Weitendorf village church (Laage)
The Evangelical village church Weitendorf is an originally Gothic, late Baroque converted church in the district of Weitendorf von Laage in the Rostock district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It belongs to the parish Hohen Sprenz-Kritzkow in the Rostock provost in the Rostock parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Northern Church) .
History and architecture
The Weitendorf village church is a plastered building in rustic mixed masonry. It has a recessed, two-bay choir from the end of the 14th century with an asymmetrical, four-sided east end and narrow buttresses, which is finished with cross vaults and is significantly lower than the nave. To the east is a sacristy as a low horseshoe-shaped apse , which is closed off by a semi-domed vault with superimposed ridges. The date of the sacristy is uncertain, but it is believed to be younger than the choir. The flat-roofed nave with wall niches under the windows from the 15th century is separated from the choir by a streaked triumphal arch with plaster ashlar.
During a late Baroque renovation at the end of the 18th century, the nave was plastered, lengthened to the west and extended by a west tower with a square plan with a curved hood and lantern. In the process, the windows were also expanded to their present-day arched shape.
Structural damage to the tower made a restoration necessary in 1993, during which a new beam ceiling was installed and sponge renovation carried out.
Furnishing
A carved altar from around 1500 forms the main part of the furnishings. In the shrine he shows a crucifixion flanked by two apostles and four apostles in two rows in the wings.
The pulpit probably from the beginning of the 16th century on the triumphal arch shows niches with four figures on the basket and a relief of a Man of Sorrows at the foot. A large-format painting depicting the Last Judgment is from the early 18th century. The tombstone of Voltin von Vieregge († 1572) shows a relief figure of the deceased with a coat of arms and an inscription.
Two classicist hereditary burials can be found in the cemetery.
An organ with a classicist prospect was built by Friedrich Wilhelm Winzer around 1843 and has five stops on a manual and an attached pedal . It stands on a simple gallery with a curved parapet into which the prospectus is integrated.
