Holy Cross Church (Bardewisch)
The medieval Holy Cross Church of the Evangelical Lutheran parish in Bardewisch , Lemwerder parish , Wesermarsch district, today belongs to the Wesermarsch parish.
Early history
A church in Bardewisch was first mentioned in 1245, as was an associated cemetery in 1324. A patronage of the Holy Cross can also only be proven in the 14th century. The church was part of the final judgment in Berne , Bremen provost exercised the jurisdiction of.
architecture
Today's church was built in the first half of the 14th century as a three-aisled brick hall church based on a plan based on Westphalian models . The almost square, three- bay nave , covered by nine ribbed vaults, is connected to a polygonal closed choir and a squat west tower without a transept . Covering the central nave and the side aisles with a longitudinal roof is rare in Germany, but common in Flanders and the Netherlands. The two side portals in the westernmost yoke, one each on the north and south side, were originally crowned by Gothic eyelashes . A round window above each. The other windows have been changed in a post-Gothic style. The outer wall of the south aisle has a clearly recognizable convex curvature. What outwardly looks like a second south portal on the western choir bay does not offer any access to the church.

inner space
In the nave, all fighters sit at the same height, but the vaults of the side aisles have lower vertices. Capitals and consoles are made of brick and some are designed as heads. The late Gothic wall paintings from around 1500 (including St. Christophorus ) are partly heavily painted over. The altarpiece from the Rococo period was ordered from the Bremen sculptor Krußbecker in 1764; it contains a painting of the penitent Magdalena . The baptismal bowl is held by a porter figure depicting a boy in rich robe (2nd half of the 17th century). The paintings with scenes from the life of Jesus in the organ gallery in the west were painted in 1725, the pulpit and the frame of the altar date from the early neo-Gothic period , mid-19th century.
An extensive renovation took place from August 2016 to September 2017. On the 1st of Advent 2017 the church was reopened by the Oldenburg bishop Jan Janssen.
