Heilgeist Church

● Stralsund

One of the best-preserved hospital complexes on the southern Baltic Sea coast. Along with the hospital in Lübeck, the Heilgeist Hospital is one of the best-preserved hospital complexes on the southern Baltic Sea coast. The oldest part of the hospital is the Heilgeist Church. It dates back to the early 15th century. The small, four-bay hall church has a straight choir apse and features a Baroque altarpiece from around 1770. In addition to the west portal, which leads to the waterway, the church has an east portal as well as two doors on the east gallery through which one enters the so-called church corridor. It is formed by two parallel, two-story wings that were added to the church around 1645 and served to house the sick, the infirm, and the elderly. The passage is closed off to the east by a gate that separates the church passage from the rest of the hospital. In 1680, a gallery was built into the church corridor, which served as the model for the colonnade of City Hall. Before 1945, the Heilgeistkirche served as a garrison church and is now used as a place of worship for the St. James parish. The restored church corridor has been converted into apartments.

● Kemnitz

The Holy Cross Church in Kemnitz has a long history. In the Kemnitz rectory, right next to the church, there is a small exhibition dedicated to the painter Friedrich August von Klinkowström. The baptismal register contains the entry for the birth of the future painter, educator, and writer. The themed cycling route “Route of North German Romanticism,” which runs from Greifswald to Wolgast, leads, among other places, to the sites associated with this Romantic painter. The Kemnitz church was built around 1300. The Eldena Monastery sponsored the construction of the church, which was expanded several times over the following centuries but also suffered severe damage. The church acquired its current appearance in the mid-18th century. The Neo-Gothic church tower with its four small corner turrets was built in the 19th century. The church is a listed historic monument. Holy Cross churches are churches dedicated to or named after the Holy Cross on which Jesus died. There are three other churches with this name in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: in Rambin on Rügen, in Rostock, and in Waren.

He collected many everyday objects from times past. In 1962, Erich Mundstock established the local history museum at the Freest school, thereby giving his collection a permanent home. Upon his death in 1987, the original local history museum was closed. After the political transition in the GDR, the former customs house—which had been used as an NVA base for decades—was handed over to the municipality of Kröslin. In 1992, the Freester Heimatstube was reopened in the building’s rooms. Today, it comprises seven rooms for permanent exhibitions as well as spaces for temporary exhibitions and lectures. Visitors to the local history museum can take a journey back in time to an old-fashioned living room and kitchen, as well as a bedroom and a schoolroom. All of the items—including dolls and doll carriages, a sewing room, and a hairdressing salon—were donated by people from the region. The most famous exhibits in the local history museum, however, are the Freest fishermen’s rugs. Crafted by residents of the community, each rug tells its own story.
