Tarnow village church
The village church Tarnow is the medieval brick church of the Mecklenburg community of Tarnow in the Rostock district . The village church in the rare design with two naves stands on a hill in the center of the village and can therefore be easily recognized from a distance. This church should not be confused with the octagonal half-timbered village church Tarnow-Rosenow in the Mecklenburg Lake District . The community belongs to the Rostock provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany ( Northern Church ).
history
The oldest written mention of a church in Tarnow comes from 1233. At that time the church was subject to the ban right of the Rühn monastery . The church building that is preserved today probably dates from the 14th century. The Tarnow parish archive records the names of clergymen who worked at the church since 1325. The church is used today by the Protestant community in Tarnow.
Building
The Gothic , two - aisled, four - bay brick church with cross vaults was structured so that women and men sat separated by a row of pillars.
First of massive western tower with a spire as a pyramid roof towers over the little nave. The lower area consists of field stones , otherwise of brick.
The north and south facades of the nave are structured by alternating buttresses and two- and three-part pointed arch windows. The gable field in the east is decorated with pointed arches , underneath there are two windows and a buttress, which also make the division into two naves clear to the outside.
Furnishing
Inside the church is equipped with a winged altar with a carved central shrine from the 15th century. The pulpit dates from 1674. Of the three bells that were previously in place, one comes from the Rickert de Monkehagen bell foundry workshop . It was cast in 1389 and is now damaged in the church.
A fragment of a Vesper picture came from the furnishings of the church , probably from a Rostock workshop in the mid-15th century, in the collection of the Grand Ducal Museum in Schwerin and was sold in 1916 to the art historian Adolf Gottschewski in Hamburg. It was acquired by the St. Annen Museum in Lübeck in 1918 and is now part of the museum's collection of sacred art from the Middle Ages.
