St. Evergislus (Plittersdorf)
St. Evergislus is a Roman Catholic church in the Plittersdorf district of the Bad Godesberg district of Bonn . The church is dedicated to St. Evergislus . It stands together with a stone wegekreuz from 1635 and the associated cemetery as a monument under monument protection .
location
The church is located on the left bank of the Rhine on Von-Sandt-Ufer and is separated from the Rhine by the promenade and the attached cemetery. In the north is the Carstanjen mausoleum , in the south on the opposite side of the street the rectory and the parish hall. To the east is a parking lot and Auerhofstrasse.
history
Until the demolition in 1871, there was a chapel on the site of today's cemetery, which belonged to the parish of Rüngsdorf. Its bell has been preserved to this day and hangs in the church tower of St. Evergislus. In 1863 the parish became independent. In 1870 the Auerhof owner Johann Adolf Solf donated a building plot next to the chapel to the Archdiocese of Cologne . The city architect Paul Richard Thomann was appointed building planner, and the church was consecrated on August 7, 1875 by Cardinal Melchers . Due to the rapidly growing community, expansion measures were carried out in 1911 under the direction of architect Jakob Stumpf . With the addition of low aisles, the church was given the appearance of a basilica and the church was designed in a neo-Gothic style with sculptures and reliefs .
In the 1950s, St. Evergilus was expanded to include other sacred works of art, including works by Carl van Ackeren and Hans Driever . Since 2001 a steel cross created by Hermann J. Kassel has been emblazoned above the altar .
architecture
The brick building extends in a north-south direction. At the south end of the facade is a tower with the main entrance. The facades are largely unadorned. The main building has a cross-shaped floor plan made up of the main and transepts. The main nave is flanked by lower aisles, which give the facade a basilica-like appearance. The church is dominated in the bright interior by color-contrasting ribbed vaults and the five-sided choir .
organ
The instrument, built in 1954 by the Romanus Seifert company from Kevelaer, stands on steel girders floating freely and without a case with an open prospect above the organ loft. This was done for reasons of space, as the choir room on the gallery was to be kept. The work was created with a free-standing console, electric action , 2 manuals , pedal and 18 sounding stops .

Bells
The tower houses four bells . The oldest of these is the small measuring bell from 1854. In the interwar period, there was a four-part bell next to it, which, apart from the smallest bell, fell victim to the Second World War. In 1963 the Mabilon bell foundry added two large bells.
