Dreifaltigkeitskirche (Kaufbeuren)
The Evangelical Lutheran parish church of St. Trinity on Kaiser-Max-Straße in Kaufbeuren is one of the oldest Protestant sacred buildings in southern Swabia , which was rebuilt after the Reformation .
prehistory
The church was created in 1604 through the expansion and renovation of a representative secular building , the existence of which is documented from 1504. In the same year, the Habsburg Emperor Maximilian I , who frequently visited the imperial city , acquired it from the knight Sigmund von Freyberg zum Eisenberg . After Maximilian's death in 1519, the house came into the possession of his grandson King Ferdinand I. He swapped the property in 1535 with his councilor Hans Jakob von Landau zu Waal , who transferred it to the city of Kaufbeuren in 1540. The “Kaiserhaus” was sold by the city to Messrs. Hans Jörg and David von Baumgarten, Barons of Hohenschwangau and Erbach, before they returned to their possession in 1565.
Building history
In 1604, when the city council made the house available to the evangelical community, the renovation work, which lasted only 30 weeks, began by master mason Georg Harrer and master carpenter Thomas Schweyer. Large parts of the former imperial family were taken over.
In 1736/37 the church was rebuilt.
The tower was built in 1821/22. At the same time, the sacred building was increased, and the roof and vaults were renewed. The interior was redesigned in 1901, the facade in 1911. Restoration took place in 1979.
In the course of renovation work in 2002, the cellar rooms of the former imperial house under the Trinity Church were archaeologically recorded. The cellars had been filled with rubble during the measures of 1820/21. During the investigations, four different building phases could be detected in the masonry, whereby the building fabric of the oldest of tuff stone and brook cats could come from the Staufer time of Kaufbeuren. Due to the exposed location and formal similarities to well-known buildings, the previously unlocated official residence of the Hohenstaufen mayor is assumed to be behind this predecessor of the imperial family . This first appeared in writing in 1224 in Kaufbeuren.
Construction and equipment
The facade facing Kaiser-Max-Straße has a high main floor, which rises above a basement and is equipped with four ogival windows. The wall structure of the facade and the framing of the portals are modern, while the empire carvings date from around 1822. The two-storey, curved gable no longer has its original shape.
The church tower with a curved dome connects to the east of the facade.
The Dreifaltigkeitskirche has a flat barrel vault with stitch caps . With the exception of two transversely oval windows, the church windows are shaped like a pointed arch. The two galleries were added as part of the renovation work in 1736/37. The pulpit , a wooden structure with modern gray paint and rocailles decor , was created in 1764. Many of the paintings are from the hand of Hans Ulrich Franck and were created in the 17th century.
The baptismal font and stalls in the church are modern.
organ
From 1963 the church had a five-manual organ made by the local company Gerhard Schmid with 57 registers. This was used up after the turn of the millennium. In 2013 the organ building company Seifert ( Kevelaer ) built a new organ. The instrument has 51 stops on three manual works and a pedal . The key actions and couplings are mechanical, the stop actions are electrical.
