Ostre Bardo village church

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The village church in Ostre Bardo (German name Wusterbarth, Belgard district ) is a typical Pomeranian half-timbered church in Poland and dates from the 17th century.

Geographical location

Ostre Bardo is located on the Voivodeship Road No. 163 , which goes from Białogard (Belgard) (20 km) to Połczyn-Zdrój (Bad Polzin) (9 km). The place belongs to Gmina Połczyn-Zdrój and is located in the Świdwin district (Schivelbein) in the Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship . Until 1945 Wusterbarth belonged to the district of Belgard (Persante) in the administrative district of Köslin in the Prussian province of Pomerania . The eastern boundary of the district was and is now formed by the small river Dębnica (Damitz) , which flows a few kilometers further north into the Parsęta (Persante) .

Building description

The village church of Ostre Bardo was founded in 1693 by Balzer von Wolde and his wife Juliane von Glasenapp . Today's massive tower dates from around 1880 and was built in place of the previous building, which was demolished in 1869 due to dilapidation.

The half-timbered church building impresses less with its exterior and more with its respectable interior with plenty of figural carvings.

Interior

The donors of the interior furnishings are the same as those of the church. Their names and coats of arms are on the altar, the central image of which is a representation of " Jesus in Getsemani ". Although the original picture has been lost, a good oil painting with the Getsemanikampf by Schubert in Greifswald was replaced in 1932 . The picture is framed sideways by columns with manueristic figures representing the Old and New Testaments .

On the upper floor of the altar, two figures rest on segmental arches, with “ Christ on the Cross ” in the middle . The altar barriers are filled with swelling acanthus .

The movement of the baroque altar is absorbed by the galleries, which are led around the altar according to Protestant custom. The carved frames under the ceiling and especially the pulpit, which is stylistically related to the altar, are impressive.

Parish

Parish

The Wusterbarther Church was a Protestant church until 1945. As a result of the Second World War , the church was expropriated after 1945 in favor of the Catholic Church in Poland , which still uses it as a place of worship today.

Before the Second World War, Wusterbarth was an independent parish within the Ecclesiastical Province of Pomerania of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union with the Vorwerke Bukow, Zabelhof and Nemrin and Heide . Together with the Quisbernow branch , it formed the parish of Wusterbarth, whose rectory from November 1, 1939, supplied the additional Buslar subsidiary .

The parish Wusterbarth was one of 16 parishes in the parish of Belgard . In 1940 there were a total of 920 parish members, 650 of whom lived in the Wusterbarth parish. The patronage of the church was held by the manor owners von Wolden ( Rauden ) and von Knobelsdorff-Brenkenhoff ( Berlin ) until 1945 .

The Protestant church members in Wusterbarth belong to the parish Koszalin (Köslin) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Polish Evangelical-Augsburg Church since 1945 .
