The Martin-Gallus-Kirche is a Protestant church in the Magdeburg district of Fermersleben .

Namesake

Contrary to custom, the Martin-Gallus-Kirche does not bear the name of an apostle or saint. In 1928 the parish council of Fermersleben applied to the Evangelical Consistory to name the church after the rector of the Kloster-Berge-Schule and first evangelical preacher in Fermersleben, Martin Hahn , Latinized Gallus († 1581).

Architecture and history

Northeast view

The church also stands out from the other Magdeburg church buildings in its appearance, because its nave was built in half-timbered construction. The transverse rectangular west tower, made of quarry stone, comes from the previous church and probably dates back to the 12th century. It has a gable roof and is provided with Gothic-shaped sound openings on all sides. According to other assumptions, the first church in Fermersleben was not built until between 1380 and 1390. It was constructed in half-timbered construction. The church belonged as a branch church to the Buckau parish. Information on the appearance of a previous building is not available. It is assumed that it was a small wooden church that, as a branch church, had more of the character of a chapel. A patronage name has not been passed down. The first pastor known by name for Buckau and probably also Fermersleben is known to be ( Alexander ) Sander , who is mentioned in a document on the purchase of a piece of land from a Jewish cemetery in Buckau on February 10, 1383.

On April 23, 1543, the master builders and the community of Fermersleben and Buckau turned to the council of the city of Magdeburg with the request that Magdeburg should support the continued Catholic abbot of the Berge monastery to introduce the Reformation in the villages . Magdeburg's reaction to this is not recorded. However, the introduction of the Reformation did not initially take place.

The nave was destroyed in a fire during the Schmalkaldic War in 1550/51. Since the Buckau church was also destroyed, the Fermersleber had to walk to the Berge monastery to attend church services. Since 1561 Peter Ulner was abbot of the Berge monastery. He decided not to rebuild the destroyed churches and to make the residents permanent members of the parish church of the monastery. Archbishop Sigismund , residing in Halle (Saale) , gave his consent to this on November 30, 1563 and transferred all rights of the Fermersleber Church to the church of the Berge monastery. However, the Fermersleber already complained about the great distance during a church visit in 1563. In addition, it was stated that the residents of Fermersleben went to the Sankt-Ambrosius-Kirche in Sudenburg instead of the Berge monastery . It is unclear why they took this further path, possibly there were reservations about the monastery church. However, the nave of the Fermersleber church was rebuilt by the Fermersleber as early as 1570. The tower was preserved. Another source dates the tower to the year 1716, although it may only refer to a weather vane that was on the tower in the past and which bore the year 1716.

Since 1563 Martin Gallus was responsible for the pastoral care of Buckau and Fermersleben. Ulner introduced the Reformation in 1565 in Berge monastery. Gallus became the first evangelical preacher in Fermer's life. The first evangelical sermon in Fermersleben was held on September 9, 1565. After services had been taking place in the rebuilt church since 1570, he was picked up for services by horse and cart from the Berge monastery and then brought back. In 1573 there was a dispute about the parish's equipment. Möllenvoigt Georg Klehe demanded the transfer of some Hufen fields from the Berge monastery for the Fermersleber church, which were already cultivated by Fermerslebeners. Abbot Ullner refused and stated that the fields in question belonged to the Buckau church. He turned to the administrator Joachim Friedrich with the request to protect the interests of the monastery and not to separate the Fermersleber church from the Berge monastery. In fact, the field and initially also the church remained at Buckau. Much later, in 1669, the size of the Buckauer Kirchenackers in the Fermersleben district is given as 4.5 hooves. Gallus remained pastor for Fermersleben until 1578. He was succeeded by Heinrich Homel (Homelius), who was succeeded by Gallus as rector and thus also responsible for Fermersleben. In 1582 a sexton named Cubir, who also worked as a teacher, was hired for Fermersleben and Buckau . Cubir turned to the abbot of the monastery on January 20, 1592, complaining that a farmer Liebert Bruning was inciting the community against him and demanding the election of another sexton. Cubir asked if he could at least remain a sexton in Fermersleben. On October 18, 1587, the pastor of the Westerhüsener church , Johannes Starcke , was assigned Fermersleben as a branch church. Although this was actually done for life, Thomas Erxleben became the successor of the Stark, who continued to work in Westerhüsen, in 1592. Erxleben had a new rectory built in Buckau, for which Fermersleber farmers performed tensioning services . On March 27, 1611, the community of Fermersleben complained to the abbot that Erxleben abandoned its community and fled to the monastery after an outbreak of the plague . He only sent a representative every now and then. The community asked the abbot to arrange for Erxleben to resume his office. In fact, Erxleben's tenure ended in 1611.

