timeline

Origin until 1600
  • In a document from Count Nikolaus II from 1301, the St. Georgen Hospital in Boizenburg is mentioned, which at that time was outside the city. The St.-Jürgen poor house or the St.-Jürgen monastery later emerged from this institution.
  • The vicarie of the knight Heinrich von Sprengel from 1328 also contributed to the further construction of the church in Boizenburg . On April 10, 1328 the knight's widow testified the dedication of the Vicarie in the presence of the Boizenburg priest Johann von Tarnewitz and the miner Segeband von Oedem. In the years that followed, other foundations were added in favor of the church, in 1335 the Flöker'sche Vicarie and in 1370 the Vicarie of the von Moltke family.
  • A papal document from 1331 gives information about the pastor who served in Boizenburg during this time. In the deed of May 2, 1331, the rector of the parish church Boizenburg Bertram Cremon by Pope Johannes XXII. at Avignon awarded the right to a spiritual feud without pastoral care. Before his appointment as pastor of Boizenburg, Bertram Cremon was canon in Hamburg. After his time in Boizenburg, he joined Count Johann III as chaplain . von Holstein-Kiel in appearance. In 1350, Bertram Cremon was finally elected Bishop of Lübeck.
  • In 1335 the church now had four altars at which the priests Johannes, Hildebrand, Johannes Aurifaber and Ludolf celebrated the service .
  • The cathedral chapter of Hamburg granted on December 19, 1336 the Boizenburger priest and former canon to Hamburg Bertram Cremon a pension consisting of the stipend of the village Bargteheide was built.
  • In November 1358 the church in Boizenburg and the Kirchhufen in its possession were exempted from taxes, services and requirements. In the by Duke Albrecht III. The signed document also mentions the Boizenburg preacher Heinrich von Gryben.
  • In 1378 the brothers Heinrich and Hermann von Boizenburg expanded their vicarie in favor of the Boizenburg Church, and they also supported the construction of the altar of St. Peter and Paul to a considerable extent.
  • In July 1400, the Ratzeburg bishop Detlef confirmed the donation of a house by the Boizenburg priest Heinrich Dassemann, which expanded the Sprengel vicarie in favor of the Boizenburg church.
  • As is well known, Boizenburg's parish church was part of the Roman Catholic Church, and only with the Reformation movement did the Evangelical Lutheran faith find its way. However, the transition was not always peaceful. The Ratzeburg bishop Heinrich III reported. in February 1520 the Mecklenburg dukes of the serious mistreatment of a monk in Boizenburg. The first Lutheran sermon was given by the priest Johan Crutzeman in 1534. He was then transferred by the papal authorities. Johannes Wesken is named as the first Lutheran preacher. However, he was initially denied access to the church and the sermon in it. In the period around 1541 there were still numerous influential papal followers. Therefore, Preacher Wesken had to give his sermon in the churchyard under a linden tree.
  • During the church visitation of 1535 Anabaptists were found in Boizenburg . The Anabaptists were considered to be followers of a heresy and were subject to persecution by the authorities.
  • In addition to the St. Mary's Church, there were two other chapels within the city area in 1579, the St. Anne's Chapel and the Holy Cross Chapel. Outside the city walls, on the other hand, stood the St. Gertrud Chapel, the St. Jürgen Chapel and the St. Habundus Chapel. The St. Mary's Church had eleven altars at that time, most of which were already there in the early Middle Ages.

