The Church of St. Pauli in the Glower district of Bobbin is the only preserved stone church on the island of Rügen . Since 2006 it has been part of the Altenkirchen parish in the Evangelical Propstei Stralsund of the Pomeranian Evangelical Church District of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany .
history
The current church was completed around 1400. There was probably a previous building in the same place, probably also a pagan sanctuary, which was converted, as the name indicates; the eponymous Apostle Paul , Acts 9, points to this. As early as 1250, the place and the "ecclesia de Babyn" were designated as property of the Bergen monastery . The church building in 1400 consisted of the nave with choir and sacristy, the tower was added a century later. The Likhus (morgue) was laid out on the south side of the choir in the 16th century, and the staircase to the patron's box was expanded in the 17th century . The last renovation of the interior of the church, in which the flat ceiling was renewed, took place in 1954/55. In 1971 the roof, originally covered with slate, was renovated.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, the St. Pauli Church was one of the Rügen pilgrimage churches . Pope Boniface IX gave indulgences to Church visitors and benefactors . The "ecclesia parochialis S. Pauli in Babbin" at that time belonged to the Diocese of Roskilde .
In 1472 a head of the Brotherhood of Saint Mary was named. After the Reformation , patronage was presumably with the respective sovereign, since 1652 with the Spyker rule .
Furnishing
The Fünte , the baptismal font, is the oldest part of the church and probably dates from the year 1300. It was probably already in a previous church mentioned around 1450. It consists of a round base and a hemispherical cup .
The sacral shrine was built shortly after 1400 and is usually located in an ogival niche in the south wall of the sacristy. At that time, hosts and monstrances were kept there, as indicated by the artistic painting: there are two angels with a monstrance on the oak wooden door. On the inside of the door, a crucifixion group is depicted against a red background with black stars. After restoration in Berlin, the shrine has been back in the church since Easter 2015.
The grave slabs, which are only partially preserved, also date from the earliest times. In the center aisle of the nave, the grave slabs of Mechthild von Jasmund and her son Hermann von Jasmund from 1440 as well as two grave slabs for Balthasar von Jasmund and his children from 1618 can still be seen.
A cabinet from 1600 now serves as a donation chest in the entrance area. The coffin of Carl von Jasmund from 1649 is in a crypt under the church.
Most of the furnishings from the 17th century are foundations of Count Carl Gustav Wrangel , who was granted patronage rights over the Bobbin and Sagard parishes in 1652 . On the pulpit from 1662 there are mannerist representations of biblical figures against a landscape or architectural background: Christ Salvator , Peter , John the Baptist , Moses , the four evangelists , Paulus. There are small angels on the volutes of the sound cover, on top is Christ as Salvator (Savior of the world). A dove hangs under the sound cover as a symbol of the Holy Spirit .
The altarpiece from 1668 shows three motifs from the New Testament, which are of central importance for the Christian faith: on the central picture the crucifixion of Jesus , through which all Christians share in the forgiveness of sins , on the lower picture the Lord's Supper with his disciples , through which the church is connected to him today, on the upper middle field with triangular gable the resurrection of Jesus to eternal life, which is promised to all believers.
On the patronage gallery from the second half of the 17th century, the coats of arms of Prince Wilhelm Malte I zu Putbus († 1854) and his wife Princess Luise zu Putbus, née von Lauterbach († 1860), can be seen on the outer fields . The name of Lauterbach (Rügen) , a princely Putbus foundation, goes back to her birth name . The two inner fields show the coat of arms of the 17th century couple, the Swedish general Count Carl Gustav Wrangel and Countess Anna Margareta Wrangel , née von Haugwitz .
The confessional from 1745 is the work of the Stralsund carpenter Michel Müller . In the fields of the lower part there are illustrations with explanatory Bible texts:
- A wanderer in the landscape : “Walk like the children of light” Eph 5,9 LUT
- Christ raises a man kneeling before him : "I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that he should convert and live." Ez 33:11 NIV
- A man raises his hands to the sun with the name Yahweh contrary , "God be merciful to me a sinner" Luke 18:13 LUT
- Christ with outspread arms : "Come to me, all of you who are troublesome and burdened, I want to refresh you." Mt 28:11 ESV
Martin Luther did not reject confession, only the compulsory confession. The decisive factor for him was Christ's word of forgiveness in absolution . The Swedish Lutheran Church retained individual confession before the Lord's Supper. The Pomeranian Church was not incorporated into the Swedish state church, but retained its traditional canon law, so that its relative independence was combined with church conservatism and modernizations in other German-speaking Lutheran territories were not carried out. That is why there are around 20 confessionals from the 17th and 18th centuries on the island of Rügen. Century in Evangelical Lutheran church buildings. The inside of the Bobbin confessional now had inscriptions that were painted over and were difficult to read. In the confessional you can see the pastor's seat and benches for the confessors. For it was not always an individual confession in the strict sense; due to lack of time, several people were often brought into the confessional at the same time.
The stalls and the organ are from the 19th century. The one manual Buchholz organ was built in 1842 by the Berlin organ builder Carl August Buchholz and has six registers . The two pedal registers were added in 1878 by the organ builder Barnim Grüneberg. The instrument has no paddock .

The bells of the St. Pauli Church were renewed in 2002. The bell donated by Wrangel in 1649 was restored and the two steel bells purchased in 1929 were replaced by new bronze bells.
In the cemetery there is a grave building from 1782. 56 preserved grave cheeks date from the years 1755 to 1884.
