Johanniskirche (Krummesse)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The St. John's Church

The St. Johanniskirche in Lauenburgisch - Lübschen Krummesse is a brick-Gothic village church . It is the church of the Evangelical Lutheran Parish Krummesse in the Holstein-Lübeck district of the North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church .

History and description of the building

The Johanniskirche was built from 1230 on the high bank of the Stecknitz , which was then expanded in the Middle Ages first to the Stecknitz Canal and at the end of the 19th century to the Elbe-Lübeck Canal . The oldest part of the church is its square choir. This construction method, which is typical for rural church construction in Saxony-Lauenburg, is one of the main differences to the somewhat older Vizelinkirchen in the Holstein area north of Lübeck. A special feature for comparable churches in Schleswig-Holstein is the two-aisled nave with three bays on two central pillars. The tower was put in front around 1400, so that the original outer portal has been an inner door ever since. The round arches of the tower windows are untypical of the late Gothic.

Furnishing

The church furnishings are predominantly baroque . The church has an impressive triumphal cross .

organ

Vogel organ from 1767

Around 1767 the organ was installed by Matthias Joachim Vogel. The instrument has 21 registers , which are divided into two manuals and pedal . The polygonal central tower is joined by two two-story flat fields, which are flanked on the sides by pointed towers. The richly profiled cornices are crowned by carvings, which also decorate the instrument on the sides in the form of so-called "organ ears". After the Marcussen and Kemper companies had exchanged a few votes, Klaus Becker carried out a renovation in 1967. Almost half of the registers are still original, including the principal 8 ′ in the prospectus , whose labia are painted with gilded masks.
