Zettemin village church
The Protestant village church Zettemin is an early Gothic stone church in the municipality of Zettemin in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It belongs to the parish of Rittermannshagen / Groß Gievitz in the Rostock provost in the Rostock parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany (Northern Church) .
history
The Pomeranian Duke Barnim I donated the village of Zettemin to the Dargun monastery in 1269 . In 1327 a Pleban Thymmo was mentioned in a document in Zettemin. After the introduction of the Reformation in Mecklenburg and Pomerania, the Dargun monastery was secularized. The Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin assumed the right of patronage , while the village of Zettemin belonged to the Pomeranian fiefdom of the Maltzahn (Moltzan) family. The villages of Rottmannshagen and Rützenfelde were part of the church in Zettemin. After the Thirty Years' War , the previously independent parish of Duckow , which had been devastated during the war, was connected to the Zetteminer Church with the Gielow branch . In 1740 Zettemin came under Prussian sovereignty and church patronage to the Maltzahn family. The pastor Samuel Wilcke, appointed by the Duke of Mecklenburg, transferred to the Pomeranian regional church. Zettemin belonged to the Synod Demmin of the ecclesiastical province of Pomerania . After Zettemin was incorporated into the Mecklenburg district of Malchin in 1937 , the church became part of the Mecklenburg Regional Church .
architecture
The Zettemin village church is an archaic, two-bay stone building with a recessed, rectangular choir; the gables and shaped stones are made of brick. In contrast to many other village churches, the ship is the oldest part here, probably from the end of the 13th century. The choir dates from the first half of the 14th century. The mighty, square west tower, the upper part of which is built in brick, was built in the 15th century, has a bell storey with screens and arched sound openings and closes with a pyramid roof. The choir has a group of three lancet windows on the east side , which is attributed to the construction period of the choir, while the brick gable rising above is younger. The heavy buttresses are also added later. Presumably the side windows of the choir and the nave were enlarged at a later date.
Inside the choir has a high-busted cross vault; the nave is a two-bay hall building with cross-rib vaults, ogival belt and triumphal arches . It is accessed through an ogival portal on the north and south side; the northern one has five inlaid round bars, the southern one is walled up. To the north is the sacristy, which is also attributed to the late Gothic.
Furnishing
The oldest part of the furnishings is a medieval granite font from the 14th century. Other essential parts of the equipment were created in the 19th century. The altarpiece Christ Blesses the Children from 1844 is a copy after Friedrich Overbeck .
The liturgical furnishings include a silver-gilt communion chalice from the 18th century and a pewter chalice from around 1800 as well as a communion jug from the 19th century. A pair of pewter candlesticks was made in 1811.
Finally, a painted epitaph by K. von Oertzen from 1692 and the painting of a Venetian doge should be mentioned.
organ
The organ shows a late baroque prospect in white with gold-plated decorations and is a work by Matthias Friese from 1780. It has 23 registers on two manuals and pedal. In 1869 J. Gryszkiewitz from Stettin carried out a repair and changed the disposition. The organ was restored from 1996 to 1998 by the Wegscheider organ workshop . The disposition is:
