Church building
Execution and construction history
The Martinikirche, originally it was to be named Luther Church, is a sacred building erected at the beginning of the 19th century according to the revised plans of Karl Friedrich Schinkel, which was built between 1818 and 1819 in place of an old previous building. The previous building was dilapidated and was badly damaged by a storm in 1815. The tower collapsed and damaged most of the old organ . A new building was considered, and in the same year corresponding plans were submitted to the Berlin Oberbaudeputation. These were revised by Schinkel; he based a normal church design with a tower.
The church tower and the nave, built as a long structure, were built from rubble stones, some of which came from the former Gröningen Castle . The chancel is lit by high arched windows. An essential design element of Schinkel is the semicircular window opening to the roof truss on the eastern gable . The spire was only added later, on October 30, 1842. The organ with its gallery come from the former French Reformed church in Halberstadt and was bought in 1828 for a sum of 400 thalers . In 2014 the organ was repaired.
inventory
The inventory includes the original baroque altarpiece from the previous building. There are two coats of arms on the right and left with the letters HG - CF and SCG - ESS. The letters stand of the former tenant farmers manor in Nienhagen and probably Donors : Henning Grosse († 1681) and his wife Catherine Franke and his son Christian Grosse († 1714) and his wife Eleonore Sophie Strump. The date of creation can be dated between 1674 and 1681. A silver goblet from 1572 (donors were the brothers Henning and Claus Lutzow) was also part of the valuable inventory. On the six rotuli: winged angel heads, marking a crucifix . It was written on the inside of the foot
Another silver chalice, more recent (1697) but larger, is gold-plated. Its crucifix is flanked by Maria and Johannes , the smith's mark is the Halberstadt Wolfsangel . Both chalices were kept in silver bowls, next to them in the church was a silver wafer box from 1658 with the following inscription:
A linen blanket for Holy Communion comes from 1658, embroidered with the following words:
Bells
The Nienhagen church originally had two bells ringing . The bells were cast by the bell founder W. Engelcke from Halberstadt. Today the ringing consists of a bell. One of the two bells was melted down during World War II .
Parish
Pre-Reformation
Nienhagen, originally listed as a parish village , was founded by Halberstadt bishops, who had a monastery farm here built for their own cultivation. From 1138 to 1804 the St. Johannes monastery from Halberstadt (also Johanniskloster) was the spiritual landlord of the place. The name of the patron saint of the original church is not known. Until 1648 the place was part of the Diocese of Halberstadt , which from then on was transformed into a secular principality and as the Principality of Halberstadt it became part of the Mark Brandenburg . The local farmers were allowed to choose their pastor themselves early on (from 1231). Later the monastery in Halberstadt provided the provost , who in turn appointed the archdeacon.
Evangelical
Church history
It is not known when the residents of Nienhagen converted to the Lutheran creed. It is likely that the Reformation in Nienhagen went hand in hand with Sigismund von Brandenburg , Bishop of Halberstadt, but at the latest with the reign of the Protestant Prince Heinrich Julius von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel . Heinrich Julius became Prince-Bishop of Halberstadt from 1566 . In the middle of the 18th century, the inhabitants of the parish village were exclusively of Protestant denomination. Today the community belongs to the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .
