history

inner space

Hatshausen and Ayenwolde were created in the 13th and 14th centuries. Century as a result of the bog colonization and formed two independent parishes in the Middle Ages, which were subordinate to the provost of Leer in the diocese of Münster . After the Reformation , the congregations changed to the Lutheran confession and for economic reasons joined together to form a parish. The church in Ayenwolde fell into disrepair in 1461. The stones were used in the construction of the Zwinger in Aurich and in repair work on the Hatshauser church. The patronage "Maria Magdalena" was taken over by the Ayenhauser church. A first common church was built at the old location of the Hatshauser church in 1680. As early as 1783, according to plans by Wilhelm Nannen, a new building was built with a hipped roof and arched windows on the borderline between the two places, running through the center of the door, tower, altar and pulpit. The bell tower with a Welscher dome , which also serves as the entrance portal, was added to the south side in 1808.

Furnishing

Pulpit area

The simple interior is closed off by a flat wooden ceiling. The crowned pulpit, which was taken over from the old church, and the altar are located opposite the entrance in the center on the north wall, an organ gallery on the west wall. The altar is separated by a decorated barrier. Chandeliers were donated in 1785, 1786 and 1895. The Vasa Sacra include a Romanesque paten , a goblet (probably from the 17th century), a jug and jar (1899) and a sick goblet (after the Second World War).

In 1792 Johann Hinrich Klapmeyer began building a new organ with twelve registers on two manuals and attached pedal , which was completed after his death by Johann Gottfried Rohlfs in 1793. Further new buildings followed in 1917 ( P. Furtwängler & Hammer ) and 1952 (Karl Puchar). The current instrument was built by the Alfred Führer company in 1975–1976 and has five stops on a manual with attached pedal. The upper part of the front of the case comes from an organ that was built around 1750 by Johann Friedrich Constabel for the Reformed Church in Leer-Loga . From there it was sold to Juist in 1893, where it gave way to a larger new building in 1968.
