The Marienkirche is a listed village church in the village of Nübel in the Schleswig-Flensburg district in Schleswig-Holstein . It is surrounded on the north and west by a cemetery; on the southern and eastern sides, the area is bounded by a stone wall. The church can accommodate up to 120 visitors. It belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Nübel in the northern church . The building, the roof of which is considered to be in acute danger of collapsing, has been closed since August 15, 2019.

prehistory

Bishop Waldemar von Schleswig founded the Cistercian monastery Guldholm on the Langsee in 1191/92 . He transferred the tithe from the parish of Nübel to the monks living there . The little church either already existed or was under construction. The patronage was with the Schleswig Cathedral Chapter , so the client must have been there too.

Building the church

At the Schleswig Cathedral , building the transept wings with bricks began around 1180. With this construction technique, which was new at the time, the choir and the east wall of the nave in Nübel with the narrow, round choir arch and the side altar niches flanking it were built. The Nübel church can therefore be seen as the oldest brick building in fishing .

Since the local builders were not familiar with this technology, the subsequent construction was carried out using the previously customary field stone construction method. Small Romanesque arched windows can only be found today on the north and east walls of the choir and on the north side of the nave. The large segmented arched windows framed by multiple stepped brick reveals as well as the pointed arched south portal with the large late Gothic vestibule were built around the 15th century.

A little later, around 1500, the flat beamed ceilings were replaced by the deep ribbed vaults that characterize the interior today, and a spiral staircase was built into the northwest corner. Damage to the masonry led to the addition of two strong granite support pillars and, in 1734, to the granite facing of the west wall. The year is represented by decorative anchors.

Furnishing

Remains of the medieval furnishings are on the one hand late Gothic wooden sculptures of a St. Jürgen group and a St. Dionysius , which are now in the State Museum for Art and Cultural History at Gottorf Castle in Schleswig , on the other hand the cup of the Romanesque stone baptism, which is now an exhibit in the city Museum Schleswig is.

Figures of apostles in flowing robes stand on the parapet of the late Baroque pulpit from 1786. The crucifix in the choir arch, the chandelier and the altar candlestick are handcrafted works of recent times (19th century), the lectern and the stand of the baptismal bowl are ironwork from the 20th century.

In front of the altar is the tombstone (red sandstone) of Gerdt von der Lieth, administrator of the Schleswig cathedral chapter, who died in 1673, and his wife. On the north wall of the nave, the oak memorial plaque, carved after 1864 by Peter Clausen, Heineberg, commemorates the victims of the Schleswig-Holstein uprising 1848–51. At the exit an eight-sided, hollowed-out oak beam as a sacrificial stock, secured by wide iron bands and a padlock, for which three keys are required.

The picture of the risen Christ by the Berlin painter Lange was once part of a neo-Gothic altarpiece donated by the Prussian government in 1874.

organ

The organ of the Marcussen workshop , Aabenraa, has been playing on the west gallery, built in 1787 , behind a neo-Gothic prospect since 1873 . The instrument has 7 manual registers and one pedal register . The original principal pipes in the prospectus had to be handed in during the First World War , they were replaced by tin pipes. Since 1991 the register has been playing with pewter pipes again.

Bell tower

The stack of bells stands individually to the northwest of the church

The church has a free-standing wooden bell tower, a so-called bell stack . It received its current form with the unusual hinged gable roof in 1765 using the load-bearing structure of a predecessor from the 16th century. After 1882 the two larger bells (from 1623 and 1767) disappeared, since then the chiming has consisted of two cast steel bells from the Bochumer Verein . A smaller measuring bell had to be handed in during the Second World War . The bell tower is also a listed building.
