The Evangelical Lutheran Church District Lüchow-Dannenberg is a church district in Lower Saxony with its headquarters in Lüchow . It belongs to the Lüneburg district of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover . The church district Lüchow-Dannenberg has around 28,000 members. Stefan Wiechert-von Holten is provost of Lüchow-Dannenberg. in 35 Church and ten band communities with the superintendent , 15 other pastors and four local-deacons. There are 63 churches and chapels in the area of ​​the Lüchow-Dannenberg church district. The church district has on the one hand very few parishioners but on the other hand a high number of churches, chapels and parishes, which are inevitably relatively small. The superintendent of the church district traditionally calls himself provost .

geography

The Lüchow-Dannenberg church district is located on the eastern edge of Lower Saxony and extends almost over the area of the Lüchow-Dannenberg district with the exception of a few localities in the Göhrde community . Müssingen, municipality of Soltendieck in the district of Uelzen, belongs to the parish of Schnega. The area of ​​the parish is rural.

history

middle Ages

The first missionary attempts were probably made as early as the 9th century, as two cross brooches were found in a Slavic craftsmen's settlement on the banks of the Jeetzel in Hitzacker. The region was then Christianized in the 12th century in the time of Henry the Lion . Bishop Hermann von Verden assigned an essential role to the Diesdorf monastery in the Altmark . The Wends were converted from the east as part of the eastern colonization . The influence of the Altmark can also be observed in the construction of some churches. The field stone chapels in the southern district, near the Altmark, are the oldest church buildings in the region, along with the Spithal chapel.

The provost churches of the counties Lüchow and Dannenberg and the church of the Großkirchspiels Hitzacker are consecrated as mission and baptismal churches to John the Baptist . The Christianization of the Wendland started from them. The two counties formed the organizational framework of the mission in Wendland. The parishes belonged to the prepositions Dannenberg, Lüchow and Schnega and the parish Hitzacker belonged to the archdeaconate Bevensen, within the diocese of Verden . The Schnackenburg preposition was responsible for the region around Gartow. The parish of Predöhl and the chapels in Lemgow belonged to the Salzwedel preposition, which at that time was already part of a different state rule. In the eastern part of the diocese the prepositions had a position similar to that of an archdeaconate. In the second half of the 14th century, the ecclesiastical organization was so well established that the provosts were only benefices and the presence of a spiritual head was not necessary. The churches of the cities are on the edge of the old settlement centers, as are the churches in villages.

There was never a monastery in Wendland. The counts kept their house monasteries in Diesdorf and Dambeck outside their territories. Latin schools were built with the churches in the cities, from which schools for the citizens developed.

reformation

The Reformation quickly and smoothly established itself in the Wendland as the Prince Reformation following the decision of the Landtag on Scharnebeck in 1527. The church organization remains. The church games Trebel, Predöhl, Woltersdorf, Rebenstorf, Coasts, Krummasel, Bösel, Groß Wittfeitzen, Plate, Wustrow, Satemin and Bülitz are listed for the Propstei Lüchow in 1534. Only Lemgow ( Parish Predöhl ) now belongs to the Lüchow provost and no longer to Salzwedel. The sovereign rulers have also been heads of the church since the Reformation and now the church border is merged with the state border. Although the Schnega provost's office has been dissolved, the parishes of Bergen, Clenze and Schnega are not yet assigned to a new provost's office and are described as churches in the Warpke office. In the large parish of Hitzacker, the chapels Drethem, Gülden, Wibbese and Riebrau are elevated to churches and the parish is thus divided into smaller ones. The Breselenz and Gümse chapels and the churches in Quickborn, Damnatz and Langendorf belong to the Dannenberg Propstei. Social unrest did not take place in Wendland during the Reformation.

