Evangelical Reformed Church in Manslag

The Evangelical Reformed Manslagter Church in the East Frisian Manslagt was built around 1400 on a terp .

history

In the Middle Ages Manslagt belonged to the Groothusen provost in the diocese of Münster . Around 1500 two priests took care of the community. In the course of the Reformation , the community turned to the Reformed Confession. The late Gothic hall church was built around 1400. It may have been built to replace an older church, as indicated by furnishings from the 12th and 13th centuries.

Building description

The church is a rectangular one-room church made of brick with a gable roof, which testifies to a recourse to traditional forms of construction and a decline in architecture in the 14th century. The floor plan is 32 × 9.6 m. On the long sides there are walled-in round arch portals and pointed arch windows (three in the north, five in the south) with articulated reveals. The gables have ogival panels in the upper area, and two ogival windows break through the wall in the lower area. In front of the western entrance is a small porch that serves as a vestibule . There was never a vault. The closed-type bell tower stands separately in the south and is closed off by a tent roof. Until June 19, 1945, the bell tower and roof turret of the church were the same height. On that day, the spire was destroyed by a lightning strike and, due to lack of money, it was only temporarily rebuilt - and therefore not at the old height.

Furnishing

The interior has been closed by a wooden barrel vault since 1772. The pulpit of the church was made in Amsterdam in 1714. Due to the similarity with the Pilsum pulpit, however, it is also attributed to the Emden master Peter Gerkes Husmann. One of the oldest furnishings is the baptismal font made of Bentheim sandstone , which dates from the 13th century and may have been taken over from a previous church. In the choir there are Romanesque sarcophagi from the mid-12th century. The oldest gravestones date from 1599 and 1637 and are provided with coats of arms and inscriptions. There is a prieche with a clock above the western entrance .

It cannot be proven whether a stone rood screen originally separated the choir. The choir is now separated by a wooden wall, in front of which the organ loft is drawn. A Rückpositiv is incorporated as a dummy in the arched middle part .
