The Evangelical Church in Hausen-Oes , a district of Butzbach in the Wetteraukreis in Central Hesse , is a small hall church that was built in the years 1859/1860 instead of a previous medieval building. The Hessian cultural monument has an octagonal ridge turret with a pointed helmet in the west.

history

A medieval chapel is said to have been built around 1300. In Hausen there was evidence of a pleban in 1319 . The chapel was raised to an independent parish church around 1435 and formed its own broadcasting district . In the Middle Ages it was assigned to the parish of Münster , which was part of the Friedberg deacon in the Archdeacon of St. Maria ad Gradus in the Archdiocese of Mainz . With the introduction of the Reformation , the parish changed to the Protestant creed.

The current church was built between 1859 and 1860 on the foundations of the previous medieval building. The inauguration took place on October 14, 1860. Since the bell had jumped out of the old church, two new bells were cast in 1862. The larger one had to be delivered to the armaments industry in 1941 and was replaced in the mid-1950s.

The parish of Hausen-Oes has a parish relationship with Hoch-Weisel . She is assigned to the deanery Wetterau in the provost of Upper Hesse in the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau .

architecture

View from the northeast

The east-facing , white plastered hall church on a rectangular floor plan is built in the center of the village. The walls were made up to the window cornices with rubble masonry that came from the old church. Burnt clay bricks were used in the upper area . The north side is a pilaster divided into two fields and has corner pilaster strips. The interior is illuminated by two large windows on the long sides and one large arched window on the east side. The west side is windowless. The east window was replaced at the beginning of the 1990s and is decorated with ornaments that match the inlays of the pulpit. A simple, rectangular west portal under a slated canopy opens up the building.

In the West, which is the gabled roof , a fully verschieferter, octagonal roof turret mounted. A small pointed tower rises above the bell chamber with four arched sound openings, which is crowned by a tower knob, a wrought-iron cross and a weathercock.

Furnishing

Renaissance pulpit
Interior to the east

The interior is closed off by a flat ceiling. A wooden gallery is built into the western end of the gable and rests on square wooden posts, which are octagonal in the upper part and have curved arches . The simple coffered fillings of the gallery parapet can also be found in the parapet of the stalls and in the lower part of the parish chair . The gallery bears a psalm verse as an inscription: "SACRIFY GOD THANKS AND PAY YOUR VOWS TO THE HIGHEST ONE" ( Ps 50,14  LUT ). A commemorative plaque for the seven fallen soldiers of the First World War from Hausen is hung under the gallery.

The most valuable inventory item is the polygonal Renaissance pulpit in the southeast corner, which was made in 1623 for the Marienstiftskirche Lich . When the collegiate church received a new pulpit in 1859, the old one was bequeathed to the church in Hausen. In 1765 she became the Licher church painter Daniel Hisgen newly adopted . The pulpit without a sound cover is richly decorated with inlays and carvings and served as a model for the pulpits of Fauerbach vor der Höhe , Hoch-Weisel and Nieder-Weisel . It stands on a square pedestal-like foot, above which volute-shaped arches support the pulpit. Round-arched niches with architraves and blown gables are embedded in the pulpit. Access to the pulpit is made possible by a parish chair, which has openwork lozenges in the upper part.

The simple, wooden church stalls have curved cheeks and leave a central aisle free. The block altar with base and plate is marbled white. Behind it, under the east window, there is a coat of arms of the von Eppstein family (after 1418), which was taken over from the previous church.

organ

Walcker organ from 1962

An organ was installed in the previous church in 1795 . Bernges' teacher repaired the instrument, which soon needed repairs and was not taken over to the new church. A harmonium was inaugurated there in 1863 , which from then on accompanied the singing. In 1978 the community acquired a small, used organ positive from Mümling-Grumbach , which was placed in the northeast corner. The Walcker company built the instrument with a mechanical action in 1962. It has five divided registers on a manual and a pedal register . The disposition is as follows:

Manual C – f 3
Gedackt B / D 8th'
Principal B / D 4 ′
Reed flute B / D 4 ′
Octave B / D 2 ′
Mixture II-III B / D
Pedal C – d 1
Sub-bass 16 ′
