Catholic Church in Demmin

● 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.

St. Bartholomew's Church

● Demmin

Even from a distance, the tower of St. Bartholomaei Church in the Hanseatic city of Demmin greets visitors. Construction of the church began in the late 13th or early 14th century. The brick building was redesigned in 1867 by none other than the Prussian architect Friedrich August Stüler. With a tower nearly 100 meters high, the church is one of the largest city churches in the Western Pomerania region. Its name derives from Bartholomew, a disciple of Jesus—also known as Nathanael in the New Testament—who was venerated by immigrant settlers as the patron saint of their guilds. The interior of the three-nave hall church is unusually bright and is currently being restored according to Stüler’s 1867 plans. Notable features inside include Neo-Gothic frescoes and stained-glass windows depicting scenes from the Night of St. Bartholomew. Upon entering, visitors’ attention is drawn to life-size plaster sculptures in the choir area as well as the Stüler pulpit. The pulpit was modeled after the shape of the stone tower and features five statues: those of Bishop Otto of Bamberg, the Pomeranian Duke Wartislaw I, Alwinius (the church’s first priest), Martin Luther, and Johannes Bugenhagen. A permanent exhibition tells the story of Otto von Bamberg—who stopped in Demmin—and his missionary journey. In 2011, the church celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Buchholz organ.
