Pechov village church
The village church Petschow is a church of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Cammin in the community of Dummerstorf in the district of Rostock . The community belongs to the Rostock provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany ( Northern Church ).
history
The village of Petschow, formerly also called Petzekow or Petzekowe, was first mentioned on August 13, 1327. A Johann Moltke sold his Kassebohm estate to various Rostock families here. Presumably he owned property in Pechov. There is evidence that the Moltkes owned shares in the Bede , the highest court and in services in 1360 and 1378. The ownership subsequently changed to the Bevernest, Grabow and von Walsleben families , to a councilor Salomon and Adolph Hans Grüttner. In the Middle Ages, the church belonged to the Archdeaconate of Rostock and was first mentioned in a document on April 27, 1355. The reason was an indulgence that was bestowed on her in papal Avignon by twelve bishops. This indulgence promised pilgrims 40 indulgence days to visit the church. Then the Petschow church became a place of pilgrimage and it was richly decorated.
The church was built in the 13th century, a time before it was first mentioned. Stylistically, it bears the traits of the transition from Romanesque to Gothic . The choir was built around 1260, a little later the nave . The rather large tower was added in the second half of the 15th century. Originally, he probably had a high helmet until the Thirty Years War .
The church was dedicated to the Apostle Bartholomew . The patronage was held from 1327 to 1827 by the knight family von Preen (Prehn) , who owned the estates Bandelstorf , Gubkow and Wehnendorf .
Wall and vault paintings
In 1896 numerous wall and vault paintings from the 14th century were discovered under the wall paint from the 18th century. They were uncovered by the restorer W. Krause. The restoration was carried out in the restoration style of the late 19th century. Saints Stephen, Martin, Nikolaus, Paulus, Jakobus and two apostles are shown, as well as Saints Maria Magdalena, Katharina, Margarethe, Laurentius and Bartholomäus. The history of salvation is depicted in the vault of the central nave. In the vault of the western yoke the Last Judgment and the torments of hell are depicted, behind the organ the legend of Nicholas. On the walls of the nave, scenes from the Old Testament and depictions of the four evangelists can be seen. The latter date from the renovation in 1896 and were modeled on the painting in the Toitenwinkel church. On the side of the triumphal arch wall facing the nave there is a statue of St. Christopher to the north and a crucifixion scene to the south.
Redevelopment
In 1999, the renovation of the roof structure began. Damage in the roof had caused strong moisture penetration into the vaults and roof construction, which had also affected the valuable frescoes. The cracks in the vaults could be repaired and the roof of the choir was re-covered. Extensive renovation work is still necessary. A development association supports the parish in maintaining the building.
Building description
The church is made of field stones. The central nave has two bays, the choir is one berth. Both are covered with steep eight-part vaults. To the north of the choir is a sacristy , which was also built from field stones. The burial chapel and porch on the south side of the church are made of bricks. There is a roof turret at the east end of the nave. The east gable of the choir is decorated with panels and a toothed frieze.
Furnishing
The altar is a Baroque work from 1707, probably made by a Rostock workshop. Schlie attests to him “... the striking lightness and elegance of the forms.” In addition to rich foliage, putti with instruments and three paintings, there are the figures of the evangelists flanking the paintings. The paintings show a crucifixion scene, the Lord's Supper and the resurrection of Christ.
The pulpit dates from the Renaissance period . Completed in 1610, the four evangelists are shown on paintings and the coat of arms of the church patron in the base of the pulpit.
On the north wall of the nave is a triumphal cross, which was originally located in the triumphal arch to the choir and dates from the second half of the 15th century. Jesus, Mary and John are depicted here in almost life-size figures.
On the north wall of the choir hangs a sacrament cabinet with a viewing door and a high tower from the 14th century. The Petschow Atonement Hand is kept in the cupboard . Another, somewhat older sacrament cabinet is set into the east wall of the choir. This bears the coat of arms of the von Prehn family and a crucified person.
organ
The organ (I / P / 15) was built by the Mecklenburg organ builder Paul Schmidt in 1783. The slider chest instrument has 15 registers with a manual and a pedal. In contrast to most of Mecklenburg's baroque organs, their register inventory has never been changed and is therefore the best preserved instrument from its builder today. Only the prospect pipes were sold to the war economy in 1917. In 1906, Carl Börger removed the wedge bellows and installed a new double bellows. The Sauer company carried out work on the organ in 1964, while the instrument was tuned to the concert pitch. In 1993 the organ was restored by the Wegscheider organ workshop . She owns mechanical slide chests.
