The Maria Magdalenen Church in Malente is the church in the municipality of Malente in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein . It is located in the center of the village, surrounded by the (former) Kirchanger . It is the oldest building in Malente and is used today by the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Malente for services.
building
It is a single-nave hall church made of red brick and field stones , approx. 35 m long and approx. 15 m wide. The nave has two wide and one small window on each side, the walls are made of field stones and surfaces are made of bricks. On the south side, the outer wall is reinforced by two retaining walls.
The adjoining choir also has a window and an annex ( sacristy ) on each side - the masonry consists of brick and field stones - three retaining walls reinforce the rear wall of the choir, in the upper part of which arches in the early Gothic style can be seen. The nave and the choir will be a two-piece, with red roof tiles roofed gable roof covered.
The church has a tower in the neo-Gothic style that towers over the roof of the nave. This has a square floor plan and is completed by a pointed octagonal tower dome. The tower was built from red brick - when it was built, the nave was lengthened on both sides (recognizable by the difference in the building material), so that only a third of the tower protrudes from the structure. There is a door to the west of the tower.
history
The current church was essentially built in two phases: While the church building dates back to the 13th century , the tower was added in 1893.
The church was built in the 13th century as a result of the Battle of Bornhöved in 1227, in which Count Adolf IV is said to have asked Maria Magdalena for assistance in a prayer . After the victory he donated u. a. Churches - to which the building of the church is attributed, which was done in the style of the early Gothic. Due to the chosen building material, the Maria Magdalenen Church is one of the field stone churches typical of eastern Holstein .
The octagonal, Gothic granite holy water stoup dates back to the early days of the church and only returned to the church about 80 years ago. Hinrich Rodingk's sermon pulpit dates back to 1629 and was a gift from the church jury and the pastor at the time. The pulpit door is adorned with an image of a bishop in a hybrid of Romanesque and Gothic art. The prayer bell from the pre-Reformation period, which can be found on the right in the chancel today, according to the inscription and the year 1516, was used three times a day to exhort the faithful to pray for a salvation of the West during the Turkish wars . The current altar was carved around 1900 by the grand ducal Eutin court carpenter.
Until the end of the 19th century , the church did not have a tower, but - at least in the end - a wooden campanile . In 1893 this was replaced by the current church tower , built in the neo-Gothic style, with the nave being slightly lengthened on the west side.