1600 to 1800

  • The Thirty Years War brought much suffering to the country. The Boizenburg Church was also affected. At the end of July 1627, the gunpowder stored in the churchyard exploded and almost completely destroyed the adjacent church, only the pillars and foundation wall remained. On August 9, the imperial troops of the general Tilly conquered the city and continued the work of destruction begun by the withdrawing Danes and Scots. The remaining equipment was destroyed and the graves in the church desecrated. In the following decades Boizenburg was without any usable church building. Reconstruction could not begin until 1657, which was carried out under the direction of the French architect and sculptor Charles Philippe Dieussart . The completion of the reconstruction was the installation of an organ in 1677, exactly 50 years after its destruction.
  • The church building was destroyed again on the night of October 16, 1709 as a result of the city fire. The library built by Pastor Balthasar Christian Brandenburg (1662–1701), which contained numerous valuable writings, also fell victim to the fire. In 1711 the reconstruction of the church was supposed to begin, the appropriate timber had already been delivered. However, the city lacked the necessary funds and no help was to be expected from the Schwerin Duke at this time. So the reconstruction was postponed and the timber that had already been delivered disappeared over the next few years. The Boizenburg religious community was now forced to use a high-gabled house on the Bollenberg that had been spared from the city fire.
  • It was not until 1717 that reconstruction could begin under the supervision of the ducal-Mecklenburg engineer captain Christian Friedrich Leberecht von dem Knesebeck . The engineer-captain von dem Knesebeck directed the reconstruction until his death in 1727. The stone tablet with the inscription above the north portal reminds of the beginning of the reconstruction: TEMPLUM ANNO MDCCIX EXUSTUM PIISSIMIS AUSPICIIS • DMI: DMI: CAROLI LEOPOLDI · D · R · M ANNO MDCCXVII REDINTEGRATUM .
  • Many a conflict arose during the reconstruction. In 1718, for example, the upper church court in Rostock dealt with a case from Boizenburg. Church governor Arnold Petersen had provided 147 Reichstaler for the reconstruction of the church , which were actually due to the ducal rentery . As a result, the Schwerin kitchen master Johann Brandt, who now lacked the funds, turned to the upper church court in Rostock.
  • In 1754 the structural restoration of the church was completed.
  • On February 18, 1759, the Horster landowner Johann Baptista Mutzenbecher (1691–1759), former syndicus and magnificence in the Hamburg Senate and church jury, found his final resting place in the church in Boizenburg. Johann Baptist Mutzenbecher is one of the founders of the late Baroque altar and pulpit furnishings of the church. Mutzenbecher was active in the Senate of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg until 1725, where he was responsible for diplomatic relations with Russia, Sweden and Poland. After an argument with a mayor, he gave up his position there.
  • The churchyard had to be closed in 1777 due to the lack of free grave sites. The municipality therefore moved the cemetery in front of the city in the same year, to a place whose center was the Tannenberg. The first burial took place on May 1, 1778 . A preserved wooden plaque with an inscription attests to this child's burial. After the congregation was able to use the new cemetery, the old churchyard was redesigned into a park-like structure on the ducal orders. Today nothing reminds of the centuries-old churchyard and its graves.
  • The last burial within the church was held in 1779. In that year the widow of the church council, Hinrich Johann Siegfried Koch, found her final resting place in her husband's grave after receiving permission from the sovereign. Some of the graves in the church had to be filled in in the following years, as they had collapsed due to their poor structural condition.
  • In 1788 a baroque funeral chapel was built in the cemetery . It was donated by Sophia Elisabet Regass at the wish of her husband in will. The small half-timbered building was built on a field stone base and ends with a mansard roof . The top is an open lantern . In the same year the town church also received a new organ, the inauguration of which on October 28, 1788 marked the end of the decades-long reconstruction.

