Church of St. Catherine (Trent)
The St. Katharinen Church in Trent on the island of Rügen is a church building from the 14th century . The church is one of the brick Gothic buildings .
history
In 1318 the ecclesia was first mentioned in Thorente . The choir, built around 1400, is the oldest part of the church. Only the north wall of the probably single nave nave from the beginning of the 15th century that belongs to the choir has been preserved. At the end of the 15th century, today's nave was largely rebuilt.
In the years 2007 to 2008 the church was renovated and on December 21, 2008 it was consecrated again with a festive service. The interior was restored in the Renaissance style after detailed examination of the findings ; the cost was 119,000 euros .
description
The church was built on a stone foundation. The lower layers of the wall are also made of field stone. Today's Gothic brick nave has three naves. A two-bay rectangular choir of the same width as the central nave stands along the central axis of the tile-roofed church building . It has a ribbed vault . A segment-arched priest's gate with an iron-studded door is located in a pointed arch. The east gable is structured with staggered pointed arches. In the north wall, preserved as the rest of the older nave, there is a pointed arch portal with richly profiled walls , wide two-part pointed arch windows and a deep plaster band. The loopholes in the wall probably served to defend the church, which was used as a refuge.
Three extensions extend the church:
- Around 1602 the sacristy was added to the north side of the choir . It has a triangular gable structured with panels, which is flanked by small pinnacles.
- The baptistery is located on the south side next to the choir .
- The vestibule in front of the portal on the north side of the ship is under a towing roof . It was also built around 1602, has a half-gable with diaphragm and a pointed arched step portal.
Around 1600 massive buttresses were erected on the south side of the nave and choir.
tower
The massive tower, visible from afar, was built from the end of the 15th to the 17th century. It is four storeys high and has a baroque hood, which is crowned by a lantern with an octagonal tip. It is provided with round and pointed arches. The church can be accessed from the west through the tower.
Bells
Two bells hang in the tower, a bronze bell from 1822 and a cast steel bell from 1965. During the First World War , the previous bell was melted down for armament purposes.
Furnishing
Baroque carved altar
The baroque carved altar was made in 1752 by Michael Müller from Stralsund . Color taken he was by the painter Gerlach from Stralsund. Four Corinthian columns are freestanding in the semicircular arch. The sculptures of Aaron with a censer and Moses with the tablets of the law point to Jesus crucified in the middle. Immediately below in the predella you can see a representation of the Last Supper . The half-arch is provided with shell decoration, two female figures sit above it. Two other women stand on the side pillars. The altar wall, adorned with many ornaments, is crowned by a globe on which the Trinity is enthroned, surrounded by angels .
The altar barrier consists of ten armor fields and was erected at the same time as the altarpiece .
The overall concept of the altar comes from the Trenter pastor Jacob Nestius, his portrait is on the east wall of the south chapel.
confessional
The post-Reformation confessional on the south-east side of the choir was made by Michael Müller, who also made the altar. The ornamentation is unmistakable. The confessional came into the church in 1754. At the upper end of the long side you can see the eye of God , an ear can be seen on the narrow side. Figures of the kings David , Manasseh and Saul stand on the corners.
pulpit
The pulpit dates from the early 17th century, it has Renaissance forms. Fields are separated by segment columns, in these are paintings of the evangelists . On the outer door you can see the teaching Jesus . Salvator mundi (savior of the world) shows an inscription above a representation of Christ on the back wall. Like the pulpit, the sound cover is also architecturally divided.
To baptize
Old font
The baptismal font was carved out of granite around 1300. He is a fifth (from Latin Fons, the source). There are traces of old painting, blue-green zigzag bands on a red background. The baptismal font is the oldest inventory item in the church.
Today's baptismal font
The baptismal stand used today stands near the vestry entrance under the triumphal arch. It was carved from linden wood. The baptismal stand was donated by the Cammer von Platen in gratitude for overcoming a cattle disease. Apparently this was also created by Michael Müller. It is dated 1753 and is adorned with rich baroque decorations such as acanthus and cherub heads. The coat of arms of the patron family von Platen is placed between the feet.
Epitaphs
The wooden epitaphs on the arcade pillars and on the north wall date mainly from the 17th century. They refer to the von Platen family through name inscriptions and coats of arms.
In the case of the resurrection portrait from the 16th century on the north choir wall above the sacristy, it is not clear whether it is a fragment of an earlier altarpiece or an epitaph.
Further equipment
On the walls of the tower hall and in the floor of the choir there are some grave slabs of deceased members of the von Platen family. Behind the altar, on the east wall of the choir, there are three color-designed sacraments niches.
Remains of patronage stalls from the 18th century are preserved in the northeast of the choir. Box stalls are built into the nave.
In the tower hall there is a sacrificial chest from 1598. It is made from two ash trunks for the upper and lower part.
organ
The organ of the St. Katharinen Church was made in 1861 by Friedrich Albert Mehmel from Stralsund and restored in 1999 by the organ builder Rainer Wolter . The slider chest instrument has 12 stops on two manuals and a pedal . The tone and stop action are mechanical.
