The Friesenkapelle is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Wenningstedt-Braderup on Sylt . The parish of Norddörfer also includes Kampen , which before 1864, when List belonged to the royal Danish enclaves , was the northernmost ducal-Schleswig village on Sylt.

In December 1914, construction of the chapel began with the laying of the foundation stone. The inauguration took place on June 20, 1915.

In the immediate vicinity there is the village pond on the front and the Denghoog on the back .

Furnishing

art

The vaulted ceiling is painted with eleven biblical pictures in the style of peasant painting. The Swedish artist Kristoffer Zetterstrand made the designs . You can see Christ with his disciples in a sailing boat calming the storm ( Mt 8,23-27  LUT ), the apostle Paul with sword and Bible ( Eph 6,17  LUT ) and the apostle Peter with key ( Mt 16, 19  LUT ).

Altar in the Fries Chapel

The Lord's Prayer can be read on a tape in a rhyming version in Sölring (Sylter Frisian):

Üüs Hemels Faader, let Din Noom bi üüs uur helig.
Tö üüs let kum Din Rik, Din Wel let üüs dö welig,
Skäänk üüs üüs daaglichs Bruar, foriiv üüs al üüs Sen,
Ek ön Forsjuk üüs föör, help tö en seelig Jen.

The chancel has an authentic Frisian wall decoration with its white and blue tiled cross made of Delft tiles.

To the right of the altar hangs a candle ship. It was donated by the former sexton Fritz Hermann and was built according to his design by Kampen precious metal maker Morell.

In front of the Fries chapel is a 2.20 m sculpture by the sculptor Christel Lechner . The work "Blick nach Sorquitten" refers to the long friendship between the Norddörfer parish and the Polish partner parish in Sorquitten , in which a similar fisherman sculpture (Blick nach Sylt) was installed.

Chandelier church Sylt

chandelier

The brown brass chandelier is a true-to-original duplicate of the chandelier that hangs in St. Martin in Morsum. A guest had it made for his summer residence and wanted to sell it through an antique dealer in 1995. When he did not receive a satisfactory offer, he wanted to give it to the Church of Keitum . Since this was lined with objects made of shiny brass, the pastor made contact with the Norddörfer parish, which expressed its interest.
