Warnemünde Church

The church of Warnemünde stands for over one hundred years in the middle of the town and is the center of the Evangelical Lutheran congregation.

The new building, designed by architect, Krueger of Schwerin, and built by master builder Wachenhusen of Rostock, was erected on the western outskirts of the settlement, but nowadays is the centre of the town.

The church therefore is in fact relatively young, but decorated with major furnishings that were inherited from the earlier building.

In the right wing one can see five Acts: of which Paul and James the Elder are pilgrims, Judas Thaddeus with club and two female saints, including St. Elizabeth recognizable on the pitcher and the plate.

On the predella above the table are in the middle: Christ crowned with thorns, right the St. Elizabeth and Mary Magdalene, left St. Agnes and St. Barbara with a chalice.

This portrait was traditionally adored with special affection by the Warnemünder: This saint found his life's mission in helping people overcoming waters, an activity that was also a business of the local fishermen.

The name of this saint is often seen in public life: For example, the rescue helicopters in Germany, have the radio call Christopher.

Who uses it has, in quiet and stormy days, at home and on rough Sea a foothold, that man in life and death can trust."

Partially hidden in the grass in front of the east chancel of the church is a 2.65-meter × 1.70-meter large stone slab, which probably was in the 19th century on the sidewalk to the parsonage.

This slab has experienced four other overhauls before it ceased to be used because burials in the churches were abandoned for reasons of hygiene in the mid-19th century.
