Minzow village church
The village church in Minzow, a district of Leizen in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, is a historicist church building from 1862.
description
The church was built from 1860 to 1862 in the center of Minzow according to plans by the architect Theodor Krüger . At that time, the church was recognized as the first building that took into account the Mecklenburg church building regulations, a narrower version of the Eisenach regulations .
The nave, built in neo-Gothic style and spanned by a cross vault, is rectangular. The choir niche faces east, access to the church is through the basement of the west-facing tower.
The tower is crowned by a slate-roofed pyramid helmet.
A gallery has moved in to the west of the nave . Under the gallery is a glazed anteroom that is used as a winter church. A sacristy is attached to the nave to the north . After the church was built, Minzow was raised to an independent Protestant parish in 1863. The church initially had two bells, one of which was melted down in 1940. The remaining bell originally comes from the Dambeck church ruins .
organ
In the gallery is an organ built in 1892 by the Rostock organ builder Julius Schwarz . The Kegelladen instrument has 7 stops on a manual (C – f 3 : drone 16 ′, principal 8 ′, hollow flute 8 ′, salicional 8 ′, octave 4 ′, octave 2 ′) and a pedal (C – d 1 : sub-bass 16 ′). The actions are pneumatic. The manual can be linked to the pedal.
