history
Bad Sülze received its town charter between 1255 and 1262. The first news of the church in Sülze comes from 1276. According to this, this church was in the middle of the 13th century as a brick church in the Gothic style in competition with the town church in Marlow, which was built around the same time been erected. According to Schlie, the choir could already date from the end of the 12th century. The square west tower, slightly drawn into the nave, was probably not built until the 15th century. The spire was destroyed by fire in 1770. The burning tip pierced the roof of the nave, but remained on the vault. It was not until 1892 that the tower received a new, straight, neo-Gothic spire. In the Middle Ages the church belonged to the Rostock archdeaconate and was continuously under sovereign patronage .
Building description
The town church has a nave with two square yokes with late Gothic star vaults . The rich forms were influenced by the Westphalian building school. In the rectangular, recessed choir , the late-Gothic domed vault with its eight ribs with the ring-shaped keystone is still preserved. The ribs are attached to the outer walls by corner pilaster strips. The east side with its rising round arch frieze is completed by a beautiful gable. The differently staggered groups of three windows have a rich structure with the inner and outer round bars.
On the north side there is a beautiful return portal , which is crowned with three Gothic eyelashes . The lateral, frame-like boundary - the garment - is three-tiered with set columns. The arched arches - the archivolts - have round bulges, which are provided with glazed and unglazed stones. The walled-up south portal of the nave also has three eyelashes and a vestibule with two steps.
Interior
The altar that replaced the one destroyed in the fire in 1770 is remarkable . The crucifixion with Mary and John dates from the 19th century and is by Gaston Lenthe (1805-1860). The wooden pulpit from 1770 is made in the Rococo style. The baroque organ front dates from 1772. The font is made of sand-lime stone and dates from the second half of the 13th century. The organ was originally a work by Christian Heinrich Kersten from 1772 with today 14 stops on a manual and pedal , which after several reconstructions and changes in 1852, 1980 and 1998 has little historical existence.
