Busow Chapel
The evangelical chapel Busow is a church building from the 15th century in the district of Busow in the municipality of Ducherow in Western Pomerania . The Protestant parish has been part of the Pasewalk provost in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany since 2012 . Before that she belonged to the Greifswald parish of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church .
location
The Busow road runs through the village in a west-east direction as the only connecting road to the neighboring communities. In the middle of the village there is a small pond, around which the road branches off to the north and then leads out of the village in an easterly direction. To the east of this pond is the sacred building , which is enclosed by a wall made of unlayered field stones . Until it was demolished in 1996, the Busower Gutshof was located north of the pond and chapel.
history
The tile-roofed chapel was built from field stone in the 15th century as a patronage church and renovated in the 18th century. The tiled roof was renewed in 1985. Due to the acute risk of collapse due to rotted ceiling beams, the chapel was closed at the beginning of 2006 and poorly supported in early 2007 with the material of the emergency bracing, which had previously been used at the church in Groß Bünzow .
Building description
The choir is straight and has not moved in. It was built from uneven, uncut field stones, the structures of which are clearly visible. In the center are two small, raised, segment-arched windows. In the plastered gable there is also a much smaller, further window in the middle.
The two sides of the nave are symmetrically structured and plastered. There are two high, segment-arched windows on each side. On the south side, part of this plaster fell off in 2017. It provides a view of a priest's gate covered with reddish brick.
The chapel can be entered on the west side through an arched, recessed portal. Its shape is emphasized again by a simple bezel . The wooden door has a striking black and yellow diamond pattern. The diamond is the coat of arms of the von Schwerin family . There is a small window on the gable at the transition to the tower floor . The square roof tower on the west gable has an arched sound hatch on each side . In it there is a small medieval bell of bronze . The tower ends with a pointed, four-sided helmet with a tower ball and weather valve .
Furnishing
The pulpit of the church dates from the second half of the 17th century. It is dark brown and shows the paintings of the four evangelists on the basket . In the 19th century sat parish it a pulpit altar together. Above it is a sound cover with a dove of peace. The gallery is kept simple; the cassettes in contrasting olive tones. Other church furnishings include an oil painting showing Paulus von Tarsus , as well as candlesticks that were donated to Busow by a parish in Lüdenscheid in 1993.
To the north-west of the church there are iron grave crosses belonging to the von Schwerin family in the cemetery. These include memorial plaques for the Prussian general of the Frederician era Otto Magnus (Martin) von Schwerin (1701–1777) and the last Busower squire, Karl Josef Graf von Schwerin (1895–1941). The facility was built on the initiative of Hermann Heinrich Karl Kurt Graf von Schwerin (1807–1846) and his sister Mathilde, who died in 1848.
