Village church Lohmen (Saxony)
The Protestant village church Lohmen (also: Philippuskirche ) is a baroque central building in Lohmen in the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains in Saxony . It belongs to the parish of Lohmen in the church district of Pirna of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony and is known for its well-preserved organ by Johann Christian Kayser , which is still very much in the tradition of Gottfried Silbermann .
History and architecture
The church in Lohmen is a central building in the shape of an elongated octagon, which was built in 1786–1789 by the council mason Johann Daniel Kayser from Pirna and the carpenter Christian Gotthelf Reuther from Kreischa based on the model of the church in Pretzschendorf . Restorations were carried out in 1889, 1952–1954 and 1986–1988. The stone construction is characterized by high arched windows and a high three-story tower on the south side. The two lower tower floors are square, the upper one octagonal; the weather vane bears the year 1789. The entrance portal, which bears the same year, is arranged in the tower. The sacristy is built on the north side . The interior is light and generously designed as a transverse church with surrounding three-storey wooden galleries on the east, south and west walls. In accordance with the Protestant requirements for a church interior, the church is equipped with a central baptismal font, pulpit altar and organ above, as well as pews aligned with this axis. A mirror vault completes the room. Three simple patron saints are arranged on the south side.
Furnishing
The equipment consists of a pulpit altar in the form of a portico , the baptismal font and the organ from the construction period 1788/1789. The body of a wooden crucifix in the middle box dates from the 17th century. There are also three paintings of the old winged altar by Heinrich Göding (1531–1606), marked with the year 1575; the central panel shows the crucifixion, the wings the birth and resurrection. A memorial plaque with fluted pilasters and a dove of peace and the inscription: "The dead warn / 1944 - 1945" is attached to the western churchyard wall. Another sandstone memorial plaque from 1973 for the versatile theologian and writer Carl Heinrich Nicolai can be found in the churchyard.
organ
The organ is a work by Johann Christian Kayser from 1789 with 18 stops on two manuals and a pedal . In 1902 Johannes Jahn built three bowing stops in place of Quinta 2 2 ⁄ 3 ′, Quinta 1 1 ⁄ 2 ′ and Sifflöt 1 ′. In 1938, Alfred Schmeisser reconstructed the registers that had been removed and restored the original disposition. The organ was restored in 1964 and 2008 by the company Eule Orgelbau Bautzen .