A superintendent was established in Lüchow in 1564 and in Dannenberg in 1569 . The Dannenberg prince Heinrich signed the concord formula in 1577 in order to settle disputes within the church. His son August the Younger (Duke in Hitzacker) advocated a territorial church course. Johannes Schultz was his court composer. A consistory was set up for the principality in Dannenberg . The Dannenberg superintendent later called himself general superintendent . In 1639 the seat of the general superintendent was moved to Lüchow. From 1650 there was a separate superintendent's office in Hitzacker for the area of ​​the Hitzacker office for twenty years . During this time, the churches of the Principality of Dannenberg formed their own regional church. After Duke Augustus the Younger's move to Wolfenbüttel, the Wolfenbüttel church rules applied in Wendland . The superintendent of Lüchow and Dannenberg came in 1708 to the new general superintendent of Harburg , which was later called Harburg-Dannenberg.

A Catholic church was only rebuilt in Lüchow in 1914 for the miners of the potash shafts near Wustrow .

General Superintendent Joachim Hildebrand made a visit to the 22 parishes in August 1671 in order to get an overview of the church and school system after the war. He also kept an eye on the pagan customs of the rural population, which he called "Wendish superstition". In 1687 he issued the Dannenberg school regulations, the school districts of which can be discovered in the primary school districts up to the present day. After the Thirty Years War, building activity began slowly in the 18th century and continued briskly in the 19th century. In the 20th century there were hardly any major new church buildings.

19th century to the present

In 1862 the Lüchower pastor Baurschmidt prevailed against the king and the consistory in the catechism dispute and became famous as "Luther of the Wendland". King George V wanted to introduce a conservative state catechism in order to remove the enlightenment and rationalist influences. As a result, a year later a modern synodal constitution was introduced.

After Hanover was annexed by Prussia, a congregation of the Independent Lutheran Church was founded in Gistenbeck in Wendland .

For a long time the Lüchow, Dannenberg and Gartow church districts existed in the region. In 1936 the districts of the regional church are reorganized. These church districts then belong to the Lüneburg district . The parishes of Neuhaus, Kaarßen, Tripkau and Wehningen on the right bank of the Elbe belonged to the parish of Dannenberg, which in the meantime belong to the Mecklenburg regional church and today belong to the parish of Bleckede. After the Second World War , the Gartow parish was dissolved in 1958 and most of it was added to the Dannenberg parish. In 1982, the two church districts concluded an agreement for close cooperation, which in 2006 led to a joint church district.

The choice of Gorleben as a location for a nuclear waste disposal center with reprocessing plant , intermediate and final storage facility challenged the parishes from the start. In 1980 Protestant pastors celebrated a church service on the grounds of the hut village of the Republic of Free Wendland , while the Gartow pastor Mahlke was prohibited by the regional church from performing there.

The Lüchow and Dannenberg church district assemblies took an early position against the construction of a nuclear waste repository in Gorleben. In doing so, they anticipated the later resolutions of the regional church in Hanover and the EKD and had a decisive influence on the internal church discussion. The pastors and church employees of the church district act as pastors and demonstration observers with church-wide support during the Castor transports. They regularly prepare a so-called pastor's report, which is widely considered because it is a neutral report on the events during the transport.

From 1985 to 2012 the number of church members decreased from over 43,000 to around 30,000. The proportion of Protestant Christians in the district's population decreased from 92.6% in 1970 to 81.9% (1987) by 2013 to around 64%. In 1985 there were 25 pastors in the two church districts. Today there are still 15 pastors in the church district.

With several projects for the regional church, the parish is testing how rural parishes can develop and be preserved against the background of demographic change and the change in rural life. Volunteers in an evangelical academy should determine their further training needs themselves and working people should be able to participate in further training because central events mean long journeys. In the future, pastors should no longer be employed at the parish level, but at the church district level, so that all regions of the church district are equally supplied and pastors are equally burdened or not overloaded by their work. Confirmation lessons are to be given at the school locations and thus adapted to the requirements of all-day lessons in the countryside and no longer take place in the local communities.

Most of the parishes in the parish are connected to one another through a working group.

Parishes

The church district is divided into four regions, in which the parishes work together in confirmation training and worship services, and the parishes represent one another.