During the Thirty Years War , probably in 1631, the church was destroyed again. The Fermersleber attended the service of the Salbker church . At the instigation of the Salbker pastor Andreas Dodeling , Fermersleben was assigned to the Salbke branch. Dodeling had asked the abbot of the monastery to do so. After Dodeling's death in 1655, both his successor, Sommer , and the preacher of the monastery, Johann Zimmermann, tried to get Fermersleber. The administrator left this decision at the discretion of Fermersleber, who decided to become a branch of Buckau again. From this point on, the preachers of the Berge monastery were also responsible for Fermersleben and Buckau.

After Pastor Zimmermann went to the Magdeburg Heiligegeistkirche in 1657 , Henning Dankwart was his successor. The oldest surviving church registers for Fermersleben and Buckau go back to him.

Interior to the east

According to the inscription above the northern portal, today's baroque hall building dates from 1657. The interior of the nave is spanned by a flat ceiling. The pulpit altar was built in 1697. The windows are partly designed as small segment arch windows in the late Renaissance style. The larger rectangular windows are a little more recent.

The appended to the east chancel is carried out on three sides. The roof of the nave, which was covered with wooden shingles until the 1980s, is now a pointed tiled roof.

Several pastors responsible for Fermersleben were also active as conventuals and thus probably as teachers at the Berge monastery. This applies to the from Dinkelsbühl originating Johannes Frey Müller († 1584), the from Eike village dating Thomas Erxleben , the Magdeburg Georg Müller , the out Hillersleben coming John Orling († 1625), originating from Magdeburg Henning Dankwart († 1664) and John Sivert († 1680) and from Genthin derived Johannes Hahn († 1708).

Pastor Dankwart died in 1664. His successor was Christoph Koch, who, however, already took a position as a preacher at the Magdeburg Sankt-Jakobi-Kirche in 1668 . On the 5th Sunday after Trinity , the procurator of the Berge monastery, Johann Sivert, gave a trial sermon in Fermersleben. He was then appointed by the abbot on June 24, 1668. In 1670 Fermersleben received a cantor again. Pastor Sivert remained in office until 1680. The abbot appointed the procurator and senior of the convent, Kilian Pötzlinger , as his successor . The order for Buckau was made on April 25, 1680. On May 15, 1680 he was presented to the community of Fermersleben. He gave a trial sermon in the master builder's apartment. The Fermersleben community was given the opportunity to raise objections. The Fermersleber were not able to pick up the pastor from the Berge monastery every Sunday. In addition, they demanded regular worship and visits even during the plague. The order for Fermersleben was placed on June 30, 1680.

When the plague broke out in 1682, the sexton and the cantor died. Because of the threat of infection, the pastor was not allowed to come to Fermersleben from Buckau, despite the agreement made in 1680. Problems then arose with Pastor Pötzlinger. The residents of Fermersleben complained that Pötzlinger behaved strangely in the pulpit and then did not even come to the service. Pötzlinger refused to preach in Fermersleben and to carry out church activities. An examination was carried out which came to the conclusion that Pötzlinger was not only physically frail but also mentally weak. In a letter dated June 27, 1684 to the abbot of the Berge monastery, Pötzlinger denied a mental deficiency, but stated that he was physically weak to a high degree. He criticized Möllenvoigt, who incited the community against him. On September 11, 1684, Johann Hahn was assigned to him as a substitute. In a decree from Elector Friedrich Wilhelm to the Magdeburg Möllenvoigt, this was justified by the fact that Pötzlinger "was not in good hands and should therefore be subject to the cure of a Medici." In the same year Hahn also became Pötzlinger's successor in office. Hahn, previously a conventual at Berge Monastery, gave his trial sermon on August 31, 1684 and was then confirmed by the electoral government on September 22, 1684. He remained in office until his death on August 24, 1708. The funeral took place on August 24th, the funeral sermon was given later, on September 2nd, 1708.

