The Nikolaikirche in the Dassow spot is one of the old village churches in the west of the Klützer Winkel . The community belongs to the Wismar provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .

history

In contrast to the other village churches in Klützer Winkel, the Nikolaikirche in Dassow was not subordinate to the Archdeaconate of the Provost of Rehna Monastery during the Middle Ages , but directly to the Provost at the seat of the Ratzeburg diocese . The church was first mentioned in writing in 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register of the Ratzeburg diocese. Around 1266 she participated in the income of the Ratsweinkeller in Wismar due to a donation from Heinrich the Pilgrim . However, the patronage of the church had been with the distant Ribnitz monastery since 1339 due to a transfer from Duke Albrecht zu Mecklenburg and was exercised by the abbesses of this monastery. The patronage remained there after the Reformation until 1632 and was only then withdrawn by Duke Johann Albrecht II of Mecklenburg along with the other extensive possessions of the monastery .

The nave of the Nikolaikirche consists of hewn granite blocks. The church was possibly vaulted above the nave until the great fire of 1632, since then the nave has been closed at the top by a flat ceiling. The slightly narrower and slightly lower choir of the transitional period from the Romanesque, which is one step higher than the nave, is brick Gothic and, as is usual in this area of ​​Mecklenburg, ends straight to the east. In contrast to the ship, it is arched. In the beginning, the tower also dates from the time before the fire in 1632. It then received a simple saddle roof, which is crowned by the baroque roof turret shaped as a traffic light.

Correspondingly, in the years after the Dassow town fire of September 13, 1632, families of the Mecklenburg nobility on the surrounding estates completely refurbished the interior in the late Renaissance and early Baroque styles.

Furnishing

Altar and pulpit

The altar and pulpit date from the time of the reconstruction after the fire of 1632, but are still entirely in the forms of the late Renaissance. The altar was donated by Hartwig von Bülow († 1650) and his wife Godel von Bülow (from the Wedendorf line) on Wieschendorf and bears their coat of arms. It was heavily reworked in the late 19th century and made wood-sensitive. The historicist altar paintings, which show a Last Supper scene in the predella and six other pictures of the suffering, crucifixion and resurrection of Christ, date from this period and were painted by the painter Griebe in Grevesmühlen .

The pulpit is a foundation of the von Bülow family on Harkensee. It was also made wood-sighted in 1884. The inlays were restored and supplemented by the cabinet maker Petersen in Dassow in the style of the time. It shows Christ on the pulpit as Salvator Mundi with the apostles Peter (with key) and Paul (with sword) as well as putti . On the sounding board that is combined coat of arms of Bulow attached as donors crest, surrounded by putti, the Arma Christi to present Christ.

organ

The organ of the Nikolaikirche in a neo-Gothic case was built in 1859 by Friedrich Friese III . It comprises 14 registers on two manuals and a pedal .

Bells

Three bronze bells hung for a long time in the tower . The two larger ones were cast by Arent Kleinmann as part of the reconstruction of the church after the fire of 1633. Adam Plauer cast the third bell in 1769. Today one of the bells, cast in 1633 and richly decorated with grape umbels, lilies and leaves, is still in the tower.
