Christ Church (Rendsburg)
The Christkirche is a house of worship of the Evangelical Lutheran Christian church community in Rendsburg .
history
The building of the Christkirche was built between 1695 and 1700 in connection with the extension of the Neuwerk fortress in Rendsburg based on a design by Hans van Steenwinckel . The execution was initially entrusted to D. Vijfhuysen, and from 1698 to the architect Dominicus Pelli . After its inauguration in 1700, the church served as a garrison church for the officers and soldiers of the then Danish garrison. Besides Jesus Christ , it owes its name to the Danish King Christian V , on whose order it was built. The service with Provost Johann Friedrich Callisen on April 3, 1848 marked the beginning of the Schleswig-Holstein uprising .
The community initially encompassed a larger area: After the parishes of Büdelsdorf and Rickert became independent in 1949 and the parishes of Fockbek , St. Jürgen Rendsburg and Westerrönfeld in 1968 , the Rendsburg districts of Neuwerk, Hoheluft and Rendsburg-Süd and the district harbor area remained with the Christian parish. With the withdrawal of troops from the city of Rendsburg, the importance of the garrison for the Christian parish has declined significantly.
Construction and equipment
The Christ Church is a simple brick building on the plan of a Greek cross based on the model of the Copenhagen Holmens Kirke . The west tower is only low due to fortress reasons. A crypt for the family of the city commandant Andreas Fuchs, who died in 1720, and the sacristy were added to the east wing .
Inside, two boards with barrel vaults cross each other . The sober architecture is magnificently balanced by the rich painting and the partially gilded inventory from the early 18th century. Most of the furnishings were specially made for the Christ Church, only the altar structure dates from 1662/63 and had previously been in the church in Glückstadt . The royal box on the south side of the choir opposite the pulpit bears the monogram of Frederick IV and can still only be used by members of the Danish royal family.
