History and description
Christianization
From 1124/25 and 1128 succeeded on behalf of Duke Bolesław III. Wrymouth to Bishop Otto von Bamberg , the apostle of the Pomerania , the Christianization of Pomerania through two mission trips .
In 1165, Duke Casimir I of Pomerania is said to have signed a document in the simple wooden church of Trebethowe . A previous church is documented in 1175. It could have stood on the monastery mountain and is said to have been dedicated to Mary . From 1173 to 1239 there was also a nunnery there. In 1245 Tributowe was first mentioned as a town when it was granted town charter.
Hall church from the 14th / 15th centuries century
The St. Peter Church dates from the beginning of the 14th and 15th centuries. Some wooden components date from 1318. The brick building in the Gothic style was started with a three-aisled hall of four bays in the 14th century. Octagonal pillars with round bars in the corners support the simple ribbed vault . The wide arches are stepped. As in the Greifswald St. Marien Church , a straight end was initially planned on the east wall.
The tower
The massive, square, three-story tower in the middle of the west side from the 14th / 15th centuries. The century is sparsely structured. Originally, the then 90 meter high tower had a high pointed helmet at the end, which was destroyed in a devastating city fire. From 1773 the now 65 meter high tower has a small, simple baroque , octagonal, partially boarded tower with a spire.
Extensions, renovations
From the beginning of the 15th century (around 1415) a three-aisled hall choir was built as an extension, consisting of two yokes and a five-eighth end . Late Gothic star vaults cover the choir.
The exterior is now determined by the sturdy buttresses protruding from the masonry with the Gothic windows of different widths between them and the small plinth in the area of the attached choir surround.
The steep gable roof over the hall space covered with red tiles follows the floor plan of the choir on the east side with three segments . Nine small dormers decorate the roof.
To the south of the choir are the two-story chapel extensions , which open onto the ambulatory on the upper floor. The three small gable roofs above the three chapels, perpendicular to the main house, are caught by a viewing gable with three ornate stepped gables . The middle chapel has a Gothic south portal , decorated with glazed and unglazed bricks in the lateral profile.
The open, ornate, Gothic west portal leads to a graceful vestibule extended by niches - even in front of the tower. There are two further portals on the north and south sides and on the gable of the central chapel.
In 1865 the church was extensively restored by Friedrich August Stüler .
Interior

The remains of wall paintings of a unicorn hunt from the 15th century in the first side chapel are still preserved .
The large carved altar is remarkable, a high altar with 40 figures of saints from the second half of the 15th century, which was laid out broadly in the style of Mecklenburg-Pomerania altars. In the middle shrine of the winged altar , Mary and Christ are depicted and below Christ and the donor couple. On both sides and in the two wings the figures of saints and above a tracery - canopy and as the upper end a “leaf comb”, which emphasizes the horizontality.
The panels on the wings depict scenes from the Old and New Testaments , some of which were renewed and changed in the 16th century. A Passion scene can be seen
in the predella below the altarpiece .
The cup-shaped baptismal font made of granite with its naively stylized bas-reliefs of the Madonna , angels, adorers and heads dates back to the middle of the 13th century.
The late Gothic choir stalls are decorated with rich tracery - dorsal (back wall) and figures of saints on the side cheeks .
The stained glass in the windows are by Alexander Teschner and Louis Müller.
There are some wooden epitaphs in the sacristy . Two late Gothic goblets were made around 1500.
organ
The organ was built in 1812 by the Berlin organ builder Johann Simon Buchholz and expanded in 1865 by the Szczecin organ builder Barnim Grüneberg . The romantically arranged instrument with 31 registers (mechanical slide chests ) is almost completely preserved.
