St. Martin's Church (Nettelkamp)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The St. Martin's Church is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Nettelkamp , a district of the Wrestedt community in the Uelzen district in Lower Saxony . It is in the middle of Nettelkamp in the street "An der Kirche". It takes its name from the Gallic bishop Martin von Tours .

Today's church was built on the site of a Romanesque predecessor building that burned down during the Hildesheim collegiate feud in 1519 and was completed in 1521 after a construction period of two years. There is space for around 320 visitors in the simple, simple nave with a dark red ceiling. The church is 25 meters long and 10 meters wide.

The church building

Furnishing

organ

In the gallery is an organ built by the Hammer company from Hanover and inaugurated in 1967 . In 2003 it was completely overhauled. The first organ was built in 1867.

window

Some of the high-lying windows are equipped with round-arched and others with pointed-arched window openings.

Baptismal font

The baptismal font from sandstone in the front part of the church dates back to the previous building and can be dated to the period around the 1370th

Steeple

In 1881 the dilapidated church tower had to be demolished and renewed and replaced by a new, neo-Gothic church tower made of red brick. In 1981 the steeple was completely renewed. It was a sensational event for the entire village.

Parish hall

The new parish hall

In 1998, a new parish hall was added to the wing of the old rectory from 1783 and inaugurated. The groups and circles can organize their activities in the rooms. In 2002 received parish Nettelkamp a representation of the Last Supper teak in 4.50 meters long and 1.30 meters in height donated. It was inaugurated in a service . The three-dimensional picture is attached to the wall opposite the church.

Bell jar

The bell Martha

The then patron of the Nettelkamp Church, Johann von Bodendick from Wrestedt, donated the Maria Bell, which is still in existence today, in 1521. It has the inscription: "Maria is de name min help got van schult un van pin unde de hilige bischop un patron sunte martin John von Badendick lenher der karken anno dm MCCCCCXXIȃ" ( Maria is my name. Help God from guilt and from pain and the holy bishop and patron Saint Martin. John von Bodenteich, feudal lord / patron of the church. In the year of the Lord 1521). The name of the church patron of the Nettelkamp church ǮBishop and Patron St. Martinȃ has been reliably passed down.

Renewals

In 1952 the interior of the sacristy was renewed. Work on the church began in August 1966. The roof has been completely renewed. During the extensive renovation work in the church, the crypt of the former patron saint of Bodendick was touched .

history

The oldest known document with the mention of the name Nettelkamp comes from the year 1006. It is difficult to date the origins of the parish of Nettelkamp precisely because in 1782 a fire destroyed almost the entire archive of the parish.

In 1241 a Haruid von Wrestedt is declared in a document. This family died out in 1490. Successors to the noble estate of Wrestedt were the von Bodendick family from Bad Bodenteich, which went out in 1666. In 1672 the Barons Grote were enfeoffed with Wrestedt by Duke Wilhelm von Celle . The church probably dates back to the 11th or 12th century.

From other sources we know that there was a priest Jordan in 1282 . District meetings of the priests took place very early in Nettelkamp. At that time Nettelkamp belonged to the diocese of Verden . After the Reformation had been introduced in the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg in 1529 , the first Lutheran pastor came to Nettelkamp in 1534 .
