The Nicolai Church is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Elstorf , a district of the unified community Neu Wulmstorf in the Harburg district in Lower Saxony . The church belongs to the parish of Hittfeld in Sprengel Lüneburg the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover .
history
Around 1000 there was a small wooden chapel in Elstorf . This was replaced around 1200 by a stone church , which has been preserved in its basic form to this day and was rebuilt in 1704. In 1729 the wooden church tower, which is still close to the stone structure, was built. Bills from 1637 show an earlier tower.
The Elstorf parish originally included the eleven villages of Ardestorf , Daerstorf , Eilendorf , Fischbek, the Moisburger part of Neugraben , Immenbeck , Ketzendorf , Ovelgönne , Schwiederstorf and Wulmstorf (Neu Wulmstorf) . Neugraben, Fischbek and Neu Wulmstorf now have their own churches.
Furnishing
The simple interior is adorned by the wooden pulpit altar from 1701. The black and gold-decorated altar extends with its pulpit up to the ceiling. On it stand the risen Christ , in a victory pose over evil (snake) and death (skeleton), and two angels with instruments of torture . Other themes on the altar are the images of the crucifixion and resurrection .
The oldest bell is mentioned in invoices in 1639 , when it was created by Pawel Voss from Lüneburg by casting around an older bell. This in turn jumped in 1777 or 1797 and was replaced in 1819 by a new bell from the imperial French piece caster Anton Keller from Tostedt . For the victory festival of the Battle of Nations on 16./17. It rang for the first time in October 1819. The middle bell from 1801 - cast by Christoph Heinrich Meyer from Bremen - was recast in 1863 by F. Meyer from Linden and had to be transferred to the Kriegsmetall-Aktiengesellschaft in 1917 for 2088 marks . It was returned in 1919 for 1575 marks. The big bell had to be handed in during the Second World War . When it was returned in 1947, the rope broke and seriously injured a carpenter. The little bell dates from 1968.
The wooden baptismal font from 1692 carries the water in a silver baptismal bowl donated by the Immenbeck community in 1929 .
The mechanical slide box organ comes from E. Meyer from Hanover and was built in 1853. Two pictures below the organ gallery show Philipp Melanchthon and Martin Luther , the latter probably being a Swedish lithograph from 1850.
The tower clock from 1911 comes from the company JF Weule from Bockenem .
A memorial plaque for those killed in the First World War was put up in March 1933.
The crucifix and the candlesticks were stolen in 1979 and replaced in 1980 by new ones by the Glücksburg sculptor Siegbert Amler .
