construction

Passow Church, east gable (2012)

A chapel in Passow is documented for the first time in 1557 in the visitation protocol. Passow was and is, like the Weisin , a branch church of the parish church in Benthen . Ulrich Philipp von Behr-Negendank had the chapel renewed from 1804 to 1806 .

Today's church building is a neo-Gothic single - nave hall church . It was built from 1866 to 1868 according to plans by Theodor Krüger , who had previously directed the construction of the new church in neighboring Granzin . The building was essentially designed as a stone church , the tower top and the east and west facing gables were made of brick , which came from the brickworks belonging to Gut Passow.

The new building was financed by the church patron , Hermann von Behr-Negendank (1801–1887). There is therefore a bear in the weather vane on the tower, similar to the Behr-Negendanck village church in Behren-Lübchin . The inauguration took place on the 2nd Sunday of Advent, December 6th, 1868 in the presence of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II .

Towards the end of the Second World War , the tower received a bullet, which caused the spire to tilt; it could only be judged again in 1950. The long-term consequences led to emergency safety measures on the tower in 2014. In 1963 a winter church was set up under the organ gallery.

The church was selected as Church of the Month by the Foundation for the Preservation of Church Monuments in Germany in February 2018 . The roof structures have to be renovated and the roof coverings renewed. Restoration work is necessary on the facade.

Furnishing

The furnishings come from the time it was built. The neo-Gothic altar is decorated with an altarpiece of Christ on the Cross , which was painted by Waldemar Philippi in 1868 . The white marble baptismal font , the patronage stalls and the pulpit are also still in their original condition. In the patronage chair there are some small tin signs with coats of arms and names of deceased of the von Behr-Negendanck family and other families associated with them. In the east window there is a painted double coat of arms of the donors: HAF v. Behr-Negendanck and LV Behr-Negendanck, b. v. Ledebur 1868.

organ

Also in 1868 the church received an organ from Friedrich Friese III . It has the only remaining tin - front pipes from the workshop of Friese (III). The one-manual work has 6 registers , the pedal is attached . The organ was restored in 2001 by the Alexander Schuke Potsdam Orgelbau workshop . She has the disposition :

Manual C – c 3
Violin principal 8th'
Drone 8th'
flute 8th'
Praestant 4 ′
Reed flute 4 ′
Octave 2 ′
Pedal C – c 1
