The Marienkirche is the town church in the historic town center in the district Ribnitz in Ribnitz-Damgarten in the district of Vorpommern-Rügen in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern . The community belongs to the Rostock provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany ( Northern Church ).

Chronicle and description

Ribnitz is first mentioned in a document from 1233. In the second quarter of the 13th century, the original three-aisled late Romanesque hall church was laid out, similar in plan to the town church in Gadebusch . This brick building is only recognizable as a remainder in the western part, namely in the form of the round arch frieze and the pair of lancet windows on the north side.

The church has been rebuilt many times. In the 14th century, the additions to the east followed by two yokes with external struts . The two preserved pointed arch portals in the longitudinal walls also date from this period. A fire in 1455 led to major, uniform redesigns. The choir with a yoke and a three-aisled gallery was added, with the struts being placed inwards here. On the north and south sides there is a broad-pointed arch portal from the 14th century decorated with glazed stones. The mansard roof over the nave was built after a fire in 1759.

The massive, square west tower was not built until after the fire of 1455. It has three floors. The two upper floors have surrounding rows of panels and tracery friezes . The curly, Baroque dome on the tower is crowned by a neo-Gothic lantern with a pointed spire from the years 1841-1843, designed by the Schwerin court architect Georg Adolf Demmler .

Bells

In the tower has four bells, the oldest dating back to 1927. The so-called fish country bell was the goldsmith Walter Kramer donated and on 8 December 1946 consecrated . Two of the three original church bells were dismantled in 1942 and melted down to make ammunition . After the Second World War gathered Kramer on a former flak position at the high shore near Ahrenshoop empty basement - cartridges to be pouring from the fish farm bell. It bears the inscription "Oh + Land + Land + Land + HEAR + DES + LORD + WORD". In 2006, two bells from the Perner bell foundry were added.

Interior design

The interior is being renovated. You can see the otherwise brick-lined and plastered half-timbered pillars made of oak (in the background two pillars in their original state).

The simple interior design was shaped by the renovation measures from the time after the fire of 1759, when the Gothic vaults were lost. The appearance is determined by the seven square pillars (lined oak and plastered half-timbered columns), the segmented arcades , the wooden barrel vault over the central nave and the wooden flat ceilings over the aisles. The ambulatory is separated from the side aisles by a half-height wall.

Furnishing

The wooden altarpiece in the choir dates from 1781. It has a wide cornice and above it a glory of rays with the eye of God and the evangelists between the columns. The altarpiece by the court painter Johann Heinrich Suhrlandt shows the lamentation of Christ. At the same time the wooden pulpit was built. Two portraits of pastors from the 18th and 19th centuries can also be seen.
