Eusebius Church (Wendlingen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eusebius Church in Wendlingen

The Eusebius Church in Wendlingen am Neckar is a Protestant church named after Eusebius von Vercelli .

Building history

Two old tombstones have been preserved from a previous building of the Eusebius Church. The choir and the nave of the church were laid out in 1448 by Heinrich von Wernau as a hereditary burial. In 1510 a tower was added, which shows a stonemason mark of a master from the school of Peter von Koblenz . In 1710 it was rebuilt, which resulted in a Gothic high altar being destroyed. However, the predella from Bartholomäus Zeitblom's school , which survived in the attic, was spared . She can be seen today in the choir room. From the time of this renovation there are four pictures painted on barrel lids by Daniel Pfisterer , with which the church has now been decorated.

Some grave slabs and above all the larger than life image of St. Christopher date from the early days of the newly built church.

In 1956/57 the church was renovated and redesigned again. The side gallery was removed and the organ, which had previously been in the choir, had to give way. The choir received stained glass windows by Hans Gottfried von Stockhausen in 1956 and 1962 .

In 1997/98 the last renovation took place for the time being, which was particularly aimed at preserving the works of art.

Denominational history

In 1548 the place and church became part of Württemberg and thus - at the latest at this point in time - Protestant. Evangelical pastors are also proven for Wendlingen in the 1530s.

Chimes

The Eusebius Church has five bells ringing. The Sidler bell , which was cast in 1501 and repaired in 1997/98, apparently comes from the previous building of the church. It has the inscription "Pantlion Sidler von Esslingen poured me in the XV hundred and 1 year to the He of our dear Fraven, (F) Sant Luc. - Sant Marc. - Sant Johanes - Sant Matthaus." It was found in a bell warehouse in Hamburg after World War II and brought back to Wendlingen in 1948. The remaining bells, which were cast by H. Kurtz in Stuttgart , were purchased in 1953. They have the notes B (baptismal bell), As (cross bell), F sharp (evangelist bell) and D flat (Christ bell). The five church bells on the church tower form one of the most melodious bells in the regional church.
