Reinhardtsgrimma village church
The church of Reinhardtsgrimma is an Evangelical Lutheran church in Reinhardtsgrimma , a district of the town of Glashütte in the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains in the Free State of Saxony . It belongs to the parish Reinhardtsgrimma in the parish Glashütte of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony .
Building description
The church was created by the reconstruction of a late medieval building in 1742 by Andreas Hünigen . The structure shows a long, narrow nave , two small roof turrets and a massive west tower from the late Gothic period. The retracted choir from around 1600 is spanned by two reticulated vaults in late Gothic shapes. A barrel-vaulted sacristy on the north side of the choir dates from the Middle Ages. Restorations took place in 1932 and 1979/80. The church is accessed by a portal with fluted pilasters , a simple architrave and a profiled soffit . There are three extensions on the south side. The middle extension is two-story and has arched curtain windows on the upper floor , the slightly smaller eastern one is also two-story with arched curtain windows.
The interior of the nave has a flat roof and is dominated by the two-story built-in gallery. The manor's box with a large chapel room is located on the upper floor on the south side. In the choir there are also box fittings on the north and south sides.
Furnishing
The altar with the relief of the Last Supper dates from 1602 and was renewed in 1836. The pulpit is dated to the second half of the 17th century. In 1672 the Pirna painter Jacob Hennig made the pictures at the pulpit staircase. Numerous grave monuments, some of them very remarkable, can be found on the inside and outside walls of the church. Particularly noteworthy are a tombstone from the 14th century with a depiction of a knight and heavily weathered inscription in the sacristy on the north side of the choir and a stone for Christoph Friedrich von Tettau († 1664). Two gravestones with colored figures for Hans Heinrich von Schönberg († 1615) and his wife Elisabeth Drothin (von Trotha, † 1617) are placed on the southern wall of the nave. Next to it is a memorial to the siblings Johann George and Johanna Rosina Welk († 1729).
organ

The most outstanding piece of equipment in the church is the organ by Gottfried Silbermann, inaugurated in 1731 .
Building history
In October 1725 Gottfried Silbermann examined Reinhardtsgrimma , Christiane Eleonore von Trettau, born at the request of the widowed chamberlain . von Berbisdorf, the old organ, which was in an inconvenient place in the choir and still had the short octave . Silbermann determined that this organ was irreparable and in his report of October 17, 1725 proposed a disposition for a new, only slightly larger, two-manual organ, for which he demanded 800 thalers - without painting and carpentry work - a sum that at that time corresponded to the annual salary of a senior middle official; In addition, he demanded reimbursement of transport and accommodation costs during the construction of the new organ. This contract probably came about in June 1729, whereby Silbermann agreed to payment in installments.
Silbermann built this organ as his op. 21. The inauguration took place on January 6th, 1731. The acceptance test was carried out by Emanuel Behnisch , the organist at the time at the Dresden Kreuzkirche , who commented that he had “found the new organ to work everywhere”.
Overhauls took place in 1852 by the organ builder Karl Traugott Stöckel (Stoeckel) from Dippoldiswalde and in 1940 by Gebr. Jehmlich , Dresden. The last major restoration was carried out in 1997 by the Dresden organ builder Kristian Wegscheider . The most important measures here were the re-intonation , the reconstruction of the wedge-shaped fan and the creation of an unequal temperature .

perception
The organist Helmut Walcha (1907–1991) wrote about this organ:
“I got the strongest impression on my trip with a Silbermann organ in Reinhardtsgrimma. This two-manual work by Silbermann, unknown to me so far, is one of the most beautiful organs I know. The sound of this enchantingly beautiful organ is actually indescribable ... "
The Dresden Kreuz organist Herbert Collum valued “the little miracle of organ building” so much that with his “Collum Concerts” he initiated a series of organ concerts on Ascension Day in the Reinhardtsgrimma church.
