Zarpen village church
The Evangelical Church Zarpen is a brick-Gothic church in Zarpen that was started in 1221 and was built in the 13th century as the parish church of this early medieval capital and for the surrounding villages of the former Reinfeld monastery in what is now the office of Nordstormarn .
Building history
The construction of the church began in the early 13th century with the - only later - vaulted choir , which was later supplemented by the graceful 5/8 apse as an eastern end. The nave , consisting of two arched yokes and a south portal, was built around the middle of the 13th century. It is a building in the transitional style from Romanesque to Gothic; Round arched windows meet pointed door portals above. In front of the single-nave church, the youngest part of the building was erected in the west, the three-story church tower in the width of the nave, which carries the three bells of the church and is covered by an eight-sided squat helmet from 1604.
The church underwent a major overhaul between the world wars, with gothic doors and windows being renewed. The outer buttresses are also later additions.
Furnishing

The painting of the church is late Gothic in parts of the choir, and in the nave it was added in the 17th century.
The pulpit is from the beginning of the 17th century. The baroque crucifix dates from the late 17th century.
The Danish company Marcussen & Søn created the organ in 1883, which has been rebuilt several times over the years. Originally the organ had a neo-Gothic prospect , which was replaced by a baroque prospect during the renovation in 1936–1940. This prospectus probably belonged to an organ from Heiligenhafen and came from the Schleswig-Holstein State Museum Schloss Gottorf to Zarpen. The instrument has 17 registers on two manuals and a pedal.
Bells
Of the three bells, the oldest dates from 1464. The cast bronze with a diameter of 82 cm is decorated with a double-line minuscule inscription . The next older bell was cast in bronze in 1744 by the Lübeck council founder Lorenz Strahlborn in the local foundry . It has a diameter of 133 cm and, in addition to an inscription and decorative friezes, has a crucifixion scene as a relief. In the Second World War it was supposed to be melted down as a material essential to the war effort , but after the war ended in 1945 it was saved in the Hamburg bell cemetery. The large bell made in 1959 by the Rincker bell and art foundry with the strike tone h 0 , as a supplement to the bell d 1 from 1744, has completed the chimes of the church again.