1800 to 1945

  • In 1804 the lengthy work on the church tower was completed. In the same period, the tower received the weather vane with a tower ball, which is still visible from afar .
  • During the wars of liberation Boizenburg was occupied several times by French troops. As a result, the residents had to supply the soldiers with food and provide accommodation. At the beginning of April 1813 the church was converted into a makeshift hospital . Only in this way was it possible to take care of the large number of French and Saxon soldiers captured near Lüneburg. Their leader General Joseph Morand was also taken to Boizenburg, seriously injured. However, he was cared for in the mayor's house, where he died on April 5, 1813. The French and Saxons, who were poorly supplied, had to vacate the church a short time later and were transported to Berlin. From 1815 until his death in 1843 Carl Riemann (1785–1843) was pastor of the town church and prepositus.
  • The 1860s were accompanied by extensive renovations. The building structure and the interior furnishings were designed in a neo-Gothic style. The consecration of the church on October 22, 1865 marked the end of the redesign.
  • The church building survived the confusion of the two world wars and the social upheaval largely unscathed. During the time of the Nazi regime , however, the Boizenburg community was targeted by the judiciary. The Boizenburg pastors Hans Werner Ohse and Christian Berg were charged with insulting the state in 1934. The prosecution was u. a. The criticism of the Sportpalast speech of November 13, 1933 and a subsequent verbal argument with the NSDAP member Karl Grosse-Frehse, who was also a parish council member, preceded it, in which Pastor Ohse expressed clear criticism of the regime. Then the searched political police on 22 November both presbyteries in which one to the chagrin of pastors who also members of the Pastors , dissident were circulars found. Ohse was sentenced to the payment of a fine of 1000 Reichsmarks in the Schwerin special court trial, which took place from June 10 to 15, 1934 , while Pastor Berg was fined 750 Reichsmarks. As part of the general amnesty proclaimed by Adolf Hitler on August 2, 1934, the sentence was lifted on August 14. The consequences for the two pastors were nevertheless sensitive, they were removed from the service in Boizenburg at the instigation of the regional church leader Walther Schultz . The increasing influence of the National Socialists on the Protestant Church also had an impact on community life in Boizenburg. Master stonemason Albert Reder, a long-time member of the Boizenburg parish council and companion of Maximillian Preibisch , left the parish council in 1933 because of these circumstances . From 1937 to 1939 Pastor Georg Friedrich Erich Schultze (1885–1951) took over the pastor's office in Boizenburg. Schultze was a member of the NSDAP , in which he also worked as a local group leader since the National Socialists came to power . He saw it as his task to bring the NSDAP and the church together, as he clearly communicated to the Boizenburg community members on March 9, 1937.

1945 to 1990

  • In 1978 and 1979, as part of a special construction program approved by the GDR Council of Ministers , the tower roof was re-covered with Mansfeld copper and the external facade was renewed. Thanks to the financial and material help of the West German Evangelical Church, the ongoing decline of the church building could be stopped.
  • In 1985, the old choir and received sanctuary existing today glass installation, which was designed by architect Hartung. The installation has since served as a community center and heated winter church.

1990 until today

  • Only a few years later, the Marienkirche Boizenburg was again the place of peaceful protest. In August 1995, Mayor Uwe Wieben, SPD politician Till Backhaus and the chief physician of the Johanniter Hospital in Boizenburg went on hunger strike because of the failure to finance a new hospital in the church .
  • In 1997 extensive renovation measures began. So the vault paintings were renewed and the tower room restored.
  • In 2005, the renovation of the western extension began. The roof and outer facade were repaired and the interior redesigned. A small baptistery was then set up in the interior. At the same time, the restored striking mechanism of the tower clock could be put back into operation.
  • The surroundings of the church were also redesigned. In 2008, the over 220-year-old linden trees were felled and replaced with young linden trees the following year. The fence around the church square from 1892 remained unchanged.

Church building

Polygonal completion of the extension from 1864

Today's three-aisled Protestant St. Mary's Church is a brick hall church , which was built on the highest point in the city next to the market square. The origins of the building are still Romanesque . At its core, it is an elongated rectangular field stone building from the 13th century, which has been changed many times so that the Gothic elements predominate.

The church was destroyed twice in a hundred years. While the first reconstruction from 1657 to 1679 allowed the church to shine in its old splendor, profound changes were made to the structure during the reconstruction from 1717 to 1754. The remains of the medieval side chapels on the tower were demolished, one of those measures that were based on the church building principles of the Schwerin court building councilor Leonhard Christoph Sturm . The additions on the north and south sides, which extend the church space, are also ingredients of the reconstruction.

