The Evangelical Trinity Church is a baroque hall church in Neudrossenfeld in the Upper Franconian district of Kulmbach . It belongs to the Neudrossenfeld parish in the Bayreuth deanery of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria .
history
The Neudrossenfeld church is a unified baroque stone building built by Johann Georg Hoffmann and Johann Matthäus Gräf between 1737 and 1757. The building sculpture comes from Johann Friedrich Fischer. The building was erected in place of a choir tower from 1485. Today's east tower dates from 1760/1761. The interior was restored in 1958, with the original color scheme being restored. The building is a characteristic example of the church architecture in the margraviate of Brandenburg-Bayreuth , which was influenced by the pietistic superintendent Christoph Silchmüller and indirectly by the margravine Wilhelmine von Bayreuth .
architecture
The building with a rectangular floor plan and sloping corners in the east is divided into 5 to 3 axes, each of which is illuminated by high windows. Central risers with arched column portals and colossal corner pilasters are arranged on three sides, and a cartouche with a coat of arms is attached to the north portal. The square east tower reaches the height of the hall and is crowned by three octagonal tower floors with a Welscher hood .
The interior is framed by a double horseshoe-shaped gallery on wooden pillars, the parapets of which are painted with floral decorations. The richly decorated ceiling was created by Wilhelm Ernst Wunder in 1756 and shows a painting with the Ascension of Christ in the ceiling and scenes from the life of Christ in the secondary images. The artistically significant ceiling stucco dates from 1759 and was executed by Giovanni Battista Pedrozzi . It shows figurative motifs from the Old and New Testament, framed by flower tendrils, angel heads, rocailles and latticework, and is supplemented by a richly framed, colored cartouche with the monogram F for Margrave Friedrich and a cartouche with the Brandenburg coat of arms. Three manorial boxes on the lower west gallery have stucco ceilings, painted latticework and leather wallpaper in the central box and all date from the construction period.
Furnishing
The considerable pulpit altar was probably created around 1680 by Johann Georg Brenck and completed with fragments of late Gothic carved altars from the end of the 15th / beginning of the 16th century (possibly Bamberg origin). They consist of high reliefs of Saints George and Sebastian as well as Christophorus and Laurentius from 1510/1520 and two colored painted wings from 1519, which are attributed to Hans Süß von Kulmbach . There are also life-size carved figures of Saints Bartholomew and James the Elder as well as the communion relief in the predella . The pulpit is decorated with figures of the evangelists and Salvator mundi . In the altarpiece there are individual figures of the saints of the Madonna and a holy emperor as well as a group with the transfiguration of Christ, on the back a painted depiction of the veil of Veronica from the beginning of the 16th century. The closed wings show paintings with depictions of the apostles Peter and Paul, which were executed by Hugo Ramge from Munich around 1900. A sandstone baptismal font dates from the second half of the 17th century. The organ with a post-baroque prospect is a work by Eberhard Friedrich Heidenreich from 1842 with 25 stops on two manuals and a pedal . It was rebuilt in 1896 by Johann Strebel. Six bells ring the bell, the oldest is dated 1430.
Surroundings
The rectory is a stately, harmoniously structured, two-storey building with a hipped roof and two-flight staircase, which was probably built in 1764/1765 according to a plan by Carl Philipp von Gontard .
