Church in Deyelsdorf

The Deyelsdorf Church is a church building in the municipality of Deyelsdorf . It dates from the 17th century.

history

The church was built between 1601 and 1606 by order of Caspar von Behr, based on the model of the Torgau castle chapel as a transverse church . In 1872, under Heinrich Thormann , it was heavily rebuilt in neo-Renaissance forms. In this year the round window in the east wall, the gallery staircase on the east wall, the south portal, the plaster ashlar at the corners and the plaster friezes were renewed.

While the patron saint reached the church from the east via a separate external staircase that led to a massive gallery, the rest of the community entered the lower part of the church from the west through the tower.

description

The three-bay , plastered hall building has arched hatches, pilaster strips and pinnacle turrets on the east gable. The west gable is designed similarly. The brick-facing tower has four floors. It has corner blocks, a round arch frieze and a pointed helmet.

Furnishing

The furnishings include flat groin vaults with ornamental painting.

Sights include a marble sculpture of the blessing Christ from 1820, a copy after Bertel Thorvaldsen , as well as a pulpit , parish chairs and baptismal font from the same period. The preacher's stalls were made in the 17th century.

The pulpit is in Franzburg . The Gothic Coronation Altar of the Virgin Mary , which came from the previous church, was first brought to Semlow in the Behr crypt chapel via Ulrich von Behr-Negendank after 1870 . After the Second World War it was brought to Stralsund , where it is now in the Marienkirche .

organ

Deyelsdorf Organ Prospekt.jpg

As recently discovered, the organ in its original form was made by Arp Schnitger in 1694 as a house organ for Johann Friedrich Mayer . At that time, Mayer was the main pastor of the Hamburg main church St. Jacobi , where Arp Schnitger had completed a large organ in 1693 . After taking up a new job, Mayer took the instrument with him to Greifswald in his private home there. Her whereabouts after Mayer's death (1712) are uncertain for about three decades. Three decades after Mayer's death, the organ ended up in the Deyelsdorf church. It was probably erected there in 1741/1742 by Christian Weldt from Grimmen and, among other things, the angel on the central tower was added. Around 1800 Friedrich Friese I added a pedal to the organ (violon 8 ′, range C – c 1 ). In 1878, Friedrich Albert Mehmel changed the disposition to I / P / 7 with a single pedal register (subbass 16 ′) and created the organ work that can be found behind the preserved prospectus by Arp Schnitger with a manual range C – f 3 and pedal range C – d 1 .

Mehmel's interior is a technical one-off, which is characterized by its wind chest construction (precision chest). Two of the seven registers, the wooden registers Gedackt 8 'and Hollow Flute 4', still come from Schnitger, and an inner pipe of the prospect principal has been preserved. The Deyelsdorf organ is probably the only partially preserved example of a house organ from the workshop of Arp Schnitger. On the basis of the various construction stages of the prospectus ornaments, it can be easily reconstructed that the room for which the instrument was originally designed closed directly above the central tower, i.e. had the height of a relatively normal living room. In Mayer's Greifswald apartment, the ceiling beams even had to be shortened in order to set up the organ. Because of its unique architectural history and its importance for the north German house organ culture of the 18th century, the Deyelsdorf organ can be counted among the most important monument organs in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It was restored in 1998 by Rainer Wolter from Zudar .
