Reinshagen village church
The Protestant village church of Reinshagen is a Gothic brick church in the Reinshagen district of Lalendorf in the Rostock district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It belongs to the Reinshagen parish in the Rostock provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Northern Church) .
Building description
The Reinshagen village church is a stately brick building with a field stone foundation. The church is an early hall church with a three-aisled and three-bay nave from around 1300 and a rectangular two-bay choir with a straight east end, which was dendrochronologically dated to 1282. The west tower, which is square in plan, is built into the nave, with the side aisles as side rooms on the tower as far as the west wall. Two southern portals and a western portal with a rich profile and leaf decoration in the capital zone lead into the church. As in the Wattmannshagen village church, the southern choir portal is also decorated with leaves on the archivolts . The younger upper floor of the tower is structured to the west with two steeply proportioned panels and closes with a pyramid roof. With the exception of the three-part east window, the windows are in two parts. A round window is arranged above the west portal, which can be found in a similar form in other early Gothic village churches, for example in Wattmannshagen.
The detailed forms inside the choir are carefully executed; the ribs with a pear-shaped profile are decorated with star medallions, as in the village church of Mestlin , and the capitals with vine leaves. In the nave, the four pillars, which are cruciform in plan, have half- and three-quarter-round services without capitals, which, like the vaults, were probably not built until the 14th century. The originally planned vaulting was not implemented in the west building. To the north of the choir is a two-bay, groin-vaulted sacristy.
Furnishing
The carved altar dates from around 1500. In the central shrine it shows a crucifixion with many figures flanked by Saints Nicholas , George , Katharina and Christophorus ; in the wings the twelve apostles are shown in two rows one above the other. The pulpit with the coat of arms of the von Oldenborg family is dated to 1586. The organ with the baroque prospectus is originally a work by Paul Schmidt from 1786. However, it was rearranged in 1885 by Carl Börger and was given a new keyboard. It has 15 stops on a manual and pedal .
On the ground floor of the tower is the access to the crypt of the von Pentz family , who have been living in neighboring Gremmelin since 1802 and who together with the Counts of Schaumburg-Lippe exercised church patronage until 1945. Numerous other members of the von Pentz family have their graves in the Reinshagen cemetery.
Finally, a tombstone of Ewalt von Oldenborg from 1620 should be mentioned. A large bell from the 14th century with minus inscription is tuned to tone e 1 +11.