His successor on November 13th 1708 was the clergyman Johann Friedrich Schütte, who came from Magdeburg and had previously worked at the Diesdorf Church . He was previously also a conventuale at Berge Monastery.

In 1716 the church underwent an extensive renovation. Pastor Schütte died at the age of 36 on February 19, 1717 of consumption . The abbot Johann Justus Breithaupt then separated the parishes of Buckau and Fermersleben from the Berge monastery. The new pastor, now only for the communities in Buckau and Fermersleben, was Johann Simon Pappe . He was followed in 1733 by Johann Andreas Eilers . The Fermersleber community turned against the installation of Eiler. He was too weak and had a poor physical constitution that made it impossible for him to come or ride from Buckau to Fermersleben. They were not ready to send two horses to Buckau at a time. However, on October 25, 1733, the abbot ruled against Fermersleben. Eilers gave his trial sermon on September 30, 1733 both in Buckau and in Fermersleben; the final appointment was made on October 21, 1733.

The Magdeburg Church Ordinance came into force in 1739. Eilers died in 1766. He was followed by Pastor Johann Christian Jasper, who died of breast disease in 1772 at the age of only 44. His successor from 1772 to 1826 was Johann Balthasar Werner.

After the French occupation in 1806, the church temporarily served as a horse stable for French troops in Fermersleben.

In 1824 Johann Friedrich Kegel initially came to the churches of Buckau and Fermersleben as an adjunct, until he succeeded Pastor Werner in 1826. Pastor Kegel had an accident on September 23, 1828. On the way from Buckau to church service in Fermersleben, the horses went through and the wagon overturned. He broke his right arm and bruised one knee. Until July 3, 1829 he could not exercise his office. The representation was guaranteed by colleagues from Salbke , Westerhüsen , Beyendorf and Dodendorf . On the occasion of the incident, the superintendent and the district administrator at the Fermersleben parish tried to get compensation for the pastor's trips from Buckau to Fermersleben. Fermersleben offered a payment of 12 thalers a year, but this was refused by Pastor Kegel. The church ceiling was raised for the new organ acquired in 1833. Pastor Kegel was retired in 1837 at his request. He was followed, initially as an adjunct, by Friedrich Karl Albert Friese. Friese was previously a collaborator at the secondary school in Quedlinburg. He was examined on December 11, 1837 and sworn in on December 13. His first official acts were two consecrations and the baptism of a daughter of the cantor Raßbach on December 15, 1837 in Fermersleben. He gave his first sermon in Fermersleben on December 24th on Psalm 102 , 14 to 28. Friese initially remained an adjunct and then after Kegel's death in 1840 he became pastor.

Several break-ins occurred between 1849 and 1851. During a break-in on the night of September 21-22, 1850, the crucifix and several altar ceilings with silver fringes were stolen. In 1851 around 3 to 4 thalers were stolen from the god's box. In 1850 a church visit was carried out. With the introduction of a new church order in 1861, a parish council was also formed. Pastor Friese died in 1871 at the age of 66. He was followed by the superintendent Herm. Joh. Wilhelm Rogge, a brother-in-law of War Minister Albrecht von Roon , after.

In Fermersleben, as in other parts of the country, the parish's responsibility for state notarizations and marriages ended in 1874. In 1886, when the population in Buckau and Fermersleben had increased significantly, Fermersleben received an assistant preacher who also lived in the village. In 1899 the parish bought the property at Schönebecker Strasse 7a , which is now the property at Alt Fermersleben 71 .

