The Steintor

By the 1732 reconditioned stone gate with its deseamed pointed pointed-bent dazzle arrives we the Stolper suburb at the Gertrud churck on the Cemetery. Under the pomeranian polygonal churches the Rügenwalder Gertrud church, by beauty in the development of internal architecture, is absolutely entitled design and design in its plant the price. It is considered as a jewel among the north Germans buildings of churches. On a twelf division underbody rises a tent roof covered with bricks, which carries a high slim ridge turret with shingle. The inside shows a hexagonal main area with twelve-lateral handling. The whole design points to nordic influence. It is probable an establishment of king Erich as thank for a lucky rescue from distress. Their pulpit originating from the castle church is a piece of gloss of the timber architecture from the 16. Century. It stands on a carved angel figure. Korinthi columns frame the door and carry a combined pomeranian coat of arms. The stair parapet wall is arranged by free standing columns. The fillings shows a prophet picture. The sound cover, representing the mountain Tabor, is likewise connected by the pomeranian coat of arms with the lecture chair. The pulpit shows extremely rich figures and color decoration.
