Roidin Church
The Roidin Church is a church building in the Roidin district of the Utzedel municipality in the Mecklenburg Lake District . It belongs to the Hohenmocker parish in the Demmin provost of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District .
history
Roidin already had a church in the Middle Ages , which became the daughter of the Sanzkower Church after the Reformation in Pomerania . An earlier building was destroyed in the Thirty Years War . A new building that was built after 1669 and was located in the middle of the village was classified as endangered by a visit in 1820 as being in danger of collapse and beyond repair.
It was not until 1866 that the Roidin estate owner von Maltzahn made preparations for a new building. Because of the resistance of the former church patron residing in Sanzkow, the manor Hecht, there were delays. After the design by the Demmin building inspector had been approved, construction began in 1872 on the old chapel opposite. The consecration of the church took place on August 2, 1874.
Buildings and equipment
The neo-Gothic church is a rectangular building made of field stone and polygonal in the east. The five-sided choir has a groin vault . Under the choir is the burial place of the Roidiner branch of the Maltzahns.
The baroque altarpiece is dated to around 1700, has winding columns and rich figurative decorations. Four carved figures represent the evangelists . The altar came from the village church Kirch Grubenhagen in Mecklenburg , which was also under the church patronage of the Maltzahn family. The altar painting by Carl Wolff shows the adoration of the baby Jesus . Wolff, who came from a Roidin family of carpenters and worked as a drawing teacher in Bromberg , painted it in 1874 on the occasion of the inauguration of the church. He portrayed several members of the Maltzahn family as worshipers and observers.
Peal
In a church vision protocol from 1588, two bells are reported. After the destruction in the Thirty Years War, a bell was preserved and was brought to the mother church in Sanzkow. Today's bell with the inscription "Reudin 1834" is in a free-standing bell cage that has been in the cemetery since 1995.
