Flintbeker Church
The Flintbeker Church is a church in the municipality of Flintbek in the district of Rendsburg-Eckernförde in Schleswig-Holstein and its oldest building. It is located in the center of the village in the churchyard on a hill sloping to the south-west.
construction
Near the church is a in late gothic built style nave hall church with a square tower . It was built mainly from brick , has a saddle roof covered with roof tiles and a square tower covered with wood. The tower roof is covered with shingles and immediately changes from the square floor plan of the tower to an octagonal floor plan.
history
The construction of the church goes back to a permit granted by Count Albrecht von Orlamünde in 1223 . When it was actually built is unclear. There is evidence of a chapel in the year 1238. In its current form, the church building dates from the 14th century and has been rebuilt several times.
The church probably received the tower at a later time. The current tower was built in 1615 instead of a dilapidated predecessor.
Facility
altar
The altar is a three-part late Gothic carved altar, which was probably made by an unknown master around 1450. It consists of a crucifix in the middle, to the right and left of the cross there are five figures of saints each. In reading direction these are St. Ambrose (?), Anna selbdritt , St. Augustine , unknown crowned female figure, Maria , Johannes , Maria Magdalena , St. George , St. Jerome and St. Mauritius .
In the late 18th century, the altar was reworked (and painted), which efforts were made to reverse at the beginning of the 20th century. Even before the late Baroque makeover, three of the 11 figures seem to have been replaced: Anna selbdritt and the saints George and Maritius. These figures stand out due to their distinct stylistic differences (e.g. size, proportions, three-quarters round instead of flat, etc.). What led to the makeover and which figures replaced the new ones is unknown. The current arrangement of figures is unique in Schleswig-Holstein.
Beginning of the 20th century. the parish had separated from the (still reworked) age and left it to the Flensburg arts and crafts museum. In 1938 after the restoration she bought it back.
Triumphal cross
In front of the altar on the ceiling in the central aisle there is a late Gothic triumphal cross . It is probably at the beginning of the 16th century. carved from oak by an unknown hand. The arms have been renewed in earlier times. The cross itself (as well as the renewal of some smaller damaged areas) are more recent.
Baptismal font
The bronze baptismal font is a work from 1515 by Reymer Jappe from Kiel . It is a simple basin supported by three identical figures depicting a reading Franciscan monk. The Middle Low German inscription shows that the basin was donated by the Kiel citizens Hans Stake and Johann Wulff.
In its original state, the baptismal font was suitable for completely submerging a child during baptism. When it became customary to wet only the forehead of the person to be baptized with water, a holder for a baptismal bowl was incorporated into the opening of the basin, which is sufficient for the current execution of a baptism.
organ
The organ was built by the Danish organ builder Marcussen & Søn in 1845. In 1972 it was rebuilt using the old pipes by the Tolle und Neuthor company from Preetz (see Marcussen & Søn # list of works (selection) ).
It has 24 registers on two manuals and a pedal. The game and stop action is electronic. The registrations of the manuals and the pedal can be combined with each other. The wind turbine is electric.
It is unusual that the console is attached to the side so that the organist always has good eye contact with the chancel with his back to the church wall.
Others
The church is of the Ev.-luth. Flintbek parish used for church services.
The 800 to 1000 year old Flintbeck yew is located on the site next to the church . Two cast iron bells from 1921 are placed next to the tower of the church, and there are two tombstones on the side wing. Church with furnishings, churchyard, tombstones until 1870, and the stone wall of the granite embankment are listed as historical monuments.
