history
The construction of a Christian parish with the main church in Jarmen is assumed for the period between 1249 and 1269. The first documented mention of the Jarmen church comes from February 8, 1339. At that time, Duke Barnim III. the patronage over the St. Marien Church to the Michelsberg monastery in Bamberg .
City fires, last in 1839, also affected the church. The Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. , Who visited Jarmen on October 18, 1856, donated 2,000 thalers for the new construction of the St. Mary's Church. The plan is said to have been revised by the Schinkel student Friedrich August Stüler. The old church was demolished, only the basement of the medieval stone tower was kept as a vestibule. The church was consecrated in 1863.
Since 1998 the St. Mary's Church in Jarmen has been one of the seven churches and chapels of the parish Jarmen- Tutow .
description
The nave is designed as a brick hall in neo-Gothic forms. It has stepped gables and a bell tower on the west gable. The bell from 1409 is one of the oldest Pomeranian church bells. The polygonal choir and the hall have a surrounding stair frieze and stepped buttresses.
In the hall, wooden pillars with arcades create the impression of a three-aisled church. The middle wooden ceiling is raised like a gable roof. The sides of the ceiling with carved tracery shapes, however, are flat. The polygonal choir is spanned by a ribbed vault.
Three windows with stained glass in the choir are by Ferdinand Müller (1848–1916) from Quedlinburg . The windows, donated in 1912, show the Annunciation, the birth and the resurrection of Christ.
The church has a Grüneberg organ from 1911. The lower, preserved part of a granite fountain, a baptismal font, is dated around 1300.
