Redefin village church
The Redefin village church is a neo-Gothic brick building in the Mecklenburg community of Redefin in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It is located in the center of the village on federal highway 5 . The parish belongs to the Parchim Propstei in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany ( Northern Church ).
history
Redefin was already before 1583, but for a long time still in the 17th century, its own parish with preachers who were installed by the von Pentz families .
The chapel is said to have been destroyed during the Thirty Years War . The protocol of the church visitation from 1705 states that there are hardly any remains of the former chapel, but that Pentz had promised as early as 1689 to help the mother church in Alt Jabel financially. There was no help because the von Pentz had serious arguments with their pastors. So after 1583 Pastor Johann Poreb from Redefin, around 1600 Pastor Eberhard, 1617 Pastor Johann Meyer and 1619 Pastor Johann Willius went to Alt Jabel. In 1696 Duke Friedrich Wilhelm acquired the patronage of the church in Jabel and in 1698 in Redefin through purchase and compensation from the von Pentz .
Building history
The neo-Gothic , polygonally closed, flat-roofed hall building with a wide, two-storey westwork and graceful, tower-like central structure as well as the square, almost defensive-looking tower tower was built between 1843 and 1847 by Wilhelm Wachenhusen. The barely three-dimensionally structured external facades were probably created under the influence of Berlin neo-Gothic. The design for the village church was made in 1828 by the master builder Carl Heinrich Wünsch , who built the buildings for the state stud and the former post office there from 1820 to 1823 .
In the interior with a very simple wooden interior there is a statue of Christ from 1911 and a neo-Gothic altar. Apart from the repair work carried out in 2003/2004, the wall design still shows the original version.
The organ, built in 1602 for the Schwerin Castle Church and restored and rebuilt in 1676 by Ahasverus Schütze from Hildesheim, came to Redefin in 1846. There it was built into the neo-Gothic organ front by the court organ builder Friedrich Friese II . The organ sounded for the last time in 1977. The extensive restoration took place in 2007/2008 and was documented in a very extensive restoration report.
According to Friedrich Schlie , the church had two bells in 1899, which were cast by PM Hausbrandt in Wismar in 1845 and show the initials of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II under the crown. These were melted down during the First World War.
