Prestin village church
The Evangelical Lutheran village church Prestin is a small medieval stone church in the Mecklenburg village Prestin , a district of the municipality Bülow in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
history
Prestin was mentioned in a document as early as 1270 with Peter and in 1275 with Hence de Prisyntin (Pressentin). There is evidence that Prescentin and Preszentyn belonged to the von Pressentin noble family from 1348 until 1872 .
During the Thirty Years' War and the plague year of 1638, the von Pressentin family died out, with the exception of two members. In 1728 Wilhelm I von Pressentin took over the village with the church and the estate and had a two-story house built there. In 1793 there was a dispute between Johann Wilhelm von Pressentin auf Prestin and the monastery captain von Bülow auf Wamkow as patron of the church in Prestin about the reoccupation of the pastor's office and the building of a house for the widow of the pastor Friederici.
In 1802 the rectory burned down and in 1804 it was rebuilt. In 1872, Pressentin's ancestral property from old times in Prestin was lost, only the grave chapel remained for the family as the final resting place.
From 1872 Johann David Thormann took over the estate, in 1913 Bernhard Trips followed and from 1924 Friedrich Klotz was in Prestin. Nothing is left of the estate or the courtyard. Some farm buildings built in the neo-Gothic style between 1884 and 1888 and the mill built in 1910 have not been used for years and are in ruins.
Building history
Since the construction of the Prestin church began, the von Pressentin family had always been the patron of the small village church . The church is dedicated to Peter and was preserved and equipped by the Pressentins. The first medieval clergyman was mentioned in a document in Prestin in 1331, pastor Nicolaus. One can therefore assume that simple, customary church building began before the middle of the 13th century. The nave was completed in 1489.
It was not until 1534 that the Prestin Church could be heard again with the Sternberg rector Blasius Wilde as co-donor of the pulpit. So it can be assumed that the church building with the tower was not completed until the middle of the 15th century. In 1568 Joachim Dase (Daße, Dassenius) was pastor in Prestin. In 1596, his only 18-year-old son followed him as pastor, who held the office until 1636. After several vacancies , pastors alternated to look after the churches in Wamckow , Prestin and Groß Niendorf .
During a great storm on December 8, 1703, the church tower collapsed, the three bells remained undamaged. Then the entrance was relocated to the west gable and bricked up on the south side. While Pastor Metelmann was in office, the rectory burned down in 1802, and he himself died of nervous fever in 1811.
In 1996 the external security and extensive renovation of the church began.
Exterior
The small, rectangular, single-nave church building, only 19 meters long and 13 meters wide, is provided with uncut field stones and a steep pitched roof with plain tiles. Without a tower and choir, it resembles the simple church buildings typical of the country in the vicinity. After the church tower collapsed in 1703, the west wall made of field stone was provided with a new half-timbered gable and two brick buttresses. The entrance has now been placed on the west side. Below the east gable with its seven narrow, ogival panels is a wide niche walled up with bricks with a pointed arch. The narrow, rather high windows in the north and south walls are made of bricks in the pointed arch style.
Interior
The interior is spanned by a flat wooden beam ceiling.
Pulpit and altar
The pulpit has changed its place several times over the centuries. It was originally located next to the entrance on the south side of the church. In 1534 Margarethe von Pressentin, b. von Barner , a new pulpit as Reimar von Pressentin's widow. The co-donor was the Sternberg rector Blasius Wilde. In 1704 the pulpit is said to have been replaced by a new one. Pulpit and stalls are of the simplest kind.
The altarpiece in late Renaissance forms using individual figures from an older, Gothic triptych dates from 1697. During the restoration in 1963 by the Güstrow restorer Mirau, the original version was exposed and sometimes improperly supplemented. In the side panels there are small apostle figures in temple-like niches, which in the current version convey an optically unclear picture. In the main field is the risen Christ of high quality , the figure probably comes from the second half of the 15th century, with two carved apostles that are said to date from the end of the 14th century. Above the pillars adorned a tape: In honor of God and confession of their faith, the present altar was made up in this house of God by Berend by Pressentin and Anna Dorothea by Pressentin - Anno 1697, the ... ius. When Berend had this altar assembled by Pressentin, he was 58 years old.
baptism
Before 1551, Dionyus von Pressentin and Ilsabe von Lohe donated a wooden baptismal stand carved in the village Renaissance style as the wife of the church. The metal basin was lost in 1637. The baptismal stand from the middle of the 16th century, which was later placed in the burial chapel, was sold to the Schwerin State Museum on April 14, 1930 by the Prestin Vicar Schlettwein after an appraisal by the Mecklenburg Commission for the Preservation of Monuments .
