Furnishing
Altarpiece
The church in Wehningen has a valuable altarpiece that is older than the church itself and probably comes from a Wehningen manor chapel. It contains elaborately designed alabaster reliefs and carvings and was presumably made in the 16th century in a factory in Mechelen , Belgium . The reliefs show God the Father , the Lord's Supper, a kind of mercy seat , the crucifixion, the burial and the resurrection of Jesus Christ .
Peal
The bell was cast in 1744 in Salzwedel by the bell founder JG Ziegner and is therefore older than today's church. “Soli Deo Gloria” is written on the brass knuckles. The bell weighs about 350 kilograms and has a diameter of 82.9 centimeters. The strike note is b'-1 .
particularities
To the left and right of the main entrance of the church there are eleven bricks in the masonry , which show prints of cat and dog paws as a ban.
