Dreieinigkeitskirche (Hamburg-Allermöhe)
The Evangelical-Lutheran Trinity Church ( ) in Hamburg-Allermöhe is located on the Allermöher Deich directly on the Dove Elbe .
Building the church
As early as 1331, a church in Allermöhe was first mentioned in a document in connection with the sale of church bells. However, there is only speculation about the location and construction of this church. A church building consecrated to the Apostle Peter is secured as the predecessor of today's church. From this building, the squat wooden bell tower is still preserved, the oldest parts of which date from the years before 1580 and which is considered to be the oldest preserved structure in the marshland .
The single-nave brick building by the architect Simon Lange dates from 1611 to 1614 and was consecrated on February 2, 1614. The half-timbered hall with a wooden barrel ceiling and a five-sided choir closure is a type of building that is often found in churches in the Vier- und Marschlande . The church was slightly changed twice in the 18th century, with the entire south wall with the striking, massive box cornice being rebuilt in 1750.
The major repairs were carried out between 1900 and 1901 under the direction of Hugo Groothoff . After extensive discussion, the municipality and the Hamburg monument protection authority , which was headed by Justus Brinckmann at the time, decided against a new building and in favor of repairs. In the run-up to this work, the first comprehensive photo documentation of the building and its equipment was created. Even though on June 27, 1900 almost all the interior furnishings were destroyed in a fire in the pastorate, the renovation could be completed according to plan. Not only because of the loss of equipment, it led to a fundamental redesign of the interior, in which all old grave slabs were removed from the floor and placed on the side walls.
Furnishing
After the church furnishings were lost in 1900/01, replacement or restoration dragged on until the late 1950s. The winged altar , which was not removed from the church and was created by the Hamburg sculptor and wood carver Hein Baxmann in 1613/1614, is the only completely preserved piece of the original interior. Pulpit and stalls are new buildings, which were modeled on the burned pieces and in which still usable parts of the old furnishings were used.
The very elaborate and colorfully designed altar focuses on a crucifixion scene, which is framed by diverse biblical scenes. The frame shows three scenes from the New Testament on the right and three scenes from the Old Testament on the left , the coronation shows a representation of the Last Judgment . Since 1640, the altar has had a final, fully plastic figure of the risen Christ , which, however, can no longer be made by Baxmann himself. The altar is also decorated with rich ornaments, coats of arms of the donors and two figures of Moses and John the Baptist . During a restoration in 1952/1953, the colors were restored using the originally used technique of color glaze on gold or silver.
From the time before 1900 there are still sacrament implements, silver candlesticks, a Bible from 1700 and some paintings in the interior, including paintings by the painter Enoch Krull from 1725. In 1929 the church was thoroughly repainted, and he added more pictures in the galleries and on the altar Painter Max Grunwald in 1953 and 1957. In the pictures from the 1950s, the unusual reference to modern times and the town of Allermöhe is remarkable.
Bells
.Kriegerdenkmal.ajb.jpg)
The oldest bell in the church hangs in the bell tower, bears the name Osanna and is the work of the Lüneburg foundry Cort von der Heyde from the year 1483. It is made of bronze , weighs 650 kg and has the strike tone b 1 −5 . Its inscription reads "osana het ich, Cord va de Heyde gut myck ano dmni MCCCCLXXXIII", on the flanks it shows a Mary with the Christ child and a Peter.
The largest bell is a bronze bell that the Hamburg foundry Johann Andreas Bieber made in 1735 from an older, cracked predecessor bell . With a diameter of 1320 mm, a height of 154 cm and a weight of 1650 kg, it has the strike note e 1 −2. This bell was supposed to be melted down for armament purposes shortly before the end of the First World War , but returned to Allermöhe in 1919. However, it probably jumped during transport, so that it could no longer be used for its actual purpose and was exhibited as an object in the Museum of Hamburg History until the 1990s . It was only when the technical prerequisites were available at the Lachenmeyer bell welding shop in Nördlingen to be able to repair the crack that the repaired bell was returned to the completely renovated bell cage on September 3, 1994.
The church's newest bell was also installed in the tower in 1994. It is a new bronze cast from the Bachert bell foundry and a foundation for the 175th anniversary of the Iversen, Dimier & Cie. Her inscription reads "Peace, Peace, to those in the distance and to those near" ( Isa. 57,19 LUT ), on the flank is her name " Shalom " in Hebrew letters . With a diameter of 1135 mm and a weight of 1064 kg, it has the strike note f sharp 1 −4.
The two large iron bells now standing in front of the monument to the fallen of the world wars were the predecessors of the Shalom and Bieber bells until 1994.
organ
Even if the main beam of the organ loft the inscription "Anno + 1637 + is disse organ gebuwet Godt tho honor unde the Kaspel tuom best" is to be read, the church now has her third instrument. Of the first organ that came into the church 23 years after its inauguration, the builder Gottfried Fritzsche (Frietzsch) is known, but the disposition is not known. In 1710 a renovation was carried out by Christoph Treutmann , in 1745 a renovation by Johann Dietrich Busch and in 1778 another one by Johann Paul Geycke . Christian Heinrich Wolfsteller reworked the organ in 1886. There are still photos of her from 1900. Due to the renovation in 1900, the instrument was also removed from the church and stored in the pastorate, where it was destroyed in the fire.
On August 5, 1906, the second organ of the church was inaugurated, which had been supplied by the organ builder Paul Rother from Hamburg and had 18 stops , divided into two manuals and a pedal . The prospectus was revised in 1957 by Fred Ther (Hamburg).
After more than 60 years of use, this organ became unplayable in 1972 and was replaced by a Führer organ built into the existing 1906 case . This organ also has 18 registers with 1378 pipes. It is a two-manual mechanical slide organ with main unit, upper unit and independent pedal. Your current disposition is:
