The St. Marien Church in Görmin (2009)

The St. Marien Church is from the 13th / 14th centuries. Century church building in the municipality of Görmin in Western Pomerania .

The tile-roofed church has a rectangular, fieldstone-walled choir from the late 13th century. The two-bay brick hall with buttresses , which is a little wider than the choir, was built at the end of the 14th century.

In 1869, today's church tower was erected in the west over the older, probably from the beginning of the 15th century, field stone substructure .

In the choir with its eight-ribbed dome there are wall and vault paintings from the end of the 14th century with the rare motif of the mercy seat , as well as Mary and John the Baptist and Michael's dragon fight. The nave has a ribbed vault .

The equipment includes a holy water basin in the tower, an altarpiece from 1722 from the Stralsund workshop of Elias Keßler with paintings of the Last Supper and Gethsemanes as well as carved figures ( evangelists , angels and a crowning crucifixion group). The renaissance pulpit was supplemented by Keßler at the same time as the altar. The organ was made in 1855 by Barnim Grüneberg from Stettin.

The bell of the church consists of two bells , one from 1925 and one from 1753, which was made by Johann Gottfried Wosaeck from Stralsund.

The Protestant parish of Dersekow, Levenhagen and Görmin has been part of the Demmin provost in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany since 2012 . Before that she belonged to the Greifswald parish of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church .
