The Evangelical Church in Wankendorf is the parish church of the Wankendorf parish , which belongs to the Plön-Segeberg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .
Building history
After the parish of Wankendorf had been separated from Bornhöved in 1892 , planning began to build its own church. The middle between the villages of Wankendorf and Stolpe , which belong to the municipality, was chosen as the location . On August 3, 1894, the foundation stone was laid for the building according to plans by the Hamburg architect Hugo Groothoff . On December 16, 1894, the church was consecrated by the general superintendent Justus Ruperti .
description
The neo-Gothic church building made of red brick was built on a cross-shaped floor plan with a rectangular choir . There is no church tower , instead there is a roof turret with a belfry over the crossing . A sacristy is added to the south-east of the choir.
The windows are predominantly ogival , but rounded in the transept . On the west side is the main portal with a circlet , smaller secondary portals are located under large round windows in the facades of the transept.
Stylistically, the Wankendorfer church is similar to the church in Aukrug-Innien that Groothoff had planned . The dimensions and proportions of the rural church buildings he subsequently built in Brokstedt , Hamburg-Eidelstedt and Hennstedt are roughly the same.
Interior
The wooden pulpit has been preserved from the time the church was built . The original baptismal font was stolen in 1915 and replaced by a piece made around 1900. The stained glass windows in the choir windows depicting the Ascension of Christ date from 1914.
