The Dorfkirche Neuburg is a listed church building in Neuburg in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). The Evangelical Lutheran Church Community comprises 16 villages and has about 550 parishioners. It belongs to the Mecklenburg Church District in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .
History and architecture
A priest for Neuburg was mentioned in a document in 1219. The building was built from 1220 to 1244 as a residential church in brick . It is one of the oldest village churches in Mecklenburg .
In the Middle Ages it belonged to the diocese of Schwerin and preposition Bützow , today it belongs to the Bukow provost of the Wismar parish of the Mecklenburg regional church . In 1229 it had its own daughter church in Dreveskirchen . Around 1266 she participated in the income of the Ratsweinkeller in Wismar due to a donation from Heinrichs the Pilgrim . Most of the pastors have been known by name since Fridericus (1219). Since 1306 the church in Neuburg has been in close contact with the Doberan Monastery , as Prince Heinrich II of Mecklenburg carried out an extensive land swap with the Doberan abbot Johannes von Elbing in 1306, in the course of which 14 Hufen in Neuburg including the patronage of the church in Neuburg and its daughter church fell to the monastery. The daughter church in Dreveskirchen was separated and made independent by Bishop Hermann von Schwerin in 1318.
architecture
The arched choir on a granite base is slightly indented. The two-bay sacristy is on the north side. The mighty west tower with an almost square floor plan is as wide as the nave and was built up at the end of the 14th century. It is structured regularly, the octagonal helmet sits over the gable which is structured with panels. The nave is the original nave of a basilica based on the church in Neukloster, the side aisles of which were probably demolished around 1300 and not replaced. Externally, the transitional style of the nave can be recognized by the slit windows, which are in clear contrast to the clearly Gothic windows of the three-story church tower. The former, arched arcades are closed by masonry. The cross pillars with massive templates are still clearly visible, above which the beginnings of the former aisle roofs have been preserved. The nave and choir walls are divided by small ogival windows. The group of three windows in the east wall is staggered. The east gable shows pairs of pointed arches. The west portal was renewed in the 19th century. In 1980 fragments of wall and vault paintings from different eras were uncovered. The remains of an image of the Last Supper from the 14th century were uncovered on the south side of the choir. Representations of Christophorus and Georg from around 1400 were found on the north wall of the ship . On the east wall of the nave and in the upper aisle , depictions of the apostles can be seen, they were painted in the second half of the 17th century. The painted wall hangings and the angels in the choir are from the same period.
