The Church of St. Maria Magdalena zu Neuenkirchen is the Protestant parish church of the Neuenkirchen parish on the Lebbin peninsula in the western part of Rügen .

history

The Gothic brick church was built in its current form between 1380 and 1450. There was probably an older previous building. The approximately two-meter-high base made of unusually large boulders and field stones probably comes from this. The building above is made of bricks. The former bell tower collapsed in a storm around 1650, was not rebuilt and replaced by the bell house on the west side of the church.

The bell inside was originally from 1367, making it the oldest on the island of Rügen. In 1901 it was recast and the original inscriptions were used. Also worth seeing are the medieval holy water basin carved into a field stone at the south portal, the current main entrance of the church, and the renaissance pulpit from 1567. This originally comes from Bergen's Marienkirche and was donated by the Bergen mayor Cracaeus in 1775 for the Neuenkirchen church. The altar dates from 1787.

organ

The organ was built in 1891 by the organ builder Guido Knauf (Gotha) and subsequently redesigned several times. The slider chest instrument today has twelve stops on two manuals and a pedal . The playing and register actions are mechanical.
