Quednauer Church

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quednauer Church in 1930

The Quednauer Church ( Russian Кирха Кведнау ) was located in the northern part of Quednau (today Russian: Severnaja Gora) in Königsberg (Prussia) (Kaliningrad). The arterial road in the direction of Cranz (Zelenogradsk) in today's city district of the Leningrad Rajon passed it. It was only 7 kilometers to the city center of Königsberg.

Church building

There was a first church in Quednau as early as the 13th century. At first it was only a pilgrimage church for fishermen and seafarers. In 1507 a new building was made of plastered field stones. The church was renovated several times in the 19th century.

The church was rich in tombstones and epitaphs from the 17th and 18th centuries. Next to the pulpit, the alleged armor of Henning Schindekopf , who died in the Battle of Rudau in 1370 and was buried in the Magdalenenkloster in Quednau, was exhibited.

In the Second World War , the church was almost completely saved from destruction, but was neglected and fell into disrepair in the following years. In the early 1970s, its walls were completely demolished. A reconstruction did not take place. Today there is a meadow on the premises of the building.

The bell (one of two) that was cast in 1710 survived the war and is now ringing in the Evangelical Lutheran Martini Church in Stöckheim, Lower Saxony .

Parish

Quednau was an old church village and had a church as early as 1268. The Reformation arrived here early. It belonged to the beginning of the inspection Neuhausen (Russian: Guryevsk), the parish was until 1945 the church district Königsberg Country II (the north Pregel ) within the ecclesiastical province of East Prussia the Prussian Union of churches associated.

Since the Second World War and after the flight and expulsion of the local population, church life was suspended during the time of the Soviet Union .

In the 1990s, a new evangelical life emerged in Kaliningrad, which in 1996 led to the construction of the new Church of the Resurrection on Prospekt Mira , which became the main church of the newly established Kaliningrad provost in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of European Russia (ELCER). Today's Severnaya Gora is located in its catchment area.
