Bargebur Church

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bargebur Church.

The Reformed Bargebur Church in the East Frisian city ​​of Norden was built as a hall church in 1684 against the massive resistance of Northern Lutherans under the protection of Brandenburg troops .

history

After the Reformation , a sometimes bitter dispute broke out between Calvinist Protestants and Lutherans in the north , in which the Lutheran clergy were able to prevail. The citizens of Northern subsequently refused to allow the Evangelical Reformed Christians to build their church within the then urban area. The Reformed Christians had to leave the city for church services. From 1559 at the latest, the Lords of Lütetsburg made the chapel in their castle available to them. In 1680, the then Count von Lütetsburg, Dodo (II.) Zu Innhausen and Knyphausen, allowed the construction of a church on his property that reached up to the city limits. When the enclosing walls were already completed in the same year, citizens of the north stormed the construction site and tore down the walls. Only after the reformed Great Elector of Brandenburg , who was occupying Greetsiel at that time , relocated troops there in 1684, the building could be completed.

The interior is closed at the top with a wooden vault. The rectangular room has four arched windows on each of the long sides. A two-wing portal is inserted on the west side. On the south side there is an extension that was built later and is decorated with a curved baroque gable.

The Inn- and zu Knyphausen family's Prieche is on the north wall . Below it is the family crypt, in which all family members were buried until 1790.

organ

Beckmann organ

The first organ was built by Johann Friedrich Constabel in 1738 , but sold to Hamswehrum in 1864 , where it was played in church services until 1967. Finally the instrument got its current location in Jennelt. After the restoration by Ahrend & Brunzema (1970), the original sound can be heard again. It is considered to be the only almost completely preserved (apart from three registers) Constabel's organ.

As a replacement, the community procured an organ from W. Beckmann from Einbeck in 1864 . It has essentially been preserved, but has been changed several times. In the 20th century the disposition was changed by Karl Puchar, Max Maucher and Alfred Führer. In 2004 the instrument was renovated by Bartelt Immer .
