The Protestant village church Struppen is a hall church in Struppen in the district of Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains in Saxony . It belongs to the Struppen parish in the Pirna church district of the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Saxony and is best known for its originally baroque organ.

History and architecture

The Struppen village church is a hall church from the second half of the 13th century , which has been modified several times, with a choir tower raised in 1695 , the interior being mainly characterized by the baroque expansion of 1736. A restoration took place after 1978. A southern porch with a semicircular stair tower , mansion and volute gable from around 1600 gave the exterior of the church a visible side that includes the broad, arched portal from the 13th century. A smaller gate from the 13th century is arranged at the choir. The octagonal upper floor of the tower is closed off by a curved dome with a lantern and an onion. The nave is covered by a high gable roof with a stepped gable.

The retracted, square choir shows the first early Gothic forms and is finished with a ribbed vault on consoles with a hanging keystone . There is a small pointed arch window in the east wall. The triumphal arch has a slightly stilted round arched shape.

The ceiling in the hall is structured by fine stucco moldings. Two-storey galleries are arranged in the south and west. Medieval wall paintings have been exposed on the wall next to the triumphal arch. The sacristy, which dates from the 13th century, is closed with a barrel vault.

Furnishing

The simple furnishings include a classical font and a pulpit with neo-renaissance forms. Of the epitaphs , a simple work for Pastor Alardus († 1689) and a more elaborate one for Major General von Bolberitz († 1769) should be mentioned.

The organ is a work by Johann Daniel Ranft from 1785 with originally 12 stops on a manual and pedal . A repair from 1839 has survived. In 1896 the trumpet bass 8 'and the fifth 3' were removed and instead a cello bass 8 ', a salicet 4' and a viol 8 'were installed on an additional loop. In 1917 the prospect pipes were removed. In 1927 the organ probably received its zinc prospectus from the Jehmlich company , and a second manual with the parts Flute 8 ′, Aeoline 8 ′ and Salicet 4 ′ was installed. In 1951 the company Eule Orgelbau Bautzen built a fifth 2 2 ⁄ 3  ′ and a sifflet 1 ′ in place of the viol 8 ′. Georg Wünning restored the single-manual system in 2010 and restored the work to its original state. The disposition is:

Quinta viola 8th'
