Sünna village church
The Evangelical Lutheran village church Sünna is located in the district Sünna of the unified community of Unterbreizbach in the Wartburg district in Thuringia .
history
Already in the 11th century to worship in Sünna have stood. The substructure of the tower proves it with its arched windows, the gate and quatrefoil opening. In the Gothic period, renovations were often carried out, which were carried out around 1385 and 1444.
In 1385, the stone floors of the tower were probably used to fortify the defensive wall . Today's outer walls, the pulpit and the font originate from the period around 1616 .
After the Thirty Years' War , the faithful restored the devastated church until 1670. As part of a baroque redesign around 1720, a single-manual slide organ with a pedal was installed by Johann Eberhard Dauphin from Mühlhausen . The balustrade fields of the galleries were decorated with biblical images by Gustav Altmöller from Schenklengsfeld until around 1728. The associated ceiling painting was destroyed in 1905.
In 1756 the tower was given two additional half-timbered floors in which the bronze bells hung. These came from the 14th century and were lost during the First World War . Steel bells from 1923 now hang in the tower.
Structural damage to the church soon led to its demolition in the 20th century. The political turning point came and the resurrection of the Church was initiated.
organ
The organ goes back to Johann Eberhard Dauphin , who created a new work with ten registers in 1719/1720 . It seems to be Dauphin's only new organ in Thuringia. About ten works by the organ builder have been found in Northern Hesse. The surviving Dauphin pipes in Sünna were made in the workshop of Johann Friedrich Wender , who built the organ of the Bach Church in Arnstadt from 1699–1703 . The prospectus in Sünna corresponds to the five-axis central German normal type with a raised round central tower and two pointed towers on the outside, which are connected by flat pipes.
The organ builder Georg Friedrich Wagner (Hersfeld) rebuilt the organ in 1856/1857 in the romantic style and replaced several registers. In 1918 restoration work followed by Alfred Hartmann (Jena) and Erich Blaufuß (Sünna) and in 1927 by Markert (Ostheim). The Böhm company (Gotha) rebuilt the organ in 1966 and gave it a neo-baroque sound. The parish is currently striving to restore it to its original state. Today's disposition is as follows:
