Hohenstein Church
The Hohenstein Church of the Wangels congregation is the church of the Hohenstein congregation, which belongs to the Ostholstein parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .
history
A church in Hohenstein was first mentioned in 1286. Around 1359 this was replaced by a new building with a stepped structure and a round tower. The second building has been preserved in the church seal to this day. In the years 1839/40 the almost 500-year-old building was torn down due to instability and today's (third) brick church was built. However, parts of the second construction phase could be integrated, including the sacristy .
The church patronage was after the Reformation by the owners of the nobles good Farve taken, including (in chronological order) the families: Pogwisch , Blome , Holstein-Holsteinsborg , Reventlow , Waldersee , Holck and Waldeck .
The pastor of the Christ Church Hansühn is also responsible for the Hohenstein parish.
Furnishing
A large part of the furnishings was taken over from the previous building and was created between 1681 and 1698 in the workshop of Theodor Allers in the acanthus baroque style : The carved baptismal font from 1681, the pulpit from 1685 , also carved, and the wooden altarpiece from 1688. Above the altar an older crucifix.
The left chair in the choir , which was built around 1560, was the seat of the pastor, while the officials of the Farve estate sat on the right. In 1698 the Blome family from Gut Farve donated an epitaph , also carved by Theodor Allers , which hangs on the wall to the right of the altar. The church has three loft-like manor boxes : next to the altar is the simple box of the Ehlerstorf estate , above the entrance there is the ornate box of the Weißenhaus estate and above that of the Farve estate. However, this arrangement has only existed since the renovation in 1980, because until then the organ was in the semicircular gallery above the manor stalls on the west wall. Since the instrument was often out of tune due to its proximity to the ceiling and the resulting build-up of heat, the new organ was installed on the side. The door under the organ leads to the tomb of Countess Lucia Henriette Blome (1713–1772), the wife of Frederick Conrad von Holstein-Holsteinborg . The epitaph to the left of this door was also donated by Gut Farve.
During the First World War , the church bells were melted down and replaced by a steel bell in 1920 . On the occasion of the 700th church celebration, an additional bronze bell was purchased from donations in 1991 .
