Sanitz Village Church
● Sanitz
The church in Sanitz is built in the transitional style between the Romanesque and Gothic periods using fieldstones, with the corners and edges formed from hewn stones. Sanitz is first mentioned as a parish village as early as 1256. The reason for this documentary record was the designation of the church in Dänschenburg as a subsidiary church of Sanitz. The Sanitz church was mentioned again in a contract dated June 2, 1291, in which Heinrich von Werle secured the right of patronage for his ward Nikolaus von Rostock from the Bishop of Schwerin; this right had been held by the local lord ever since. Various families were recorded as vassals in the 14th century. Through inheritance, the village came into the possession of the Doberan Monastery, to which it belonged until the Reformation. The altar from 1811 is a work in the Neoclassical style featuring paintings by the Mecklenburg court painter Rudolph Suhrlandt, depicting the Last Supper on the base and the Passion of Christ on the Mount of Olives on the upper section. To the right and left of it are two columns each with Corinthian capitals and wooden carved figures representing faith, love, hope, and patience. The altar was donated by Captain von Koppelow of Reppelin. The pulpit, dating from 1694, is in the Baroque style.
