history
In 1926 the church council decided to build the church. The design was by Theodor Fischer ; the foundation stone was laid in September 1927. The inauguration took place in September 1928.
In the 1970s the church was listed as a historical monument . The last major renovation to date took place by 2005; at the same time a new organ was inaugurated.
Architecture and equipment
The hall church , built of red brick , is characterized by a rectangular floor plan - with two extensions - and two short towers with a square floor plan. In the east there is an apse , in the south a sacristy . At the portal there are sculptures by Friedrich Lommel , which represent the symbols of the four evangelists . The tympanum under the keystone shows the Lamb of God and the letters Alpha and Omega .
The relatively small interior is largely axially symmetrical. The flat coffered ceiling is made of larch wood . To the left and right of the aisle are benches made of the same material. The floor is covered with Solnhofen slate . The wall behind the altar shows frescoes by Max Unold , which depict biblical scenes under one word from Psalm 36 . The altarpiece in the apse shows Christ in the Byzantine style . The pulpit on the left bears the fresco of a vine , also created by Unold . To the right of the altar there is a barred cabinet in which the sacrament utensils are kept. The font was made in 2005 by Helmut Ulrich from Wachenzeller dolomite . The floor panels below the font are made of the same material. In the same year Ulrich also created the altar cross and the Easter candlestick.
On the back wall is the organ gallery with the organ, the bluish prospect of which takes up the main color of the altarpiece. Two niches are also symmetrically embedded in the wall, each with a bench.
The organ was built by Gerhard and Markus Lenter from Sachsenheim as their second new building. It consists of the two manual works on the left and right and the console as well as the pedal work behind it in the middle. In its tonal language it is attributed to the early romanticism .