Fermersleber Church on a postcard from 1903

In 1903 Fermersleben became an independent parish. The pastor was the theologian, philosopher and writer Otto Siebert , who had been an assistant preacher in Fermersleben since 1897. Siebert remained the pastor of Fermersleber until 1946. In 1906 a women's aid was founded to support the sick and poor. Responsibility for the education of children and the hiring of teachers was transferred from the church to the civic community in 1909. The actual separation of the teaching post and the cantorate and sextonry did not take place until 1916. The cantorate property at Mansfelder Straße 6 was assigned to the parish.

In 1915 the damaged church tower clock was removed. On May 13, 1928, the parish was named Martin Gallus . A new community room at 6 Mansfelder Strasse was inaugurated on November 11, 1930.

In 1933, a Hitler oak was planted in front of the church . Inside the church, a picture of Adolf Hitler and Paul von Hindenburg were hung and consecrated. In 1937, the church presented the with the construction of the settlement Fermersleben involved cooperative for small apartments arable land for cultivation available. The beginning of the Second World War also represented a turning point for the Gallus community. A minor problem here was the need to darken the church windows even at church festivals such as the Christmas service. When ammunition and gasoline wagons exploded on April 14, 1945 at the nearby marshalling yard during World War II, the church was severely damaged by the pressure waves. Tiles were torn down from the roof, windows smashed, and inside the ceiling and organ were damaged.

At first the church was no longer usable. The repair work was carried out in 1949 and 1950. The original lateral galleries and the wooden partition of the choir, which had only two openings, were removed. The galleries and partitions were particularly hard hit by the war damage. This ultimately improved the spatial effect of the interior of the church. From 1950, services were held again. In 1946, religious instruction at the school was discontinued, upon which the church based Christian teaching. The construction of the Hopfengarten settlement in the western part of the Fermersleben district in the first half of the 20th century made it necessary to reorganize the area of ​​the parish. In 1947, the parish of Fermersleben decided to incorporate all areas west of the Magdeburg-Leipzig railway line into the Christ parish that had arisen in the hop garden.

On June 30, 1957, the parish celebrated the 300th anniversary of the church. In the years 1957/1958 there were several break-ins both in the parish room and in the rectory at Alt Fermersleben 71 . As in the entire church, the parish of Fermersleben was affected by a high number of people leaving the church during this time . The number of church official acts and participation in children's services also decreased. The fact of a conversation between the Martin-Gallus-Gemeinde and the city council on May 22, 1964, to which the city had invited, has been handed down. It is assumed that the GDR authorities wanted to check the political reliability of the parish.

The Catholic Sankt Norbert congregation based in Buckau proposed the formation of a joint contact committee in 1974. The parish council accepted the suggestion, so that an ecumenical cooperation arose in the following period .

In 1976, however, the Fermersleber pastorate became vacant. There was no replacement from a cost perspective. When Consistorial Councilor Bischoff moved into the parsonage at Alt Fermersleben 71 in 1983 , he agreed to the condition of taking over the spiritual supervision and holding a service once a month. In 1985, the women of the parish made pieces of equipment for the interior of the church. The result was a wall hanging with the motifs of the Easter sun and the cycle of creation, hangings for the pulpit and an altar grant with a crown of thorns . For the representations of the seven days of creation, the time 1994/1995 is also given as the production period. In 1986 a wall hanging made by the Magdeburg pastor Gabriele Herbst was added, the motif of which deals with the then heavily polluted Elbe , which runs east of the church.

Another renovation of the church took place in 1990.

In May 1995, a community association that had been in preparation since November 1993 was concluded with the Sankt-Stephanus-Gemeinde Westerhüsen , the Sankt-Gertraud-Gemeinde Salbke and the Sankt-Gertrauden-Gemeinde Buckau . The administration of the new parish district was set up in Buckau. Pastor Wolter , who had been active in Salbke until then, was the pastor for all four parishes . From 1996, however, the four parishes began to consider forming a parish , which was then founded on January 1, 1999.

1997/98 started an aid project for the Romanian Rasboieni with a partnership trip .

The Schulze family, who lived at 6 Mansfelder Strasse , re-plastered the church facade in 1998 and carried out repairs.

