Old Chapel (Heidelberg-Wieblingen)
The old chapel in the former castle park of the Heidelberg district of Wieblingen serves as the school chapel of the Elisabeth von Thadden School . It consists of remains of the former Wieblingen parish church.
The tower, choir and sacristy have been preserved from the old parish church. The substructure of the tower comes from an earlier church from the 10th century, the upper part of the tower was renewed in 1809/10 in the classical style. In the 15th century the nave and choir were rebuilt and consecrated to Saints Valentin and Bartholomäus . Until the beginning of the 20th century it served the growing Evangelical community of Wieblingen as a parish church. After the completion of a larger new building, the Kreuzkirche approx. 250 m away , in 1906 the nave was demolished. In the polygonal closed late Gothic choir with ribbed vaults and keystones in relief, there are paintings from the early 16th century: Christ as judge of the world, evangelist symbols and plant motifs.
The chapel has an organ with two manuals and seven registers.
