Peckatel Village Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The village church of Peckatel in the municipality of Plate in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is considered the smallest half-timbered church in Mecklenburg. It was built in 1692. It is closed on three sides in the east. To the west is a low, wooden boardwalk with pitched roof. The boards are said to have been obtained from the wood of the previous building. The roofing consists of beaver tails in crowning. The church is surrounded by a village green covered with old trees, which used to be a cemetery.

Village Church Sukow

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of Sukow was inaugurated in 1883. The Neo-Gothic brick building has a choir ending from the octagon and a tower that rises on three floors. In 1908, the altarpiece (Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane) and the organ were purchased.
 
An old altarpiece from a previous chapel was rediscovered during construction. The three-part painting depicts the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and the Entombment of Jesus. On the back is noted that David Hille, court painter from Schwerin, painted the picture 1700.

Village Church Banzkow

Highlight • Religious Site

The old village church of Banzkow was demolished around 1870. In its place, the current church building was erected in 1872 according to plans by the architect Theodor Krüger and consecrated in 1875. It is a hall church with a four-bay nave and a polygonal apse. The east gable shows panel structure. The three-storey west tower has an octagonal attachment with a pointed helmet in the upper part.

Sluice:
In the course of making the Stör navigable in 1576, the first lock was built in Banzkow. The sturgeon plays an increasingly important role as a transport route. It became necessary to use ships that were as large as possible for the transport of goods. The existing lock no longer served this purpose. It was converted to the Finow size (barges with a carrying capacity of up to around 200 t).

Bridge:
A crossing over the Stör has always been of particular importance to Banzkow. An important trade route from Hamburg to Neubrandenburg ran through Banzkow. Travelers from Lübeck to Crivitz also passed through here. The importance of the Banzkow Bridge can be seen from the fact that in 1800 many freight teams and cattle used this route over the Stör every day.

In front of the lock in 1897 a two-way swing bridge was erected, which was initially opened by hand and later by an electric drive. In 1952 construction work on the swing bridge was required. The spans were increased to 5.90 m and 7.70 m, the clear height was therefore 1 m. Over the years, the entire road surface, which consisted of thick wooden planks, had to be renewed several times.
In 2002, the municipality of Banzkow received a completely new bascule bridge over the Stör Canal.

Meadow view near Banzkow

Highlight • Viewpoint

As I cycled past here, I spontaneously stopped to enjoy the great view of the meadows.
Two information boards on stones along the way tell about old legends from the area.
