history
The year of construction is indicated differently. According to Hugo Lemcke , the chapel was built in 1726, according to the year on the weather vane. Karl Rodbertus dated the building to 1733. According to pastor Olaf Hasert, the chapel was built in 1742. Since the construction of the chapel is connected with the construction of a burial place, it is likely that it was built in 1733.
The manor owner Gustav Sasse (also Gustavus Sasse ; * 1695, † around 1754) had the chapel built on the north side of the manor park on the ruins ("rubble site") of a pre-Reformation church building. The Jagetzow estate was one of the few estates in Pomerania to which a private band belonged. At that time the village was part of the Gramzow church. At the time, Sasse had apparently requested that the Gramzow pastor should hold regular church services in Jagetzow. Both the pastor, who was supported by the consistory , and the church patron in Gramzow refused to do so, as the chapel was not public, but only private, and claimed that Sasse was only trying to steal ownership. Since then, church services have only been held in Jagetzow according to private agreements. When the Gramzor pastor of Essen took office in 1796, he was officially introduced as a preacher of Jagetzow in the presence of the patron Otto Bogislaw von Parsenow . In 1824 King Friedrich Wilhelm III. from Prussia to the chapel an agenda with a personal dedication.
In 1835, Karl Rodbertus acquired the manor, including the chapel and the surrounding cemetery, in a foreclosure auction as private property. Private agreements on church services were declared permissible in a decree of the Royal Government of April 13, 1841, concerning the Jagetzow Chapel. At the same time it was found that the holding and frequency of church services in the chapel "does not depend on the patron's discretion." When Gramzow pastor Adolf Klopsch took office in 1868, the church's view of the situation in Jagetzow changed. Klopsch felt "the relationship between a tacit verbal private contract and a complete dependence on the lordship as unworthy." Therefore he sought an official position in the Jagetzow chapel, which led to a dispute between him and Rodbertus over the property situation. The escalating conflict is partly preserved as an exchange of letters. After Rodbertus, in a letter to Klopsche dated June 1, 1868, described the relationship with the pastor as "finally shattered", the department for church and school affairs of the royal government intervened. In a letter dated June 18, 1868, this appealed to the landlord's social responsibility towards his subjects. Obviously impressed by this, Rodbertus Klopsch offered to hold regular church services in Jagetzow for one year on the terms agreed with his predecessor. However, Klopsch did not respond to this, but took the position that a privately built church also belongs to the community and should be viewed as a gift. Only after renewed intervention on the part of the government both saw themselves in a position to reach a provisional agreement to hold church services.
Before the end of the one-year contract, the Rodbertus government sued the district court Demmin on October 5, 1869 for recognition of the Jagetzow chapel “as a public building dedicated to church services” and demanded “to deny him the property claims raised on this chapel”, whereupon Klopsch canceled all services in Jagetzow. On March 22, 1870, the suit was dismissed and the private ownership of the manor of the chapel was confirmed in full. The consistory of the province of Pomerania instructed Pastor Klopsch to accept the judgment. Despite this, no services were held in Jagetzow in the following years until 1880.
Only the adopted daughter and heiress of Rodbertus, Anna von Lindheim, used. von der Osten-Warnitz, agreed in 1880 with the Gramzow pastor Wilhelm Klopsch, who had succeeded his father, on the reintroduction of church services and had the chapel renovated. In 1910 there were again disputes about the chapel between the Gramzow pastor Olaf Hasert and the then landowner and grandson of Rodbertus, Oskar von der Osten-Warnitz .
After the estate went bankrupt and was relocated in 1931/1932, the chapel property was sold to the Gramzow parish.
Extensive renovation measures were carried out between 2010 and 2015.
Buildings and equipment
The chapel was built as a half-timbered church on a brick base with a rectangular floor plan. It is not geosted , its longitudinal axis is oriented from northwest to southeast. The half-timbered facade was last renovated in 2010/2011. There is a door in every wall except on the side of the altar. The door on the southwest side was bricked up during renovation work in 1977/1978. During the renovation of the facade in 2011, the three-door structure was restored.
The baroque pulpit altar from 1741 is made of colored acanthus carvings. On either side of the pulpit there are allegorical figures of hope and faith. Under the sound cover there is a dove of the Holy Spirit , above it a pelican opening its chest . The access to the pulpit is through a sacristy door from the left. Below the altar block and the altar barrier is a burial place from the construction period.
The hollow ceiling is painted in the manner of a starry sky. In its center, Christ is depicted as the judge of the world. Four angels with trumpets surround him. These each lead a volume described in baroque font with words from the Gospel according to Luke ( Lk 2.14 EU ): "Glory be to God in the highest / Peace on earth / And the people / A good will please."
The ringing consists of two bells that were cast in 1741 by the Szczecin bell caster Johann Heinrich Scheel. You are in a two-bay belfry under a dormer on the south side of the hipped roof.
Two cartouche-like wall sconces are works by the carver Max Uecker from 1926.
