Tower and south portal

The Protestant Church Schlieffenberg is a neo-Gothic church building in the Schlieffenberg district of Lalendorf in the Rostock district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It belongs to the Wattmannshagen parish in the Rostock provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Northern Church) .

Building description

The church in Schlieffenberg was built as a Wilhelms von Schlieffen Foundation between 1854 and 1859 based on plans by the Nuremberg architect Carl Alexander Heideloff . The church is a three-aisled, carefully executed brick building with a four- bay basilical nave, transept and choir. It is noticeable that the choir and the transept are deliberately designed significantly higher than the nave in order to give the impression of a church building that has gradually grown. The tower is square in plan and merges into an octagon supported by buttresses . The octagon is a perforated maßwerkverzierten spire with crab and finial crowned. The numerous tracery windows and the rich decoration of the west portal with ornamental forms made of sandstone, which depict the four seasons in plant ornamentation, are also remarkably lavish. Inside, the rooms are closed at the top by richly shaped star and reticulated vaults. In the nave there is a three-storey wall structure with arcades on octagonal pillars, a blind triforium and a cliff .

Furnishing

The altar wall and the pulpit are uniformly decorated with elaborate neo-Gothic carvings, as is the west gallery. The iconographically remarkable altar paintings show the conversion of Paul , Christ with the repentant thief and Christ with Peter , were made by Adolf Kreutzfeldt (1884–1970) in 1948 and replaced the original altar paintings by Theodor Rabe (1822–1890).

The organ with a neo-Gothic prospect was built by Wilhelm Remler in 1859 as a two-manual work with 15 registers and a pedal . A thorough reconstruction was carried out by Carl Börger in 1891 , whereby the action and the disposition were changed. In 2015, almost all metal organ pipes were stolen. Therefore, the organ had to be largely renewed with the help of donations by 2017.

A bell was cast in Waren by Johann Carl Ludwig Illies in 1859 and is tuned to the tone a 1 +10.
