The St. Marien Church is the parish church of the Protestant parish of Poseritz . It has been part of the Stralsund Propstei in the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany since 2012 . Before that she belonged to the Stralsund parish of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church . The community are also the St. Stephen's Church in Swantow and the village church Gustow allocated.

history

The single nave nave of the church was built from 1302 to 1325 from brick on a foundation made from boulders . The originally planned three-aisled complex was never implemented; a ribbed vault was built into the nave of the church around 1450 . The tower and the choir also date from this period. In the 1980s the church was closed due to the risk of collapse and from 1988 onwards it was reconstructed with funds from the German Foundation for Monument Protection , with the roof trusses of the choir and the main nave being renewed and the tower statically renovated and re-covered. During the renovation work, wall paintings from different centuries were discovered in the interior under the up to eleven layers of paint. Due to a lack of funds, it is currently unclear whether and in what way these ornaments, some of which are medieval, can be restored.

Furnishing

The oldest piece of the church's interior is the altar , a brick cafeteria from the Middle Ages. The crucifixion group at the altar is Gothic in style and was created around 1500. The wooden altarpiece dates from 1703 and shows a communion scene in the middle, above the crucifixion and at the top the resurrection of Christ. The conclusion is an ascension scene. The altarpiece was restored in 2000 with a donation from the Swedish royal family.

The baroque pulpit was built in 1755 by Jakob Freese from Stralsund and donated by the pastor. The confessional , a relic of pietistic Swedish Protestantism in Pomerania , probably also dates from the 18th century . The single-manual Fischer organ with a neo-Gothic prospect was built around 1850 and now needs a major overhaul.

The church has two bronze bells: the older one from 1450 bears the minuscule inscription o rex glori [a] e xr [is] e, veni cum pace (“O King of Honor, Christ, come in peace”), the younger was 1992 Cast in the Bachert bell foundry , Heilbronn, and bears the inscription: "Glory to God in the heights".
