The Protestant village church Stralendorf is a late-Gothic hall church made of field stone and brick masonry in Stralendorf in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It belongs to the parish Stralendorf-Wittenförden in the Wismar provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Northern Church) .

History and architecture

The Stralendorf village church is a simple, towerless, flat-roofed hall church with two-part pointed arched windows and three-sided east end from the middle of the 15th century. It is designed to be arched, as the buttresses and shield arches inside prove. In the post-medieval period, burial chapels were added to the north and west (the western one from 1770) and a vestibule to the south. The two bells are hung in a wooden belfry in the southwest of the church. The grave chapels served as burial places for von Schack and the Wachenhusen bailiff family from Walsmühlen . In 2005, significant deformations of the roof structure as a result of damaged thresholds, ceiling beams and rafters were found. Settlement as a result of rainwater was found on the southern extension .

Furnishing

The main piece of equipment is a Baroque altarpiece from the mid-18th century with a Last Supper relief in the predella and a crucifixion painting flanked by allegories of faith and hope between columns in the main field. On the entablature there is an angelic glory with the eye of providence , which is crowned by a triumphant Christ. A simple, originally not belonging pulpit basket serves as a lectern. An octagonal font decorated with tracery was created in the 19th century. The column-supported, oversized mansion gallery with the alliance coat of arms is dated to 1754. A painting of the Entombment of Christ from 1858 was created by Friedrich Lange . Several cabinet disks with coats of arms complete the equipment. The organ by Friedrich Wilhelm Winzer from 1856 with six registers on a manual and pedal was moved to the Malchow Organ Museum . Since then, an organ made by Kemper Orgelbau from 1965 in Rickling in Schleswig-Holstein has served as a musical instrument.

Surroundings

The church is surrounded by a cemetery surrounded by a dry stone wall. The von Schack family's mausoleum to the west of the church is a neo-Gothic plastered building from 1854, designed by Heinrich Thormann and expanded by him in 1878. It houses the grave of the literary historian, patron and founder of the Munich Schack Gallery , Adolf Friedrich von Schack .
