Pokrent village church
The village church Pokrent is a brick church in Pokrent in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg . The parish of the same name belongs to the Wismar provost in the Mecklenburg parish in the north church .
history
Pokrent was mentioned as early as 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register as a parish of the Ratzeburg diocese . The church was also given the bread and wine donation by Heinrich the Pilgrim in 1267.
At the beginning of the 13th century Pokrent was owned by the knight Detlev von Gadebusch . He was followed in the decades by the gentlemen von Lützow , von Hasenkopf and Bülow. The church patronage was long with the family of Blücher on Renzow , of which there the family in the 16th century von Bulow acquired that kept it until the 1723rd After that, the von Schmettau and von Lützow families owned Pokrent.
In 1737 the noble patronage parish in Prokent was reoccupied. From 1754 to 1786, the Danish conference councilor Georg Wilhelm von Witzendorff held the estate. In 1738 the Neuhaus administrator complained to Pastor Heinrich Gustav Susemihl about not being allowed to attend the Lord's Supper. In 1786 there were disputes between the owner Johann Friedrich Seeler and the pastor Georg Ludwig Neubauer over the burner charge to be delivered to the church. From 1855 the Landdrostin von Wrisberg and from 1860 Heinrich Georg Howitz held the church patronage in Pokrent in addition to the estate.
In 1770 the Klein Renzow estate was re-pared from Perlin to Pokrent and Pokrent remained an independent parish until 1945. The parish was administered from Parum until 1971 and has been associated with it since 1972.
In autumn 1989 the church provided space for the first rally of the New Forum in what was then the Gadebusch district .
architecture
Outer
The church is a simple brick building with buttresses and a rib vaulted choir with a 5/8 end . The nave is not vaulted, but closed with a 19th century wooden ceiling that follows the construction of the gable roof . The current church building with its basic shape from 1595 is similar to the Gothic brick church St. Laurentius built in Ziethen near Ratzeburg in 1595 .
The tower in front of it in the west, on a foundation made of granite field stones, dates from 1805 in its current form; with a half-timbered top , it also has a gable roof and does not protrude very much over the roof ridge of the nave of the choir and nave.
The church of Pokrent was long considered the first post-Reformation village church in Mecklenburg ; its construction date was 1595. Investigations into the processing of the roof truss and dendrochronological results have, however, been able to prove in recent years that the church is much older: the oldest oak woods in the roof of the nave were felled in 1405 and the completely preserved roof of the choir can be dated to 1390 be dated. A single, 6 m long beam decorated with a honeycomb-like pattern, which was apparently used a second time in the roof structure of the nave, can even be dated to 1200 and thus to a time before the church village was first mentioned.
In 1595 - at that time Hartwig von Bülow was cathedral dean of Ratzeburg and heir to Pokrent in the office of Gadebusch - the church was therefore only rebuilt, from which the Renaissance shape of the windows, which has been preserved to this day, comes from.
Inner
The rectangular nave has a vaulted wooden ceiling that was drawn in in 1853 and decorated with ornamental paintings. The oldest part of the furnishings is a granite baptismal font from the 13th century with a round arch structure on the dome and four heads on the base. The domain grimaces are supposed to symbolize the victory of Christianity over the pagans. The eight-sided brass bowl inserted is a later ingredient. The granite baptism is similar to that in Hohenkirchen and Hohen Viecheln , until the church renovation in 1853 it was still in the churchyard.
The neo-Gothic furnishings with pulpit, altar, gallery and stalls from 1853 to 1856 are almost completely preserved.
The altar showed a painting of the Entombment, which was replaced in 1954 by a painting of the risen Christ by the Schwerin painter Rudolf Galenbeck. Figures of the apostles from a medieval retable are incorporated into the side panels .
The old triumphal cross , which the inventory from 1898 still records as being moved to the junk room , came to the Church of Perlin in the 20th century . The former patronage stalls were dismantled in 1953 and parts of them were placed in the choir. There are carved biblical and church scenes on the cheeks.
The ornamental stained glass of the four choir windows in cast-iron tracery dates back to the time of the neo-Gothic furnishings in 1856. The windows are two-lane with splayed central ribs and arches. In the tracery spandrels there are coats of arms of the von Behr family. These are black solder paintings on clay glass. It could possibly be a work by the Schwerin glass painter Ernst Gillmeister .

The organ on the gallery was donated by the von Behr auf Renzow family in 1869 . The single manual work by the Hamburg organ builder Christian Heinrich Wolfsteller, built in 1854 and not intended for a church, in a compact neo-Gothic case has seven registers . In 1991 it was restored by the Wegscheider organ workshop (Dresden). The disposition is as follows:

Bells
Of the two bells that existed in 1898, the larger one was cast in 1760 by Lübeck's council casting master Johann Hinrich Armowitz and adorned with the coat of arms of the then patron Georg Wilhelm von Witzendorf.
The smaller bell that still existed in 1898 was brought to Pokrent by Conrad Philipp Freiherrn von Stenglin on Renzow and Hohen Luckow. It shows the coat of arms of the von Bassewitz family with the initials C • V • B • and an inscription that identifies the bell as a foundation of Christoph von Bassewitz (1670–1745) on Hohen Luckow .
The smaller bell was lost in the 20th century; Pokrent received two cast steel bells, which were replaced by a bronze bell in 2006 and are now in the churchyard.

There is a neo-Gothic chapel in the churchyard. The coat of arms of the von Behr family above the portal shows that it was built as a burial chapel for the von Behr family on Renzow. The Renzow funeral chapel was demolished in 1836.
