St. Petri Church (Rieseby)
The St. Petri Church in Rieseby is a late Romanesque brick church that belongs to the Schwansen / Rieseby parish in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany . It is considered one of the most beautiful country churches in Schleswig-Holstein .
history
In the Middle Ages, the area around Rieseby belonged to the diocese of Schleswig , which is indicated by today's municipal coat of arms. The bishops owned the castle Stubbe an der Schlei, which was destroyed in 1417, as well as several herring fences and the (now defunct) island of Lindholm in what is now the municipality .
Around 1220/30 the Riesebyer Church, a single-nave brick building with a retracted box choir and semicircular apse, was built next to a Bronze Age barrow . It was probably dedicated to the apostle Peter . Its exterior design, which was largely restored during the renovation in 1913, is based on the Ratzeburg Cathedral . The vault was only drawn in later. It was painted in color several times, but later whitewashed. Remains of restored painting can be found in the choir vault.
The building was supplemented in 1673 by a crypt of the local aristocratic family Wonsfleth built on the south side of the choir and the wooden church tower built on the burial mound in 1702.
In 1913 the church was completely renovated. The color traces of the painting from 1681 served as a template for the color design. Today this can only be seen in the last yoke above the organ gallery. The colored stained glass windows depicting the story of Jesus were also donated by parishioners as part of this renovation.
At the beginning of 2020 the parish merged with the parishes Borby-Land, Karby , Sieseby and Waabs to form the parish Schwansen / Rieseby.
Furnishing
The oldest piece of furniture is the granite baptism from the 12th century, the foot of which is adorned with roughly hewn human heads and a stylized tree of life . The baptismal cover was donated together with the pulpit in 1649 by the church patron Kai von Ahlefeldt and his wife Margarethe at Gut Saxtorf and is kept in Mannerist style. The baptism of Jesus is shown in full plastic in a lantern-like structure .
In the choir arch there is a triumphal cross group from the end of the 13th century. It is attributed to the artist of the Hürup Passion .
The altar was donated by Burchard von Ahlefeldt in 1669. The essay is flanked and supported by life-size figures of the apostles Peter and Paul . The altar table is adorned with an antemensale carved from oak wood from the 15th century. The apostles around the enthroned judge of the world, painted on the gilded background, can only be made out dimly.
Grave slabs of noble families from the 16th century, which used to cover crypts in the church, are now placed on the outside of the church.
organ
The organ was built by the Danish company Marcussen & Søn in 1878. The work underwent a neo-baroque redesign by the organ builder HJ Düngel (Schleswig) in 1959, before Klaus Becker (Kupfermühle) carried out a revision in 1976. Some of the pipes installed in 1959 were replaced by old Marcussen pipes, but the original disposition was not restored . Presumably an overhaul by an unnamed organ builder took place in 1992. In 29014 the organ was freed from mold growth and further repairs were carried out at the same time.
The prospectus shows five flat pipe fields, which are divided by pilasters with capitals . The elevated central field with a flat gable has a wide round arch, which is flanked by two low rectangular fields. The two outer arched fields have a straight housing end. The work has 15 registers , which are distributed over two manuals and pedal , they are on mechanical slide chests .
According to the inscription on the gaming table, the disposition is:
