history

The St. Marien Church in Waase was first mentioned in 1322 as Ecclesia Omanz and operated as an independent parish office. In 1341 the church was subordinated to the Heilgeisthospital in Stralsund .

Some modifications were made in the 15th century. The east wall of the nave , the sacristy and the choir date from the middle of the century and the west wall of the nave was built around 1500.

Furnishing

The Antwerp retable is a valuable piece of equipment . It is a late Gothic convertible retable that was made around 1520 on behalf of the Schwerin bishopric administrator Zutfeld Wardenberg . Wardenberg was Archdeacon of Tribsees and was considered a great admirer of Thomas. This originally stood on the lay altar S. Crucis in the Stralsund St. Nikolai Church , where Wardenberg maintained a stately beneficium . In 1702 it was dismantled in the course of the redesign of their choir screen and sold for fifty thalers to their parochial church in Waase on Ummanz. The altar shows scenes from the Passion story as well as from the life of Thomas Becket , Lord Chancellor of the English King Henry II. A total of twelve panel pictures can be seen on the wings of the altar, six in the opened state, six in the closed state

Around the same time there was a medieval shrine on the high altar with the saints Anna Selbdritt , Maria and Katharina , which is currently in the Stralsund Museum as well as the elaborately designed early Gothic baptismal font from Gotland Limestone. In the church, the sacrament shrine from the 15th century on the east wall of the church, the bronze candlestick in front of the choir arch (also 15th century) and the separate bell tower next to the church have been preserved. The renaissance pulpit dates from 1572.