On March 3, 2002, Pastor Wolter was transferred to another pastorate. The Bischoff family also forgave. In August 2003 Matthias Simon started working as a parish pedagogue with parish duties in the parish. An Elbe service was celebrated for the first time in summer 2004 , which was also combined with baptisms in the following years. On June 30th and July 1st, 2007, the 350th anniversary of the church was celebrated.

In 2014 the parish was able to tackle the thorough renovation of the church and steeple. In 2015, the first construction phase was completed with the renovation of the tower. Since then, the church bells can ring again, which had to be silent for 4 years due to static problems.

The number of members of the four municipalities increased from 1,047 people in 2003, over 1,274 in 2008 to 1,254 people in 2010. This corresponds to a share of the population of the four districts of around 8.3%.

Cemetery and tombstones

Some of the historic tombstones

The Fermersleben cemetery was originally located in the vicinity of the church. It is known that Berthold Pritzel was buried on April 6, 1684. He had reached the age of 99 years and 6 months, which was unusually high for the time. In 1828 the cemetery around the church was deedicated and closed. The site was intended to serve as a garden for the cantor of the new school building next to the church. Several culturally and historically valuable tombstones from the 17th and 18th centuries are now embedded in the property wall. A total of 21 historical tombstones have been preserved. Of these, twelve tombstones belong to the Förster family, which was originally influential in Fermersleben, and eight stones belong to the Mahrenholz family. Often the stones are labeled with long texts. Some of them have a simple frame and show putti wearing crowns in their essay. Particularly noteworthy is a tombstone of the Mahrenholz family , which depicts the Margaretha couple, who died in 1702 and Matthias Mahrenholz, who died in 1690, in a relief in the traditional costume from around 1700 . The wife holds a writing plate in front of her and a rose in her left hand. The man's hands are folded. It can be assumed that the illustration actually looked similar to the deceased.

Another tombstone of the family of the farmer and freeman Eustachius Mahrenholz and his wife Annen Dorotheen Bodin lists six children of the family who died between 1738 and 1758 as infants and toddlers. Another gravestone was set up for Matthias Mahrenholz (1639–1699) and his wife Margaretha Mahrenholtz (1640–1702).

To replace the cemetery, a new cemetery was created on Elbweg. Another cemetery existed at times on the Schwarzen Weg behind the Blumenstrasse on today's industrial site. The cemetery on the northwest side of the Alt Fermersleben / Friedrich-List-Strasse intersection was in use until 1931, on which the Fermersleben war memorial was erected by the parish in 1934 . There is still a public green area on the site of the cemetery today. The Buckau cemetery to the north is also in the Fermersleber district .

In 1998 the restoration of the epitaphs was commissioned.

organ

The parish bought the first organ in 1783 for 112 thalers, 18 groschen and 3 pfennigs. It is recorded that an annual fee of 2 talers was paid for operating the bellows. The organ was destroyed during the French occupation in 1813. On July 14, 1833, a new organ made by the Halberstadt organ builder Voigt was inaugurated. The cost of the organ was 385 thalers. In addition, there were costs for modifications. So the church ceiling had to be increased, which resulted in costs of 59 thalers, 14 silver groschen and 8 pfennigs. The church contributed 100 thalers of this, the remaining amount was paid by the community. The instrument damaged in World War II was replaced in 1965 by a new building from Lothar Heinze , Stadtilm. The costs for this, excluding transport and assembly, amounted to 15,669 DM. The parish applied for a grant of 1,600 DM from the consistory, but this was ultimately rejected after three years. This new organ has a manual and mechanical action .

Bells

Until the outbreak of the First World War , the Fermersleben church owned three bronze bells cast in 1830 and 1875 . They were melted down for war purposes. The first small bell was delivered in 1914. It was not until 1927 that the missing bells were replaced by two cast steel bells, which were consecrated at Easter. The ring now consisted of three bells. After the Second World War, the bell was again completed. The mill owner Böckelmann of Fermersleber Mühle picked up a cast steel bell from Apolda on December 1, 1958 . The consecration of bells took place on December 28, 1958. The church again had three bells.
