St. Thomas Church (Tribsees)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Thomas in Tribsees

The St. Thomas Church in Tribsees is from the 13th / 15th. Century church building in the style of the north German brick Gothic . It was named after St. Thomas Becket , Archbishop of Canterbury .

construction

The massive late Romanesque tower and remains of the walls of the nave have been preserved from the previous basilica building from the second quarter of the 13th century . The relatively large-scale church with the five-eighth choir, which is atypical for Mecklenburg and Western Pomerania, shows the importance of the city of Tribsees at that time. Most of the current building dates from the first half of the 15th century. The Thomaskirche was badly damaged in a fire in 1702 and rebuilt by 1735. The east gable of the nave bears the year 1731 above the roof of the choir in bricks. In the years 1861 to 1869 the church was rebuilt in a neo-Gothic style.

Interior and outfit

White and red contrasting ribbed vaults characterize the nave . The sacristy is covered with a late Gothic cross vault. Between 1861 and 1869 there were neo-Gothic wooden installations: the pulpit , the galleries , the stalls and the patron's box . The font dates from 1869.

Lübeck pulpit piece

Three of the four evangelists from the pulpit

The seven wooden reliefs come from the pulpit of the Jacobikirche in Lübeck from 1577. This was donated by the Lübeck councilor Johann Spangenborch to the church there and demolished in Lübeck in 1698. In 1735, “the rounded, closed panels with fairly good figurative representations in high-quality work” came to Tribsees to supplement the furnishings. These are the four evangelists, two apostles and the crucified Christ, with whom the donors kneel. There were caryatids at the corners .

Mill altar

The mill altar should be emphasized, which was made in the second quarter of the 15th century by a Rostock workshop. It shows the relief of the sacrament mill with Christ as judge of the world. In addition, the individual altarpieces show an almost complete representation of the core scenes of the Bible, starting with Adam and Eve (who, because they were created by God, have no navel) through to the resurrection . In the actual “mill scene”, the four evangelists - flanked by the 12 apostles - pour quotes from the Gospels in sacks of grain into the funnel of a flour mill in the form of banners. From the mouth of the mill falls - again on a banner - the word that takes on fleshly form in the Boy Jesus directly below. The kneeling church fathers Gregory and Hieronymus, assisted by Ambrosius and Augustine, catch the child in a chalice.

organ

The Buchholz organ from 1831

The organ from 1831 with 28 registers on two manuals and a pedal was built by Carl August Buchholz . The neo-Gothic prospect , richly decorated with partly openwork tracery forms , was preserved when the organ was restored in 1996 by Rainer Wolter from Zudar.
