developed into a respected and influential property thanks to their coveted benefices. Also the monastery Dobbertin acquired already in 1308 Kuppentin income of four hooves and two skating , extending to 12 marks in the village Kobende. In 1391 the squire Tydeke Samekow was named as resident in Kuppentin and seven years later in Daschow. Before 1461, Kuppentin was a fief of Heine Curse and in 1461 it came to Hans von Restorff II, son of Hans Restorff I on Wessentin and Kritzow , through an heir to Heine Curse . From 1551 to 1567 Joachim von Restorff and from 1580 to 1601 Christoph von Restorff, Joachim's son, owned land in Kuppentin. Joachim (Achim) von Restorff was the provisional officer of the Lübz monastery until 1639 and his son Christoph was in Kuppentin until 1701. From 1703 a Cord Dietrich von Restorff was named and from 1714 the estate was temporarily administered by Captain von Gamm . The von Restorffs stayed in Kuppentin until bankruptcy in 1732. From 1733 to 1736 one of Weltzien was named as administrator who went to Plau am See.

From 1739 Kuppentin came into the possession of Bernd Ulrich von Pressentin auf Prestin , who ran the neighboring Daschow estate from 1730 until his death in 1769 and lived there. In 1804 Mrs. Charlotte Sophie Friederike von Freyburg , born von Pressentin, took over the Kuppentin estate; in 1811 she married Dr. August Dietrich Bade and the estate was administered by the heirs until 1821. In 1821 Helmuth von Blücher acquired the Kuppentin estate from the Sukow and Pohnsdorf family from the heirs. Since Helmuth von Blücher died very young at the age of 31, the younger brother Ernst von Blücher got the estate in 1829 . When he became head of the monastery in Malchow in 1830 , he leased Kuppentin to Jobst Heinrich von Bülow for 20 years . From 1863 Anton von Blücher's son Gustav was the owner of Kuppentin. He was chamberlain to the Grand Duke and in 1876 director of the law firm. After his death in 1892, Carl and Ernst von Blücher jointly took over the property in Kuppentin, which Carl managed until 1922. From 1922 until the expulsion in 1945, Carl's nephew Ernst-August von Blücher ran the Kuppentin estate on Teschow.

After the expropriation in 1945, the manor house was used for refugee apartments, housed a small consumer sales point and used as a restaurant until the fall of the Berlin Wall. The agricultural land was cultivated from 1959 by the LPG Karl Liebknecht . Until the fall of the Berlin Wall, plant production was assigned to LPG in Neu Poserin and animal production to LPG in Gallin. From 1993 a cooperative took over Kuppentin's agriculture.

Building history

On December 22nd, 1649 Duke Adolf Friedrich exchanged the patronage of the Kuppentin church for the church in Golberg with the branch church in Zidderich with the monastery captain Paschen von der Lühe and the domina Catharina von Sprengel from the Dobbertin monastery . On November 11, 1650, the Dobbertin monastery sold the church for 500 guilders to Lüder von Dessin's heirs on Daschow. In 1655 the rectory burned down. Pastor Michael Freund put this misfortune on the nefariousness of one of his servants.

In 1978 the church was closed due to the danger of collapse by the State Building Inspectorate, Lübz branch. The gable of the choir had leaned towards the nave and threatened to collapse. The masonry and choir showed large cracks. Some of the ceiling beams in the nave had rotted through due to moisture damage and rafters were broken. The brickwork on the north side was pushed outwards by the load of the roof as a result of the destroyed ceiling beams.

After a long period of neglect and decay, the church has been renovated and made usable again since 1995 with the support of a development association.

Building description

The Kuppentin church is one of the few independent church building phases in the country in which the lower nave is viewed as part of the old church and the larger, higher and wider choir is a later extension. But as new scientific studies show, even Schlie and Dehio were wrong here.

Exterior

The Kuppentin church consists of a stately choir with a brick sacristy, an attached hall made of field stone and a wooden tower with an octagonal helmet. The choir has been dendrochronologically (d) dated to 1284, the nave to 1337 (d) and the tower to 1556 (d). The choir closes with five sides of a dodecagon. The nave has narrow window openings that are rounded on the north side with a sloping reveal . On the south side, the windows as well as the portal in the north were changed to have an ogival arch. A round arch frieze stretches around the choir . The change of plan from the ambitious Gothic choir to a relatively archaic nave is attributed to a general decline in church construction as a result of the economic power in Mecklenburg and Western Pomerania, which was weakened by the plague epidemics and a lack of wood. Before the results of the dendrochronological research, the nave was considered older than the choir in the literature.

The choir stands on a field stone base and is provided with original, graceful, buttresses that are not stepped. Between the buttresses, there are tall, narrow windows that are profiled with round bars on the outside and inside. Later stepped buttresses were installed in the middle of the south and south-east polygonal windows. There is a walled-in round window in the north wall.

The almost 27 meter high wooden tower has been renewed since 2013. In the process, damaged parts of the old oak wood construction from 1556 were replaced, statically and structurally secured and boarded with new boards. The scaffolding was dismantled in December 2018.

Interior

Inside, the flat-roofed nave opens up to the light choir with a pointed triumphal arch . The choir shows groin vaults on semicircular wall templates, which in the polygon are additionally provided with round services along the shield arches .

altar

A three-storey altarpiece from 1696 is decorated with paintings of the Last Supper , the Crucifixion and the Ascension of Christ . Older carved figures, which presumably date from the 15th century, were incorporated into the carved architectural frame. They show Mary and John the Evangelist and four apostles from different backgrounds. In May 2004, the restorer Anja-Maria Gundermann had preserved and restored the baroque altarpiece. After preservation of the substance and cleaning of the heavily soiled surface, which was disfigured in color by an extremely browned coating, the appearance was then significantly upgraded.

pulpit

A well-designed pulpit from 1680 shows reliefs of the evangelists in arcades and rich fittings on the basket . The sound cover has a richly decorated wooden crown.

organ

The organ is a work by Friedrich Friese III from 1874 with six registers on a manual with attached pedal .

Man of Sorrows

Finally, there is a carved figure from the 15th century that shows Christ as the Man of Sorrows . It stands on a console from 1715, which is reminiscent of Pastor H. Linsen.

particularities

Giants couldn't stand the ringing of bells. An explanation was even sought in a legend. It was said that in the times of the pagans there were giants in the Kuppentin area. When the Christians came to Mecklenburg, they also built a church in Kuppentin. But the giants couldn't stand the ringing of bells for death. When the bells rang again on Sundays, they got angry and threw large stones towards the sound of the bell. They hit the church tower of Kuppentin and destroyed it. The people rebuilt the tower, now made of wood with shingles and it is still standing today.