Today's wooden baptism from 1856 is in the shape of a chalice with marbling and under the three-pass arches with four painted evangelists and angels each . On the edge of the brass baptismal bowl , next to some decorations and the Pressentin coat of arms, there is the dedication of the donor: Adolph Georg von Pressentin on Prestin 1856. The base of the basin bears the cross. On the octagonal surface of the baptismal font is written in gilded writing: Go and teach all peoples, and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
organ
The organ (I / AP / 5) was built in 1892 by the Rostock organ builder Julius Schwarz . It was preferred to the organ builder Friese in Schwerin. The organ prospectus is of a simple kind. On July 1, 1892, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz thanked the Prestin landowner Kommerzienrat J. Christian Thormann, who donated the organ to the church. The Pressentin's family coat of arms on the organ gallery is no longer there.
A small new organ (I / - / 3) was installed in 1976 by master organ builder Wolfgang Nussbücker from Plau am See . In 2007 a small organ came from the Crivitz Free Church .
particularities
In addition to the walled-up portal on the south wall, a walled-in holy water stone has been preserved on the inside of the church .
On the lower eastern south side of the church there is a swastika 25 cm high and wide as a stonemason's mark in a flat, uncut, reddish granite stone . The carved cross could possibly also have been of importance as a place at the laying of the foundation stone or at the episcopal consecration .
After 1895, the furnace came from the ironworks Kaiserslautern probably as for the village church in Techentin also on the waterways to Prestin.

Belfry
A few meters from the west end of the church is the wooden belfry built in 1704, which housed three bells . During a great storm on December 8th, 1703 the church tower collapsed. The roof was renewed in 1959, the posts, struts and sleepers of the wooden structure are in need of renovation.
The larger bronze bell, cast in 1478, with a diameter of 1.07 meters and an inscription: help got vnde xpe uth alen noden: o rex glorie xpe anno dni. mcccclxxiii with an unknown foundry mark was donated by Hartich von Pressentin, who sat in Prestin and Mustin and was mayor of Sternberg . On June 7, 1938, a new clapper was installed by the court bell founder Ohlsen from Lübeck.
The smaller bronze bell with a diameter of 0.68 meters was cast in 1720 by the bell founder Michael Begun from Friedland. On one side was the Pressentin coat of arms with the inscription: SEEL BERENT V. PRESSENTINS FR WITTWE UND ERBEN PATRONEN . On the other side was: Jacobus Roland Pastor. Michael Begun cast me in 1720 in Sternberg. This bell was stolen in April 2004.
A small, third bell, 34 cm in diameter, had neither an inscription nor a foundry mark.
Pressentin's burial chapel
On the north side of the church is built by Johann Wilhelm von Pressentin on Prestin and Langen Brütz in Baroque style and solemnly inaugurated in September 1808 grave chapel of the family of Pressentin. Johann Wilhelm died in 1812 at the age of 60. An earlier vaulted burial in the church was filled in in 1815.
In 1907, the construction state of the burial chapel was examined with the Schwerin building officer Johann Friedrich Pries . The subsequent repair with a modified west gable was carried out in 1908 by the Sternberg master mason Larisch. The widow Agnes, b. Suwe, the Darguner Oberlanddrost Karl Dietrich von Pressentin, donated a considerable amount for this. Because of the better durability, the family coat of arms, shown in the west gable in the Renaissance style, was replaced by a neo-Gothic form in sgraffito plaster.
The burial chapel was in good condition until the beginning of the Second World War. After the war ended in 1945 it was broken into, the inventory stolen and the coffins desecrated. Used as a workshop in the following years, a planned demolition was prevented in 1984 by placing it under monument protection .
From 1998 the burial chapel was extensively renovated by the friends' association and the Geschwister-von-Pressentin-Foundation with Friedrich-Franz von Pressentin and consecrated again on September 6th and 7th, 2008 for the 200th anniversary.
