Old Synagogue Stavenhagen

● Stavenhagen

The synagogue was probably built in the 18th century and was used by the Jewish community of the town of Stavenhagen until 1938. The front building served as a residence for the community's own rabbi. The half-timbered building contains a large prayer hall and an entrance hall, from which a staircase leads to the women's gallery. The synagogue was built in the backyard of the community center, i.e. hidden, to protect it from the hostile eyes of the Christian village community at the time. It was only when the Jews were fully emancipated that they built a representative synagogue that was visible in the street. It is special above all because it is one of the few synagogues to have survived the Kristallnacht on November 9, 1938. It was then forced to be sold and was used as a carpentry workshop until the 1980s. In 2011, the "Old Synagogue Stavenhagen" association was founded with the aim of renovating the historic building, which has already achieved monument status. Previous efforts to renovate the building had failed for financial reasons. Anyone interested in visiting the synagogue should contact Klaus Salewski by email or telephone: Sali-45@web.de or 0152 27779181

Jürgenstorf church

● Stavenhagen

The Jürgenstorf church is clearly visible from all roads leading into the parish and cannot be missed. The Gothic church in Jürgenstorf was built in the 14th century. After the 30-year war, only part of the tower remained. The church was rebuilt around 1700 and restored in 2006. The church is a rectangular half-timbered building with a west tower and mono-pitched roof. Inside the church is a vestibule containing the former patron's lodge. Today, this part is used as a winter church. The altar and the altarpiece depicting the crucifixion of Jesus are particularly impressive. The two wings show the apostles. The construction of the altar shrine, which is rather unusual for Mecklenburg, and the box wings suggest that it was created in the Oberbruch region (Frankfurt/Oder). On the left is the pulpit from the early 18th century. The four evangelists are immortalized on the pulpit. In the bell tower, which can be reached via a separate staircase, there are two medieval bells. The parish cemetery is also located on the church grounds. Here you will find the resting place of the former estate manager J.F. Schecker, who served the Low German writer Fritz Reuter as a model for his famous novel character "Unkel Bräsig". Guided tours of Jürgenstorf church are possible by prior arrangement by telephone. Please contact Heidelore Köhler on 039955 20782 or 0162 9894557.

Stavenhagen Castle and Castle Park

● Stavenhagen

Stavenhagen Castle in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was built in 1740 in the Baroque style on the ruins of a burnt-down castle. It was never intended as a dowager's residence, but was used as a district court, school and later as an administrative building. Today it houses the registry office and the municipal administration and is situated in a restored castle park. The current building stands on the foundations of an older castle complex and was originally intended as a residence for a dowager duke - a plan that was never realized. Instead, the castle developed into a central administrative location over the centuries. It served as an official residence and later as a school and accommodation for refugees after the Second World War. A striking stair tower was added in 1890 and still characterizes the silhouette of the building today. After reunification, the castle was extensively renovated and has been used by the town of Stavenhagen ever since. Today it houses the town council and the registry office. The adjoining castle park with its old trees and restored wall was redesigned between 2001 and 2006 and invites visitors to linger. Stavenhagen Castle combines historical substance with modern use - a lively place with history.
