Nätebow village church
The village church in Nätebow, a district of Bollewick in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , is a late Romanesque brick building with a ribbed vault from the 14th century.
history
The church is located on a slight hill and was originally laid out as a late medieval fortified church . The church was first mentioned on the occasion of the foundation of its altar furnishings in 1331. In the course of its long history, the church has been rebuilt and expanded several times. The village of Nätebow was destroyed in the Thirty Years War. The church, which had fallen into ruin, was rebuilt in 1682 at the instigation of Lieutenant Bernhardt Christian Schmidt and Rittmeister Caspar Christoph Langermann and was essentially given its current form. Around 1790 a fire broke out and the church tower fell victim. A new church tower was not erected until 1903.
The church is occasionally open for sightseeing and church services, but is in dire need of renovation. The church tower is closed because it is dilapidated. It belongs to the parish Röbel in the provost of Neustrelitz, Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .
Furnishing
Inside the church there is a late Gothic four-winged carved altar from 1522, the middle section of which shows three large figures of saints (Mary, John the Baptist and John the Evangelist), each of which is supplemented by four smaller figures of saints. The pausing movements and the highly individualized physiognomies of the saints shown are striking. The altar type indicates an origin from the Prignitz and is stylistically related to works in Wittstock and Porep. The outside of the altar is painted with partly fragmentary depictions of saints. The predella of the altar, created in 1682, shows the coats of arms and the names of Langermann and Schmiden in addition to the Last Supper. Left Caspar Christoff Langermann, Churfürstl. Brandenb. Rittmeister, and on the right Eleonore Margarethe Langermann, b. Schmiden. Above the altar there is a baroque baptismal angel , to the right of the altar there is a historical patronage box from the 17th century, which, due to its glazing and roofing, was once heated, presumably in contrast to the rest of the church, and in which the family of the church patron von Langermann and Erlencamp attended the services. To the left of the altar is a neoclassical wooden pulpit .
There is said to be a crypt under the altar, but it has not yet been explored. Other art treasures of the church have also not been researched: a fragment of a wooden crucifixion group (probably from the 16th century) and a historical oil painting on an ornate wooden panel, which was probably once the central part of an altar. The meaning of the motif (a figure of salvation over a knight ducking away) is unknown.
The church also has twelve niches, the number of which probably refers to the twelve apostles and in which altars or figures could have been. The inscription on a memorial plaque indicates the restoration of the church in 1682: In 1682, Mr. Leuttenand Bernhardt Christian Schmidt and Mr. Rittmeister Caspar Christoph Langermann started to repair the dilapidated Näthbo church.
The two bronze bells of the church were cast by Schilling in Apolda in 1950.
