The Church of Reconciliation is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Harrislee . The church building from 1928 is one of Harrislee's cultural monuments . Parts of the church furnishings were registered as part of the cultural monument.

location

The oldest church in Harrislee was built in the middle of an originally green field area. Today it is close to the new Harrislee market square. In the Middle Ages Harrislee did not have a market place. The marketplace was only created recently. This moved the Protestant Church even more clearly into the center of the community. In the original village center, in the area between Westerstrasse, Petersilienweg and Achter de Möhl, the Harreslev danske kirke was built in the 1990s . Not far from the Protestant church, also near the market square, the Roman Catholic Church of St. Anna was also built at a later time , which apparently refers to a previous chapel near Klues and which is a branch church of the Catholic parish of Flensburg . In addition to the two churches, there is also the town hall, a library, restaurants and supermarkets in the center of Harrislee. The parish cemetery is located behind the Protestant church.

background

At the beginning of the 20th century, Harrislee was still part of the church in the northern part of the parish Handewitt . The parishioners from Harrislee therefore used a path across the Stiftungsland Schäferhaus area to attend the service in the Handewitt church . In 1901 a small chapel was inaugurated on Ochsenweg , next to Gasthof Krone ( Lage ). The chapel acted as a branch of the Handewitt church and was intended to facilitate Sunday church attendance for the residents of the villages Harrislee and Fröslee . Next, an Evangelical Lutheran pastorate (Nissen's house) was built in 1924 and the Harrislee parish was finally established in 1925, but Harrislee did not become an independent Evangelical Lutheran parish, because this only happened later, in 1955.

To build the new church and to establish the associated burial ground, the new parish acquired 92 ares from the farmer Peter August Heinrich Jacobsen  for the price of 7,000 Reichsmarks . Despite the harvest time, about 100 people attended the laying of the cornerstone of the church on September 2, 1927. Pastor Lutzen from Handewitt wish ". [...] [the] Church should unite the inhabitants of the rugged various reasons parish again in lively service to God" Then, the reconciliation church, designed by architect and government building advice Wilhelm Oelker in style Homeland Security established. The topping-out ceremony of the church took place in February 1928, the consecration on October 28, 1928. The first adult burial in the associated churchyard took place on January 14, 1929.

The red brick building should take up the regional architectural language in terms of homeland security. The interior of the church was given an expressionist design , which is rare in church buildings . The artist Käte Lassen designed five colored church windows for the side walls of the building. In the 1960s, the interior of the church was redesigned white and pink. After that, the church was apparently redesigned in color one more time. The Flensburg restorer Heike Binger and the Hamburg church painter Volker Lang restored the original expressionist painting of the church interior in 2017. Since then, the basic color of the painting has been green again like nature and the wooden ceiling sky blue. Together with the numerous flower motifs, the painting should remind of creation and convey hope to the viewer. Two Palm Similar pillars support the organ - loft . In the late 1970s, the church's pews were expanded to include several more.

Since 2008 the evangelical parish has been cooperating with the parish of St. Nikolai in downtown Flensburg , with the Church of Peace in Weiche and Paulus in the southern part of Flensburg . Every Sunday there is a divine service with communion. There are other special community offers for children, women, young people and senior citizens.
