The Kirch Baggendorf church is a church building in the Kirch Baggendorf district of the Gransebieth municipality in Western Pomerania . The church stands on an elevation in the center of the village. A cemetery was created around the village church, and there is also a funeral hall .
history
Towards the end of the 12th and beginning of the 13th century, German settlers settled in Baggendorf ( Bekendorpe ) and built a church.
The patronage of the church was initially in the hands of the sovereign. From 1655 David Mevius was one of the patrons . From 1808 the patronage lay with the owners of Zarrentin and from 1928 with the Pomeranian Landgesellschaft. From 1930 Kirch Baggendorf was exempt from patronage.
While Baggendorf itself was first mentioned in a document in 1242, the first evidence of the existence of a church in Kirch Baggendorf appeared on July 21, 1278, a Hermannus plebanus (pastor Hermann) de Baggendorp as a witness on a document from the Abbot von Neuenkamp.
The exact construction time of the church is unknown. The stone building was completed in the first half of the 13th century. The building was built as a unit; the tower was only added in the 14th or 15th century. In 1746 the spire that is visible today was put on.
While hardly anything was changed on the outside of the church, the interior was subject to major renovations. Between 1702 and 1703 the interior was completely redesigned and painted in a contemporary way. Pulpit and altar were added. The interior was renovated in 1864, when the stalls were replaced by the ones that are still preserved today; the central aisle was removed.
The church was restored under Gustav Hoffmann in 1939. Galleries have been removed and a heater installed. Hoffmann exposed medieval paintings from the time the church was built.
Further restoration work was carried out after 1990. The slate of the tower cladding was replaced by copper because of rusted roof nails . The paintings uncovered by Gustav Hoffmann were restored and partially reconstructed by Marcus Mannewitz in 2001–2005.
description
With a length (with tower) of 42.32 meters and a width of 15.17 meters, the church is one of Vorpommern's larger village churches. It was built mainly from field stones. Brick was only used as a dividing element, the east and west gables are also made of brick.
It is a building that was built during the transition from Romanesque to Gothic .
A 4.76 by 5.39 meter sacristy is attached to the 8.79 meter long choir in the north . To the west of the choir is the two- bay, 23.67-meter-long nave , followed by the almost square, 9.86-meter-long church tower , the upper third of which consists of a wooden plank construction with an octagonal spire.
The church has three portals. The fourth, in the north, was originally reserved for women. It was probably walled up in the 17th century.
There is a small funeral hall on the church grounds .
In 2015 an information board was added in the entrance area, containing parts of the chronicle as well as a list of all known pastors who have worked in this church.
Furnishing
Remnants of a Gothic figurative painting from the end of the 14th century can be seen in the reveals of the triumphal arch . The eastern windows are provided with lead glass .
The three altar windows were designed by Josef Goller in 1910 .
The baroque pulpit dates from 1702, the approximately five meter high altarpiece from 1703. Both were made in the same workshop. The altarpiece was restored in 2007 in the color from 1938. In 2017, the gold frame of the pulpit was renewed.
The marble font was made in 1862. The candlesticks are from 1884, the large chandelier in the ship from 1978.
The offering box at the entrance to the south portal was made in the 18th century for 16 marks.
organ
In 1840 an old organ from the town church in Loitz , which Johann Friedrich Schulze had made, was installed in the church in Baggendorf. The prospectus was made in the 18th century. In 1883 Friedrich Albert Mehmel completely renewed the factory. The organ was restored from 1997 to 1998 by Rainer Wolter from Zudar . It has two manuals and a pedal with 14 registers .
Peal
In 1573 the church had four bells . During the Thirty Years' War a bell was lost that was later found in a field near Tribsees , but was not hung up again. In 1900 there were still two bells in the tower, a third, donated, was added. The two big bells were delivered to be melted down for weapons production during the First World War. In 1938 a new bell was hung, which was returned two years later, during World War II.
Today only the bell that was cast in 1900 remains. In March 2010 the peal was supplemented by two new, larger bells.
