Catholic Church in Demmin
The Catholic parish, founded in the mid-19th century, had the church built in 1914–15 based on designs by the Berlin architect J.
Welz. It served as the parish church for Pastors Adolf Noleweika and Heinrich Wessels (an honorary citizen of the city of Demmin). Between 1994 and 1996, the exterior of the brick-built neo-Gothic church underwent its first major restoration. The 45-meter-high tower, with its open belfry, is topped by a so-called “bishop’s miter.” Of the interior furnishings dating from the “Gründerzeit” period, the neo-Gothic winged altar with figures of the 12 Apostles, Mary with the Infant Jesus, and the pulpit—to which the sound cover was added later—have survived. The winged altar is the church’s crowning jewel and immediately catches the eye of visitors. It was dismantled in 1963 and restored in 2000, with missing parts replaced and the altar reassembled. The side panels and tabernacle of this altar, as well as a carved Stations of the Cross, are also among the highlights.
Demmin Catholic Church – a Neo-Gothic landmark in the heart of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
The Catholic Church in Demmin is one of the most remarkable religious buildings in the interior of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, not far from the Baltic Sea coast and regions such as Fischland-Darß-Zingst and Greifswald. Built in 1914 and 1915 according to designs by the Berlin architect J. Welz, the parish dates back to the mid-19th century. With its 45-meter-high tower, the brick building makes a striking impression on Demmin’s cityscape. The distinctive tower roof, shaped like a so-called “bishop’s miter,” and the open belfry give the structure its unmistakable character.
Neogothic winged altar and historic interior of the Demmin Church
The true centerpiece of the church is the Neogothic winged altar from the Gründerzeit era, which immediately catches the eye. It depicts the figures of the twelve apostles as well as Mary with the infant Jesus and, after being dismantled in 1963, was carefully restored and fully reassembled in 2000. Also worth seeing are the side panels, the tabernacle, and a carved Stations of the Cross. The historic pulpit, with its sound-reflecting cover added at a later date, is also among the church’s valuable furnishings. Between 1994 and 1996, the exterior of the church underwent its first major restoration. The church was also the place of ministry for Pastor Heinrich Wessels, who was named an honorary citizen of the city of Demmin.
