Stretense Chapel
The Stretense Chapel is a church building in Stretense , a district of the town of Anklam in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district . It belongs to the parish of Wusseken in the Pasewalk provost in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .
history
The chapel was completed in 1909 after three months of construction. The cost was around 9,000 marks . The occasion was the wedding of Irmgard von Heyden-Linden , the daughter of the Stretens landowner Carl von Heyden-Linden (1851-1919), with Leopold von Gerlach († 1948) on May 18, 1909. It was not until June 27 of the same year the initiation. Rittmeister von Heyden-Linden donated them to the Prussian regional church , to whose ecclesiastical province of Pomerania the responsible parish Wusseken-Schwerinsburg belonged.
In 2009 the chapel was extensively renovated.
Buildings and equipment
The octagonal central building in neo-Romanesque forms with stone-visible structure has no windows. The light penetrates through the windows of the rectangular, lantern-like roof tower with a pyramid helmet. The church bell hangs in the porch of the entrance, which is supported by two granite columns. The altar is in a suggested apse , which is painted with stars on a blue background.
Two wall paintings from 1927 show the adoration of the kings and the entry into Jerusalem . They come from the painter Johannes Sass , the husband of a friend of the then landlady Margot von Heyden-Linden. He gave her facial features to the figure of Maria while he portrayed her husband Bogislav von Heyden-Linden (1895–1960) as one of the three kings.