There are also neo-Gothic and Romanesque additions that were added in the course of the renovation work from 1860 to 1865. At the same time the old dilapidated field stone choir was demolished. The old choir was then replaced by a three-aisled basilica extension. Inside, the north and south additions to the nave, which were added in the 18th century, were walled up so that the almost square central building became a long building again . The Mecklenburg architect Theodor Krüger provided the drafts for the renovation .

The church has a large number of Gothic pointed arched windows. The high lancet triple windows of the main nave are remarkable here . There are also multi-lane, arched windows that follow the Romanesque style. The colorless glass of acute and arched window from Verbleiungsmuster in diamond shape dominates. In contrast, there are large blue glazed rose windows above the entrance portals of the north and south extensions .

Below the eaves , the church's nave with several aisles is decorated with frieze elements of various shapes. In the gables of the nave and the annexes, pointed-arched blind niches were incorporated as decorative elements.

Gable roofs and monopitch roofs form the upper end, which were covered with red roof tiles.

tower

During the reconstruction, which began in 1717, the church received a four-storey western tower in front of it. After the demolition of the old side chapels, the tower received multi-segmented supporting pillars.

A special feature is the imposing baroque tower dome. An eight-sided lantern is formed from the square floor plan of the tower, from which one has a good view of the city and the Elbe valley. The top of the tower is crowned by a tower ball with an ornate weather vane and a cross that was placed there in 1804.

In 1859 the church tower received the tower clock with striking mechanism, which is still present today. The tower also has a sundial . It is located on the south side and is attached to one of the outer pillars there.

The roof of the tower was covered with slate shingles. It was not until the early 1980s that the tower received its copper cover, which is still present today.

Interior and design

neo-Gothic altar

In the medieval church, there were eleven other altars in addition to the main altar , this emerges from a church visit protocol from 1579. The interior of the church, which dates from the Middle Ages, did not survive the destruction of 1627 and 1709. Only a few items of equipment from this period have survived, including a magnificent antependium . The current interior was only brought in after the reconstruction in 1717.

Inside the church has a neo-Gothic cross rib vault . The color design of the visible surfaces in the interior is based on the radiant white, with red and green pastel tones . The ribbed vault was decorated on the ribs with ornamental ribbons and stencil paintings that continue to the keystone . The pictorial representation of a sun on the keystone is remarkable, in the center of which the eye symbolizes the omnipresence of God. The beginning of the vault is also decorated with elaborate flower and tendril painting.

During the renovation from 1860 to 1865, all of the baroque fixtures, including the boat stalls and council stalls, were removed.

The entire sacred furnishings of today's church follow the neo-Gothic style of the 1860s. The neo-Gothic wooden fixtures of the patronage boxes can be found in the two side aisles .

Also worth mentioning is the impressive oil painting by the reformer Martin Luther on the north gallery. A memorial plaque on the south pore, on the other hand, commemorates those who died in the Wars of Liberation and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71.

The furnishings also include the stone baptismal font , the base of which was decorated with neo-Gothic painting.

altar

middle Ages

In the medieval church, the choir housed the high altar . It was consecrated to Mary, the Mother of God, and to the Apostle James . At the transition from the choir to the lay nave, however, there was the lay altar with the image of Jesus crucified. On the sides of the ship were the twelve side altars, which were dedicated to other saints and apostles . The image of the Virgin Mary on the altar of Mary was remarkable, with its fourteen cloaks adorned with silver and gold clasps.

Altar after 1660

In the 1660s, sculptor Charles Philippe Dieussart created a new altarpiece for the church. The altarpiece was an excessive figure of Christ and in the main draw in alabaster carved crucifixion scene . The altar and interior were destroyed during the city fire of 1709.

Baroque altar

Main part of the baroque altar from the 18th century.

