History and structure
At the end of the 16th century, with the settlement of servants and courtiers of Gottorf Castle, the village developed. Since the middle of the 17th century, after Duke Friedrich III. Friedrichsberg is called. In church terms, the residents initially belonged to the parish of Haddeby .
Made possible by a foundation of the wealthy widow Elisabeth Beling , a general state collection and donations from Duke Friedrich III. and his son Christian Albrecht , the Friedrichsberg parish church was built between 1650 and 1651. The design came from Adam Olearius . Originally the church tower, a loose was brick - hall building with polygonal Ostabschluss whose single architecture jewelry fancied crowned by an hourglass Baroque portal. The inauguration was carried out on May 11, 1651 by General Superintendent Johann Reinboth .
In 1826 a first bell tower was added. A wooden structure stood on a brick substructure, which was replaced in 1872 by today's representative neo-Gothic west tower. The interior was redesigned in a neoclassical style in 1901 .
Furnishing
The late baroque altarpiece dates from 1718 with additions from 1834 and 1910 (figures of the cross group). The sandstone baptism is a signed work of Delft sculptor Cornelius van Mander from the year 1651, a grandson of the artist Karel van Mander I . The pulpit of the church is a baroque work. It is not composed of an older pulpit, as has been read several times. Five pictures with inscriptions in High German describe the most important festivals. The sound cover of the pulpit is octagonal. The base of the pulpit and the staircase date from the 20th century.
The organ was built in 1689 by Ahasver Schütze , its prospectus dates from around 1720. The crucifix is a work by the carver Claus Heim from 1656. The church has several pastor pictures from the 19th century. These paintings show the provosts of the Propstei Hütten , who preached in the Trinity Church. The epitaph commissioned by Elisaberth Beling for her husband Bonifacius and her son Oswald Beling is not only important for their extraordinary donation and the history of the development of this church building, but also in terms of design an extraordinary work of the Eckernförde carving school in the typical cartilage style of the time; it is possibly a late work by the carver Hans Gudewerth the Younger and was created in 1668.
Churchyard
The listed old graves in the churchyard are reminiscent of names from the 19th century. In addition to members of the Schleswig-Holstein nobility such as von Hedemann or Bernstorff , there are Danish soldiers' graves from the years of the Schleswig-Holstein uprising .
