St. Johannis Church in Kühlungsborn
St.
Johannis Church in Kühlungsborn – Mecklenburg’s first “cycle path church” The fieldstone church was built in 1220 by the nuns of Parchow. Its distinctive feature is the wooden bell tower (in its current form dating from 1680), which has stood there since before 1500. Around 1400, the church was expanded to include the Gothic choir and vaulted ceiling. The triumphal cross group and the Madonna figure date from around 1400. Local families immortalized themselves in the 42 Baroque stained-glass windows in the choir around 1660. In 1963, the EULE company (Bautzen) built a new organ for this church (11 sounding stops on two manuals). Following extensive renovation (2011/2012), the church received a new altar table, a lectern, and an altar cross made of high-quality acrylic glass. With its simple form and subdued color scheme, the altar allows the restored Baroque figures in the choir area to stand out more prominently. The triumphal crucifix group and the crowned Madonna also appear in a restored version. The organ was moved from the west gallery to the south gallery, allowing for a rich, expansive sound. Since March 2012, it has been the first “cycle route church” in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (restroom / rest area / bicycle repair service provided by Wilfried Pietsch: 0173 - 2364549)
St. Johannis Church in Kühlungsborn – History since 1220
St. Johannis Church in Kühlungsborn is one of the oldest religious buildings on the Mecklenburg Baltic Sea coast. The fieldstone church was built in 1220 by the nuns of Parchow. Its most striking feature is the wooden bell tower, which existed in this form as early as 1500 and dates back to 1680 in its current form. Around 1400, the church was expanded to include a Gothic choir room with a vaulted ceiling—a development that continues to define the building to this day.
Baroque stained glass and medieval art treasures
Inside the church, there are 42 Baroque stained-glass windows in the choir, in which local families immortalized themselves around 1660. The triumphal crucifix group and the crowned Madonna figure date from around 1400 and were restored during an extensive renovation in 2011/2012. At the same time, the church received a new altar table, a lectern, and an altar cross made of acrylic glass, whose simple form deliberately allows the historic Baroque figures in the choir to take center stage. The organ, built by the EULE company in Bautzen and installed in 1963, was moved from the west to the south gallery, where it now produces a particularly rich, full sound.
First Cycle Route Church in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
Since March 2012, St. Johannis Church has held a special title: it is the first “cycling route church” in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Cyclists traveling along the Baltic Sea coast—for example, on the route between Rostock, Wismar, or Fischland-Darß-Zingst—will find a welcome rest stop here. Restrooms, a rest area, and a bicycle repair service are available, making the church a practical as well as cultural destination for cycling tourists in the region.
