Pinnow village church (Murchin)
The village church Pinnow is a church building in the district of Pinnow near Anklam of the municipality of Murchin in the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald . It belongs to the parish of Pinnow-Murchin in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District .
building
The church is now a plastered brick building , mixed with field stone in places , from around 1400 on a rectangular floor plan. The uneven buttresses appear to have been erected later. Originally they were pressed in a pointed arch like a walled up window on the north side and the west portal. The gables are structured by panels . During a renovation, the windows were given segmental arches . Inside the building has a flat beamed ceiling. Various niches are located in the inner wall surfaces.
Furnishing
Until the end of the 1950s, the church had a centrally arranged pulpit altar . The pulpit from the 16th or 17th century with images of the evangelists and the altarpiece from the 17th century are still preserved. The latter with a baroque depiction of the Last Supper . The altar table is dated to 1602.
The galleries were built around 1800, the pastor's chair in the 18th century. The gallery on the south side was originally the seat of the landowners in the neighboring town of Lentschow. Until 1950 there was another gallery on the north side, on which the Pinnow landowners took their places.
During a preliminary investigation for the planned restoration in 1993, a total of nine versions of wall painting were found. The oldest remains of paint with tendril paintings and painted stone blocks come from the Middle Ages . On the east wall there are remains of a baroque curtain painting.
Grave slabs
There are several tombstones in the church. A double grave slab on the northern wall covering the former portal shows Vicko von Stedingk († 1368) in armor and his wife Margarethe († 1368) with a long robe and net-like headgear.
A stone slab is embedded in the floor of the church in memory of the former land rent master of Pommern-Wolgast and governor of the office Stolpe Nicolaus von Klemptzen († 1552), which his widow Magdalena von Bonow donated in 1555.
Fragments of an originally 2.7 meter high and 1.6 meter wide grave slab of a married couple from the von Steding family from 1415 form the threshold of the west portal. The size of the slab is unusual for a village church. The inscriptions of the University of Greifswald found indications of the influence of the Renaissance in the surviving parts of the illustration, in contrast to the rigid image on the grave slab from 1368. A similar grave slab of approximate size is in the ruins of the Eldena monastery . Both grave slabs probably come from the same workshop.
organ
The organ was manufactured in 1847 in the workshop of the Stralsund organ builder Friedrich Nerlich. The organ on the side has a manual (C to d3), an attached pedal and eight stops .
Peal
The ringing consists of a bell from 1533, which is located in a free-standing belfry west of the church.
