Resurrection Church (Jagstfeld)
The Church of the Resurrection is a Roman Catholic parish church in Bad Friedrichshall-Jagstfeld on the right bank of the Neckar in the Heilbronn district in northern Baden-Württemberg .
history
After the historic Catholic Wendelinus Church in Jagstfeld had become too small, efforts were made to build a new Catholic church in Jagstfeld as early as 1919. When numerous Catholic expellees and refugees came to Bad Friedrichshall after the Second World War , building a new church became inevitable. Old collections of donations since 1919 were first destroyed by inflation, and after the Second World War by currency reform , so that from 1950 onwards a new collection provided the funds required for construction.
The church was built from 1953 to 1957 according to plans by the Schorndorf architect Fritz Vogt and consecrated in May 1957.
description
The structure of the hall-like, rectangular church building is considered simple and functional. The free-standing, slim bell tower is 28 meters high and is connected to the church via a walkway on the forecourt.
The stained glass windows of the church come from the Stuttgart professor Manfred Henninger and the Bad Friedrichshall artist Hans Schreiner and have the Stations of the Cross in the side aisle, the Adoration of Mary in the side chapel and the Resurrection and the Whitsun miracle in the south-east wall . The altar cross was designed by Luitgard Müller and shows the instruments of torture and wounds of Jesus as red enamel work. The tabernacle of the Jagstfelder Robert Förch is also made in enamel .
The wooden, approximately 125 cm high crescent moon Madonna is a copy of a historical figure from around 1500 stolen in 1976 by the N. Eckert workshop in Bad Mergentheim.
The Way of the Cross , originally built by Roman Mayan and consisting of 14 stations , which was laid out in 1936 at the Christ the King's Chapel in Kocherwald , has been located on the western outside of the church since the 1970s .
