Chapel Jager
The Protestant chapel Jager is a church building from 1830 in Jager , a district of the municipality of Sundhagen in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen . It belongs to the Evangelical Church Community of Horst and Reinkenhagen in the Stralsund Propstei of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .
location
Coming from the north, the Jeeser road leads in a south-westerly direction as Wendorf past the district . From here, the Jager road branches off to the southeast in the middle of the district. The building stands north of this junction on a small hill, which is enclosed by uncut and not layered field stones .
history
At an earlier time there was already a chapel in the village, which was built as a glued half-timbered building. It appeared in 1697 when measuring the church meadow on the occasion of the Swedish survey of Western Pomerania . At the beginning of the 19th century, however, the building was ailing and was replaced by a new building in 1830. In 1988 the parish carried out a comprehensive renovation, which was temporarily ended a year later with a new belfry . The new church consecration took place on the occasion of a service by Horst Gienke . In 2016, craftsmen renovated the facade.
Building description
The choir is straight and has not moved in. The entire area - like the rest of the building - is carefully plastered and rests on a narrow base made of field stones. These are not trimmed or layered. Only in the gable is there a small, beehive-shaped opening.
The two sides of the nave are designed symmetrically and have three large ogival window openings on each side, into which two coupled , also ogival windows are let. The window sills protrude clearly from the facade. At the transition to the eaves is a circumferential, profiled cornice . Above it is a simple gable roof .
The west tower is square and drawn in opposite the ship. It can be entered through a segment arched portal on the west side. Above it, it takes up the surrounding cornice from the nave, which merges into an ogival panel above the portal . The tower tapers at the height of the roof ridge of the nave. The upper floor of the tower is also square with a small ogival arcade of sound on each side. The eight-fold kinked tower helmet ends with a tower ball and cross.
Furnishing
The church furnishings come mainly from the time the church was built. The altar is simple and consists of reddish bricks . Behind it is a wooden altar screen , which is held in light blue and white tones. On the left and right there is a double-winged door with rectangular windows, in the middle an attachment that resembles an aedicule . In the main field you can see Jesus Christ holding John in his arms ( Christ-John group ). Above it is a segmented arch that supports a contrasting color central risalit, which is crowned by a cross.
On the southern wall of the church, in front of this ensemble, there is a wooden pulpit on a square foot. It is also kept in light, blue and white tones, with the cassettes decorated with white diamonds. The blue color scheme can also be found in the seating and in the west gallery .
To the southeast of the building there is a free-standing bell cage with a bell that Gottlieb Metzger cast in 1789. It was originally intended for the Horst Church . The bells had to be given in the course of a metal donation by the German people and were lost. However, the parish was able to save this little bell after Jager.