The high baroque altarpiece from 1718 has been preserved. The altar is made entirely of oak and is light gray in color. In the main field he shows the artistically executed representation of a crucifixion group . Flanking the main field are the four life-size evangelists resting on baroque consoles . About the of Corinthian columns supported beams , decorated with half figures and Akanthusornament, the flanked by angels Christ figure rose as victor .

The predella , which is adorned with the depiction of Jesus' last supper and flanked by voluting acanthus ornament, is remarkable . Also noteworthy are the eagles that can be found on both sides, as a symbol of the Ascension of Christ and an attribute of the Evangelist John. The frame of the picture is crowned by an angel's head framed by acanthus tendrils. Another component of the altar shows the pictorial representation of the Entombment of Christ , which is currently placed below the north gallery at the north exit.

In the north transept , the baroque altarpiece, which was not fully built, is used to furnish a small baptistery, in which the neo-Gothic baptism from 1841 can also be found. Some of the life-size altar figures are exhibited inside the church.

Neo-Gothic altar

The neo-Gothic altarpiece used by the parish today dates from the 1860s. It was made in the workshop of the famous Schwerin carpenter Johann Christiansen, who was involved in the execution of the crucifixion altar in Schwerin Cathedral in 1844/45 .

The altarpiece shows the crucifixion of Christ with biblical minor figures . The artistically executed picture is the work of the Schwerin painter Theodor Fischer .

The crowning carving of the altarpiece is based on Gothic architectural elements such as the eyelash , the finial and the pinnacle . In the profiled surfaces of the altar wings there are also carvings in the form of tracery ornamentation .

pulpit

Baroque pulpit

Baroque pulpit, condition before 1900

Also worth mentioning is the preserved early Baroque pulpit , which was donated by a Hamburg church after the town fire in the 18th century. The imposing polygonal pulpit rests on a massive base. The staircase, the door leaf and the pulpit are richly decorated with floral carvings. Solomonic columns with Ionic capitals flank the door to the staircase and support an entablature. This entablature is in turn richly decorated with acanthus ornaments and is crowned by figures of angels. The stairs to the pulpit and the pulpit are provided with shell niches. In the shell niches were the finely worked figurative representations of the twelve apostles , which in turn were flanked by Doric columns. The upper edge of the pulpit, on the other hand, was adorned with six angel figures, which like the apostles are no longer present. Also noteworthy are the angels' heads that are arranged around the corner.

The baroque pulpit has been parked in the extension of the south entrance for several decades.

Neo-Gothic pulpit

The neo-Gothic pulpit that exists today dates from the 1860s and, like the altarpiece, is the work of master carpenter Johann Christiansen. Noteworthy is the pulpit canopy , which was richly decorated with carvings.

Chandeliers and candlesticks

chandelier

Neo-Gothic chandelier from 1865

The neo-Gothic chandelier from 1865 is remarkable. The chandelier, which is decorated with ornamental foliage and scrollwork, has the shape of a dodecagon and was made of highly polished brass . The chandelier is suspended from a finely crafted crown, to which the suspension that extends into the cross vault is attached. The chandelier has twelve arms, on each of which two light sources are offset, creating an inner and outer ring of lights. On each of the twelve pages one of the twelve apostles can be found, which were made of ivory and then dyed black. The figures of the apostles rest on small consoles and are crowned by equally small canopies . Below the consoles, however, there are the flying ribbons with the names of the apostles.

chandelier

Also worth mentioning are the three-flame bronze candlesticks on the main pillars. Its appearance is extraordinary, in the form of a serpent with a stylized dragon head.

Inventory overview

Antependium from 1682

The splendidly embroidered antependium , depicting an eight-part picture cycle, is remarkable . Shown above are Boaz and Ruth , Tobias with the angel, Jacob at the well , Christ and the Samaritan woman , including the covenant between David and Jonathan , the attack by the brothers against Joseph , Jacob wrestling with the angel of the Lord and the cycle concluding with the baptism of Christ in the Jordan . The cycle of images embroidered with gold and silver threads on silk was executed on a dark green cloth.

