Village church Pröttlin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Village church Pröttlin

The village church in Pröttlin , a district of Karstädt in the state of Brandenburg, was added to the list of architectural monuments in Karstädt (Prignitz) . The place name Pröttlin in its current spelling has been traceable since 1632, previously it was known as Brötelin .

architecture

The church is a hall building made of field stones over a rectangular floor plan. The portal with a pointed arch is on the north side. The east side is divided by three windows. A double staggered gable with pinnacles rises above it . The lower zone is divided by four twin arcades, the upper zone by two further twin arcades. While the windows in the east with their brick walls probably retained their original shape, the side windows were enlarged to make a basket arch. On the north side, to the west of the portal, the remainder of the original walled-up window can still be seen. This is likely to have corresponded in its design to those in the east. During the Thirty Years' War , after being pillaged by Wallenstein's troops, only the ring walls of the church in Pröttlin remained.

The late Gothic church of the original street village is drawn in an elevation by the architect Paul Eichholtz (initials PE) from a north-eastern perspective, with the square church tower built in 1863, which was originally just a half-timbered building and was not clad with slate , as well as no church clock with the dials each of the four sides of the tower owned.

Around 1906 the tower was raised while retaining the hood from 1863. A wooden staircase led to a former emergency exit, which was built next to the entrance portal using the left window opening. The space required for the emergency exit in the sanctuary was created by removing two cheeks from the oak church stalls , decorated with wooden decorations, which are now back in their original position.

Interior

The furnishings include the carved winged altar , the Renaissance organ , the pulpit from the 17th century and a glass painting on which a woman offers a riding knight a drink. On the northern window front of the nave, on the right of the enlarged window - immediately next to the entrance portal - the remaining part of a walled-up window can be seen. The height of this former window corresponded to the three small ones in the chancel below the stepped gable on the east side of the church. After the reunification of Germany, a winter church was set up in the church interior below the organ gallery and the tower , which is separated from the actual nave by a glass wall with a glass door.

Altar shrine

The middle section of the late Gothic winged altar shows a crescent Madonna with the baby Jesus. Maria looks to her child under the sky to the right and stands with one foot on the crescent moon. Her head is crowned with a golden halo . In the oval blue wreath of clouds that surrounds mother and child, the five wounds of Christ are shown . Outside the oval wreath there are a total of four figures of saints. The two women each wear a golden crown, while the heads of the men are otherwise covered with shiny gold. The two wings of the folding altar show the Twelve Apostles . The winged altar was completely restored in 1904 by the Berlin sculptor Hermann Kähler. Another restoration of the altar took place in 1958.

pulpit

The pulpit for the Pröttlin preacher was made at the beginning of the 17th century. Fretwork adorns part of the Renaissance pulpit. Hermen are attached to the corners of the preacher's booth and nobility's coats of arms in colored designs are attached to the lower part of the pulpit.

history

Among the feudal people who paid homage to the Brandenburg Elector Joachim I in 1500 was the knight Reynicke vd Kruge - also from the Kruge - at Brotelyn. The knight's seat later became the property of the von Blumenthal family . Von Blumenthal from the House of Pröttlin exercised church patronage over the church in Pröttlin around 1686 and thereafter.

The former manor in Pröttlin was relocated in 1903 and the former district of Neu Pröttlin was created on part of its land. In the parish almanac of 1907 Pröttlin is named with the status of "patronage free" and as pastor Adolf Gustav Karl Könnig with his family name. With the elimination of the church patronage , among other things, the obligation for the respective patron to preserve the church buildings and his right to propose appointments to the pastor's position no longer existed. If the congregation was exempt from patronage, the new appointment was made by election of the congregation alternating with the appointment by the church authority, the consistory .

Church records

The church records from 1810 to 1862 the parish Pröttlin with the affiliated churches was until 1952 still in the rectory. The Milow and Deibow branch churches had their own church registers from 1863 onwards. In addition, there is a detailed list of church registers on births, marriages and deaths, sorted alphabetically and chronologically by families, for Pröttlin from the years 1810–1874, 1810–1924 and 1810–1930.

Memorial to those who fell in the world wars

The Pröttlin church does not contain - as is often the case in village churches - one of the so-called war memorial tablets for those who fell or were missing in both world wars. For those who fell in the First World War , a memorial stone was unveiled on July 3, 1920 - with the participation of Pastor Eich - not far from the Pröttlin manor, which was deleted from the registry in 1906. This memorial stone has been expanded to include two name plaques for those who died in World War II on the day of national mourning in 1995.

Rectory and churchyard

Until the end of April 1945 there was a field hospital for German soldiers in the hall of the former village restaurant “Berliner Kindel” - formerly the “Hirtschulz” inn - opposite the parish garden. After the Red Army marched in on May 2, 1945, the Soviet occupying power temporarily confiscated the rectory to build a hospital. The churchyard was closed at the beginning of the 20th century and a communal cemetery was set up opposite the eastern boundary of the parish garden.
