St. Nikolaus is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Klixbüll in the North Friesland district in Schleswig-Holstein . It is located on a hill a little away from the village next to the oldest building in the village, the core of the former Klixbüllhof estate. Together with the church of Braderup it belongs to the parish Braderup-Klixbüll in the north church .

history

The Klixbüller Church was first mentioned in the church register from 1240. It is consecrated to St. Nicholas of Myra . The first building went down in a storm surge .

Today's early Gothic brick building with a retracted box choir was probably built in the 13th century, initially as a branch of Leck . Originally half a cruciform church, the extension was demolished in 1832 and replaced by a gallery church . Around 1460 it was one of the main churches of the Karrharde .

In 1699 the church was given a square baroque tower with a gable roof. At the same time, the small medieval windows on the south side were enlarged.

The last renovation took place in 2010.

Furnishing

The oldest piece of equipment is the font from the 13th century with a baptismal lid from 1619 and a baptismal bowl from the middle of the 18th century. The triumphal cross group and the enthroned Christ with the twelve apostles standing figures, both from the beginning of the 16th century, are also pre-Reformation . The pulpit from 1618 is a work of the late Renaissance . It is attributed to the important carver Heinrich Ringerink . The baptismal lid from 1619 and the altar from 1621 are also assigned to the same workshop.

Flood marks

Flood marks on the outside wall

Flood marks from 1532 and 1634 ( Burchardi flood , NN + 4.30 m) can be found on its south wall . The height mark of the peak value of the All Saints Flood in 1532 (NN + 4.16 m) is considered the oldest of a North Sea storm flood. The markings on the inside on the south side in the passage to the sacristy are principally the original lines. They were restored when the interior of the church was painted and correspond to the historical flood heights. The flood marks are shown on bronze plaques on the outside of the tower.

Pastors

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the pastor's position was passed on to a son or son-in-law over several generations and remained in one family for 150 years. Until the middle of the 19th century, all pastors remained in service until the end of their lives, until Pastor Matthiesen was dismissed by the Danish government in 1856. For years, the congregation had refused to attend the fortnightly Danish-language services, which had been arranged since 1851, because they spoke a mixture of North Frisian and Sønderjysk in everyday life , but did not understand the standard Danish language in which the sermon was to be held. The only successors were Danes, which is why the peasants who were eligible to vote boycotted the election after the misunderstood election sermons. The first Danish pastor Edvard Magnus Buch soon left the congregation. His successor Christen Pram Gad founded a school library which, in addition to some German-language works on religious education, mainly contained the latest Danish textbooks on Danish history.
