The Marien-Kirche is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Süderlügum . It was first mentioned in 1240. It is the younger of the two churches in the Süderlügum-Humptrup parish.

history
The church was built around 1200 on an Ice Age sand hill in the form of a Romanesque cemetery chapel. At that time it was still serving as a subsidiary church of Humptrup . She was consecrated to Mary , the Mother of God
Around 1500 the church was expanded to its present size. The choir was doubled. The nave was also lengthened and the Romanesque beam ceiling was replaced by a Gothic vault . The first vault paintings, which were completed during the Reformation , were also made during this time. The first bell tower was also erected at this time .
Between 1623 and 1720 three pastors from the Claudius family, ancestors of the poet Matthias Claudius , succeeded one another: Johannes Claudius (1601–1649), his son Peter († 1682) and his son Nikolaus (Claus) (1656–1720), the grandfather of the poet. Their portraits and those of their wives are in the church. After the death of Claus Claudius, the community wanted to appoint one of his sons again as his successor. However, bailiff Johann Georg von Holstein wanted to prevent preaching dynasties and ordered them to choose one of the pietistic candidates put up for election by the king . Nevertheless, there was a fourth pastor with the last name Claudius: From 1787 to 1798, Andreas Claudius, a grandson of Claus Claudius and cousin of the poet, held office.
In 1777 the Karnhaus , now used as the main entrance, was added, and in 1894 the first heating system was installed. In the years 1929/30 the church was completely restored and the vault paintings, which had been whitewashed up to that point, were exposed again and partially supplemented in the appropriate style. In 2015, the church was renovated for the installation of the new organ: the heating and lighting were renewed, the walls were whitewashed, the historic floor was exposed and the rows of pews and galleries were painted in the historic color scheme.
Furnishing
The painting of the vault shows a late Gothic Last Judgment in the first yoke of the nave . The remaining paintings are scenes from the life of Jesus, which were created towards the end of the 16th century.
The oldest piece of equipment is the granite baptism from the 12th / 13th centuries. Century. Most of the medieval furnishings were lost. In 1905 the community sold some remains to the Flensburg Museum of Applied Arts . In connection with the exhibition Faith. Places. Art , some works of art, including a crucifixion group from 1500, a group of apostles from 1420, and a copy of a papal figure, returned to St. Mary's Church.
After the Reformation , the Marienkirche got a pulpit from the Ringerink School in Flensburg (1610). When the Thirty Years War one a clock (not available): was over, the church "to the glory of God and the ornament of the Church" was much donated chalice and paten , which are still in use, and the baroque altar construction with auricular from Oak wood (1647). This is attributed to C. Gabriel from Flensburg. It was restored in 1990. The panel shows the Last Supper.
The oval portraits of the Claudius pastors and their wives from an epitaph created around 1700 hang today on the south wall of the nave . In the 18th century, both new chairs and the number plates that are still in use today came into the church. On the north wall of the nave there is a painting of Pastor Peträus, who was in office from 1721 to 1735, which was made in thanks for his relief for the poor.
