Cemetery chapel and station of the hail procession

The Anna Chapel is a baroque cemetery chapel built in 1732 on the Lohkirchhof in the Loburg Ostbevern peasantry . It is not far from Loburg Castle in Loburg Park and was built as a station for the Eucharistic procession of the parish and as a burial place. The chapel and the surrounding cemetery have been a listed building since 1994 .

description

The anthracite-colored, rectangular plastered building is about three meters high. On the front side there is a two-winged entrance door, which is framed by a lintel made of Baumberger sandstone . The over door is reminiscent of the renovations. Above that there is a console and an oval round window. As a tympanum in the top of the gable is the coat of arms of those of Beverförde zu Werries (right) and Elverfeldt (left). On the gable roof of the nave there is a small belfry in the form of a ridge with a bell. The nave ends in the crossing in a transept with a western and an eastern arm. The transept looks modest in relation to the chapel; the two gable roofs do not extend to the roof ridge of the nave. An arched window is let into the front of each cross arm. Up until the 1960s, in the western niche of the crossing, between the transept and the nave, there was an outside pulpit with stone stairs, which was intended for the holy mass during the hail procession.

history

Anna Freiin von Nagel zur Loburg and Keuschenburg born. Nagel zu Herl, the likely namesake and co-builder of the chapel, † 1760 in Ostbevern, grave not preserved

In view of the long tradition of the hail procession , it can be assumed that the Anna-Kapellen-Kamp was already used as a blessing station in the Middle Ages. So it would also be likely that a previous building was there; the current chapel must have been built in 1732 by Josef Marsil Wilhelm Xaver von Nagel zur Loburg and initially had no name. Presumably Johann Conrad Schlaun was the architect of the Anna-Kapelle, since he worked as chief building director in Münster from 1729 and bears his artistic signature. Allegedly, all building plans or documents that could have provided more detailed information were destroyed in the Loburg castle fire. However, in 1761 the parish required the owner to enter into a contract by obliging him to keep the chapel in good condition for himself and his descendants and to provide everything necessary for the celebration of Holy Mass . About its purpose it says that it was built "in finem, ut in theophoria, qua annuatim per parochiam celebrari contingit, sacrum cum statione, et concinone peragatur." that is, “for the purpose of having a St. Mass is to be celebrated with sermon and station. ”The religious significance of the place as well as the building can be gauged from the fact that the Bishop of Munster was granted general permission for Holy Mass, but this did not affect the rights of the local pastor. However, this did not prevent tensions between the pastor and the clergyman of the Loburg about the use. In the year the contract was signed, von Nagel fulfilled his obligation and renovated the building. From 1771 it already bore the familiar name; from which it can be concluded without a doubt that Wilhelmine von und zu Westerholt-Gysenberg cannot be considered as the namesake, but perhaps Maria Anna Adolphine von Nagel zur Loburg, the client's wife, or Elisabeth Anna Droste von der Loburg, his grandmother. The area served as a burial place as early as the Baroque period, but the graves have not been preserved. On June 7, 1785, the heavily indebted von Nagel sold the Loburg and with it the Anna Chapel in a foreclosure auction to Friedrich von Beverförde . In 1834 it was renovated or redesigned for the second time, which probably served the purpose of preparing it as a burial place for Friedrich von Beverförde , who was then also buried there in 1835. In 1852 his wife Wilhelmine von und zu Westerholt-Gysenberg was also buried there by his side. The von Beverförde family's private cemetery was built around the chapel, measuring ¼ hectare . Today it houses 29 visible graves belonging to the family or from the surrounding area; the youngest grave is: Nikolaus von und zur Mühlen (* December 6, 1931 in Haus Ruhr † December 10, 2013 in Ostbevern).

use

The cemetery by the Anna Chapel already served as a cemetery in the barracks, but the oldest visible grave is from 1838

The chapel is used as a cemetery chapel , as a burial place for Friedrich and Anna von Beverfoerde zu Werries, as a processionary station and as a family chapel for the von Beverfoerde zu Werries family chapel . Every year on November 3rd, on the name day of St. Hubertus of Liège , the entire family meets there for a service.

Station of the hail procession

The hail procession in Ostbevern started at the latest in the 19th century from the parish church of St. Ambrosius via the first two blessing stations at Brinkjans Krüüs and at the Marienkapelle to the Anna chapel, where the third blessing was given in the Lohkirchhof. Then they pulled over the Lienener Damm, where the fourth and last blessing station was at the statue of Saint Donatus , back to the parish church. Since the 1970s, the procession has been moving to the Anna Chapel without a stop. There, as in previous years, Holy Mass is celebrated, and the faithful return with the Holy of Holies in a Eucharistic procession directly to the parish church, where the final blessing is given.
