Triglitz village church, south side

church

In Triglitz there is a church built from stone masonry around 1360, which is one of the oldest village churches in Prignitz. It was built as a fortified church and thus served the citizens to protect them from robberies and war situations. In the northern part of the church property remains of a high stone wall can be found, which should also repel attackers.

Once the windows were narrow pointed arch windows, today one encounters wider windows closed in the pointed arch. On the west side there is a gallery that is reminiscent of the Middle Ages. As early as 1422 the pastor Johannes Wolff was mentioned as a member of the Kalandsgesellschaft, a spiritual brotherhood in the Middle Ages. A noble gentleman zu Putlitz was named as the patron saint of the church in 1540;

It is said that the first church bell adorned the building in 1604. This year was engraved in mirror writing on the bell. Another bell bears the year 1724. This was attached by Christian Klüske from Berlin and melted down during World War II. Oral tradition says that the east gable of the church was penetrated by Swedish cannonballs, which was visible through the incompletely repaired breakthrough into the 1970 / 80s.

At the front door on the street side there is a re-fortified split, which is said to have come from an attack by a Swedish officer and soldiers who tried to forcefully break into the church. Stories report that a mass grave was discovered when the memorial stone was placed for those who fell in World War I. Seven human skeletons are said to have been found under the wooden planks. Research has shown that these human remains were from the Thirty Years War. One of these skulls was adorned with a myrtle wreath, suggesting that some people in a wedding party were killed by wandering gangs. Several such mass graves from this era are said to be located in the churchyard.

In 1680 the first church book was created, which was deposited in the rectory in Mertensdorf. In the 1670s / 80s there was extensive renovation and extension work on the church. During this time the two galleries were built. The gallery on the western side no longer exists today and there are no indications of its future whereabouts. Until the 1950s, the Triglitz church had a baroque pulpit with an inscription on the back.

In 1843 the wooden belfry next to the church was rebuilt. After the preparation of the interior through the initiative of Pastor Telschow, the church was consecrated on November 7, 1982.