The artful handwork bears a foundation dedication from 1682 on the reverse.

Altar candlestick from 1711

Also noteworthy are the two tall bronze candlesticks from 1711, which were cast from the bronze of two older altar candlesticks from 1650. The candlesticks, dating from 1650, were a foundation of the Boizenburg helmsmen and boatmen. Presumably the old altar candlesticks were badly damaged during the conflagration of October 16, 1709 , so that they were melted down.

The elegantly profiled baluster shafts of the altar candlesticks are each carried by three finely crafted lion figures.

Vasa Sacra

In 1898 the St. Marien Church in Boizenburg owned sacred equipment :

  • a silver-gilded communion chalice , in Gothic style, the engraving " IhHSVS " on the pommel , a crucifix soldered onto the base of the chalice .
  • a silver chalice from 1870, which was made by the Schwerin court jeweler H. Rose.

Console of the Friese (III.) Organ

The Wismar organ builder Henning Kröger built a large organ for the Boizenburg Church in the 1620s. The organ was damaged during the Thirty Years' War and destroyed in 1627.

A new organ was only installed in 1677. It was destroyed during the city fire in 1709.

In 1785, organ builder Johann Georg Stein from Lüneburg was commissioned to build the organ for the Boizenburg church. The installation was carried out by the son Johann Georg Stein the Younger, who took over the order for the Marienkirche Boizenburg after the death of his father. In 1788 the organ was inaugurated.

In 1849 an order for an organ was placed again. Carl August Buchholz , an outstanding organ builder, and his son Carl Friedrich Buchholz received this order. Which was then also completed with the installation of the new organ (II / 14).

The present organ (II / P / 19) with mechanical action , which is located on the west gallery , was built by organ builder Friedrich Friese III in 1892. The existing organ works are arranged in C and C sharp. The organ 2 is located in a swell box , which is brought into the open or closed position by means of a click-in foot actuation. The bellows was placed behind the pedal wind chest . The organist's seat or his console is on the left.

The organ front was made in neo-Gothic style, following the style of the interior. The gable-like crown is decorated with decorative elements on the slopes and with finials on the summit , flanked by pinnacles .

The organ was restored in 1994 by organ builder Wolfgang Nußbücker and has been used ever since. To preserve the Friese III. Organ efforts are made by a group of friends of the parish. The historic organ instrument is currently undergoing an extensive restoration. The Lübeck organ builder Reinalt Johannes Klein was commissioned to carry out the restoration work.

Since the end of 2015, the Friese organ is from where Venezuela originating Kantor recorded Napoleon Savelli.

Bells

Pick-up as part of the “ metal donation of the German people ” in 1942. The largest bronze bell, which weighed 3,250 kg, was transported to one of the collection points and held there to be melted down.

The bronze bells from the Middle Ages have not been preserved. They were as a result of the city fire from 15./16. Crashed October 1709 and melted in the heat of the fire.

In December 1710, traveling bell founder Caspar Heinrich Castehl (1670 – after 1714) cast four new bells in Boizenburg. However, since the church was to be equipped with five bells, he returned to the city the following year and cast another bell. In the course of this, Castehl carried out further orders, which included the casting of the Boizenburg town hall bell and a bell for the Maria Magdalenen Church in Lauenburg .

The bells of St. Mary's Church were of impressive size. The three large bells had a diameter of 1.75 meters, 1.45 meters and 0.95 meters, while the two smaller bells were 0.75 meters and 0.65 meters. In addition to the foundry's mark, all of these bells also had inscriptions and verses that referred to the fire of October 1709 and the reign of Duke Friedrich Wilhelm .

Four of the bells fell victim to the “ metal donation of the German people ” in 1942 . In 1960 two new steel bells were therefore cast in Apolda . After their delivery, they were brought into the tower via the large east portal and from there lifted into the belfry via prepared openings .

The tower now houses three bells, a bronze bell from 1710 (ø 0.95 meters), which no longer rings, and the two steel bells from 1960.
