Coordinates: 52 ° 58 '35.2 " N , 11 ° 3' 54.8" O The Lutheran Friedenskirche is a neo-Gothic church in coasts in Kirchenkreis Lüchow- Dannenberg the Landeskirche Hannover .
location
The church stands - typically for churches in Wendland - off the main road at the entrance to the Rundling and is part of the church square with the parish hall , kindergarten and rectory .
history
The church is first mentioned in documents in 1375. Since the Middle Ages, Meuchefitz has shared a parish in coasts . The church is already at the entrance to the Rundling, while the rectory is still in the Rundling. The pastor's office is equipped with a full hoof to take care of the pastor . In 1528 the Reformation was implemented in the region . In the Lüneburg benefice register of 1534, Jürgen Ebeneow is the first Protestant pastor for coasts. In 1548 the congregation built a new rectory next to the church at the entrance to the Rundling. The pastor moves out of the Rundling to the place where the parish hall is today. In the years before 1639 the church and rectory burned down; the pastor's office was mostly orphaned during the Thirty Years' War and was provided by the Zebelin pastor's office until 1651 . In 1851 the bell falls down in the tower. In the following year, the Friedrich Dreyer bell foundry in Linden cast a new bell. Today's church replaced a dilapidated stone church with a wooden tower in 1865. The new building is financed by King George V of Hanover . In 1968 the church received an organ in place of the harmonium.
The interior of the Friedenskirche was renovated in 1998 based on a design by the artist Jürgen Goertz . The church participates in the initiatives “ Reliably Open Church ” and “ Cycle Path Church ”. It is open daily from April to October.
Architecture and equipment
The Friedenskirche is a single-nave neo-Gothic brick church with a semicircular apse. Several changes were made inside and outside, with the church being freed from almost all neo-Gothic style elements. The tower clock is only painted on. The bell rings three times a day to ring prayer . Most of the interior was designed by the artist Jürgen Goertz, who grew up in the coastal area.
Choir room
In the center of the choir is the lead-glazed rainbow-colored cross on the altar.
The ensemble for the choir contains three elements: the altar , the pulpit and a base for the baptismal font or a vase. All parts are made of metal: the altar is made of bronze, the pulpit and base are made of brushed aluminum, the baptismal font and the vase are made of patinated bronze.
In the center is the altar, on the front of which there is an image of Christ looking down on a dark blue circle. The bread to the left of the cross is cast in iron. Twelve slices are cut. The upturned bronze chalice serves as a candlestick.
The focal point is the cross made of lead-glazed stained glass. Colors and shape connect the rainbow (as a sign of God's first covenant with man) and the cross (as a sign of the new covenant). The shape of the cross corresponds to the four yellow stone crosses set into the outside of the church. A circular gold-plated disk hovers above the cross, in which the outlines of the Christ head have been cut out at the bottom of the altar.

Reliefs on the church walls
The walls to the right and left of the nave show two three-part relief cycles donated by Jürgen Goertz.
The relief cycle “On the way to God” is divided into the three themes “Beginning of life”, “Middle of life” and “End of life”. The child in “The Beginning of Life” represents Eva, the artist's daughter. Jürgen Goertz and his wife Christa portrayed himself with the embraced couple in the “Middle of Life”. The woman lying on her deathbed at the “end of life” is his mother.
The series “Expulsion from Paradise ” created especially for the church on the right consists of the three reliefs “ Fall of Man ”, “ Extermination ” and “ Apocalypse ”.
organ
In 1967, the organ building company Alfred Führer , Wilhelmshaven, built a new organ with slide chests and mechanical action.
The sound conception was based on the ideas of the so-called " organ movement ". The single-manual instrument has an attached pedal , with which the manual parts can also be played from the pedal. An independent pedal register (sub-bass 16 ′) is still missing today.
In summer 2010, OBM Martin ter Haseborg reworked the organ.

Surroundings of the church
In 1793 the dilapidated rectory was replaced by a new, generously proportioned half-timbered house, which over the years served as a parish apartment, cattle shed, sexton's apartment and refugee hostel after the Second World War and is now a community hall. It is a typical four-column half-timbered house and the second oldest building in town.
Since 1957, the Krummasel parish has been part of the coastal parish. A new rectory is built in 1962. In 2002 the parish of the coastal Meuchefitz- Krummasel parishes was merged with the parish of the parishes of Zebelin and Wittfeitzen. The pastor has his office in coastal.
In 1986 an unemployment initiative of the church district begins in coastal, from which the youth workshop in coastal develops to renovate the parish widow's house.
A children's play group was founded in 1972 and has its rooms in the parish hall. The children's play area will be converted into a kindergarten in 2011 and will move into the parish widow's house.
At the entrance to the churchyard, the parish commemorates the consequences of the atomic contamination caused by the Chernobyl disaster on April 26, 1986 with a signpost to Gomel in Belarus .
