Petrikirche (Lubmin)
The Petrikirche is a sacred building in Lubmin in the northeast of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The building is one of the few churches that were built during the GDR era.
Affiliation
A pastor Servatius was first mentioned in Wusterhusen in 1230 ; the consecration of the church in Wusterhusen took place in 1271. The places that formed the parish at that time , including Lubmin, are also known from this time . The believers from Lubmin therefore went to worship in the neighboring community for many centuries . It was not until the 1950s that the desire to set up a second pastorate in Lubmin arose. The parish council informed those present on February 18, 1955 that such a position with its seat in Lubmin was possible. Nevertheless, the second position was not officially requested until the meeting on August 19, 1956. On January 16, 1957, the council also asked the Greifswald Consistory of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church for permission to convert Lubmin into canonical independence. Thereupon Pastor Torkler was appointed to the second pastor's post in Wusterhusen on April 5, 1957. The newly established parish council met for the first time on September 22, 1958, with the result that the Lubmin parish was established on October 1, 1958. This separated from the Wusterhusen parish, which lasted until 2009.
The church and the community in Wusterhusen form the joint parish of Lubmin-Wusterhusen, which has been part of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany ( "Northern Church" ) since 2012 .
history
As one of the first tasks, the parish council of Wusterhusen decided on March 17, 1953 to apply to the consistory for money for the construction of a sacred building in Lubmin. At the meeting on June 2, 1953, the council was able to announce that the land register entry for the new building had been made. The council then decided to apply to the land registry in Wolgast to register a mortgage for a loan of 10,000 marks . The money came from the farmer Albert Oestereich from Wusterhusen. The council also acquired an additional parcel to enlarge the property. The building permit was issued on September 8, 1953; the foundation stone was laid on May 2, 1954. Almost a year and a half later, on November 13, 1955, the topping-out ceremony was celebrated. The church was designed by the Greifswald church building councilor Schwarz , who also made the design for the building. The condition was that the church, including the tower, was not allowed to tower over the surrounding trees. The council of the district in Wolgast justified its rejection with the fact that with the construction "a complete redesign of the village image" takes place and therefore "such a tower on a relatively small building is not justifiable". The construction was carried out by the Dinse company in Pritzwald . Craftsmen from Lubmin carried out the expansion of the ship and the ancillary rooms. The inauguration took place on April 28, 1957. However, the building was not yet completely finished, as the church building councilor Schwarz discovered during a visit on May 12, 1958. Among other things, he criticized the arrangement and the color scheme of the church stalls .
architecture
The building is a simple building made of masonry bricks , which is provided with a coarse, white-painted plaster. It rests on a gray painted base. The main building is 17.40 meters long and 9.24 meters wide. The church has a rectangular floor plan with a straight end of the choir . The building projects a few centimeters on the west side. There is also the main entrance with a dark wooden gate. To the left of the gate are four rectangular, dark wooden windows. Above it are three rectangular wooden windows symmetrically arranged to the facade. The facade rises slightly upwards in a pyramid shape. Above the west gable is a wooden, 7.50 meter high ridge turret in which the openly hung bell can be seen. This is followed by a square covered with wooden shingles includes spire of which is topped by a cross. On the north side, a total of three high windows are built into the nave , which are slightly arched towards the top. At the eastern end of the north side there is a smaller door, also made of dark wood, which serves as an entrance for the pastor. The south side is also equipped with four windows of the same type. The choir wall has three narrow, rectangular openings on its gable as a symbol for the Trinity ; Above it is a Latin cross made of steel. The building has a simple saddle roof covered with red tiles with an eaves height of 5.38 meters.
Furnishing
The ceiling is flat and covered with dark wooden beams. On the west side there is a gallery with the organ as well as two three-part, arched windows. The company Kastner , which at that time in Vierow had its headquarters, took over all woodwork including the altar of oak , the gallery , all doors, windows and the song billboards. Over the years, rework was required, which the company also carried out. The wooden cross above the altar also dates from the 1950s. The baptismal bowl dates from the Baroque period and is a gift from the Wusterhusen parish. On the choir wall hang two reliefs by the former pastor Gerhard Becker from Dersekow , which show the defamation of Peter and the fishing of Peter. This motif can also be seen in a Pomeranian fisherman's carpet in front of the altar. It dates from 1958, was designed by Wilhelm Kurzenburg and knotted by Else Manzke and Anna Beuge under the direction of Rudolf Stundl . The antependia , like the sacrament vessel, are a gift from parishioners. The student community in Greifswald donated the pulpit , while the antique glass comes from the Thaler family.
organ
After the completion of the building, there was no organ , so a harmonium had to be used for the inauguration ceremony . Pastor Torkler therefore contacted the Hermann Eule company from Bautzen , which prepared a cost estimate , which in turn was passed on to the consistory. It provided for expenses of 12,000 DM, of which 3,000 DM were covered by reserves. The community wanted to raise another 3,000 DM through donations, so that there was a funding gap of 6,000 DM. Nevertheless, after its meeting on September 21, 1958, the Eule company commissioned the Eule company to build the organ one day later. On June 10, 1959, the consistory corrected the cost estimate from DM 18,000 to DM 23,000 because ancillary costs that had not been taken into account were subsequently included. The Mensurenzeichnungen took the pastor Roessler from Hohenzell. The parish council had also decided to purchase an electric winch from Germany with the help of donations. This was preceded by a corresponding offer from the parish in Hamm -Werries. In April 1960 the parish received the import permit for a Meidinger system from Hamburg . In September of the same year, the Eule company began building the organ, which was transported to Lubmin in September 1963. The inauguration took place on November 12, 1963. It has ten registers on two manuals and a pedal .

Peal
The bell of the church was cast by the Schilling company in Apolda as early as 1936 . It previously served in a church in the Merseburg district until it was destroyed by an air mine in World War II.
The inscription reads:
"Country, country, country, hear the word of the Lord"
Since there was concern that the bell might fall victim to theft while it was being transported from Apolda to Lubmin, the parish councilor and master electrician Ladwig from Lubmin transported the bell in his car to the parish. Despite a broken axle on the way, the bell could be brought to the Greifswalder Bodden undamaged .
Others
To the right of the church is a memorial for the 15 fallen soldiers of the First World War , who came from the community, in a small piece of forest . Two more stones were placed below the monument. They are labeled: For us you fought or suffered pain, suffering, wounds, death . A further plaque was added to the memorial at a later date: To commemorate the dead of the Second World War 1939–1945 and its consequences as a warning for peace and against violence .
A memorial stone for the Day of German Unity was also set up in the forest .
