St. Mary in Parchim

The St. Marien Church in Parchim is a parish church in Parchimer Neustadt. The hall church is a brick building on a field stone base from the transition from late Romanesque to early Gothic . The community belongs to the Parchim provost in the Mecklenburg parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany ( Northern Church ).

history

The Mecklenburg Prince Pribislaw I founded Parchimer Neustadt on the western bank of the Elde in 1249 . The construction of the representative Church of St. Mary began. The church was inaugurated on June 19, 1278 by the Schwerin bishop Hermann I von Schladen and his brother, the auxiliary bishop Ludolf von Schladen .

The construction of the Gothic brick church began around 1250. The church was not completed until the early 14th century. A two-bay , high-Gothic extension with a star vault then followed in the 15th century on the north side. The choir was completely renovated in 1908 after it had been classified as dilapidated in 1869. The vaults and buttresses date from the 14th century. The west tower from 1310 was modeled on the towers of the Marienkirche in Lübeck .

Furnishing

The most valuable pieces of equipment include the bronze baptismal font from 1365, two bells from 1514, the pulpit from 1601, the organ gallery from 1601 and the Jewish tombstones from the 13th and 14th centuries. As far as Friedrich Schlie wants to ascribe the pulpit as a work by the Lübeck carver Tönnies Evers the Younger , Thieme-Becker notes that this can at best be considered a workshop ascription. The Marien altar from 1500 is a richly painted double-winged altar. The "Hunt for the Unicorn " is depicted on the inner wings .

In 1908 the choir walls were painted by the Parchim artist Willi Schomann . Field Marshal General Helmuth von Moltke was baptized in the church .

organ

The organ was built in 1908 by the organ builder Faber & Greve into the existing organ case from 1620. The instrument has 18 stops on two manuals and pedal (pneumatic windchest with valve membranes). The playing and stop actions are pneumatic. A special feature is the "German Imperial Patent I. Manual = II. Manual": The existing register fund of the manual can be registered on each of the two manuals independently of one another. The pipework is almost completely preserved.
