Evangelical Church (Maulburg)
The Evangelical Church Maulburg in the community of Maulburg in Wiesental was rebuilt in the 1750s; the first church in the village is documented until the 13th century. In the 1970s, the remains of an apse from the previous building from the 12th century were found.
history
A farm in Maulburg ("in Murperch willa") was mentioned in 786 in a deed of donation. However, it is uncertain whether the priest Folcramnus mentioned there is also the parish priest. Maulburg's first clergyman ("plebanus de Mulberc") is mentioned in 1244; the church (“ecclesia in Mulberc”) 1249.
At the beginning of the 18th century, the church was in a desolate state. According to a report from 1712, eight fir trees in the nave had rotted away and had to be replaced. Next to the poorly patched tower, a falling tree knocked a hole in the church roof, which also had to be repaired. After two windows were replaced in 1718, further necessary repair work followed in 1724 and 1739. Pastor Johann Dietrich Bohm asked Margrave Carl Friedrich von Baden-Durlach to replace the dilapidated church and drafted a plan for an inexpensive rebuilding. The more expensive design by Anton Schrotz was discarded. In 1753 the new building was opened, a memorial plaque above the side portal commemorates it. Their inscription reads:
"In honor / of the Triune God / was built by / the most noble princes and lords / CARL FRIEDRICH / Margraves of Baden and Hochberg / etc. / this God's house / AOR MDCCLIII / HGJW"
Urgent renovation work at the beginning of the 20th century was delayed. And after only makeshift repairs had been carried out in 1925, thorough interior and exterior renovations were carried out between 1973 and 1974. Archaeological investigations were also carried out, which brought to light the remains of two previous churches. According to this, the structure of the first three floors of what is now the four-story bell tower can be classified in the late Gothic period. The investigations revealed remains of a rectangular choir from the 14th century and that there must have been a disproportionately large triumphal arch between the choir and nave .
description
Church building
The church in Maulburg consists of a rectangular hall and a four-story bell tower attached to it . The nave , which is covered with a gable roof, has four round-arched, narrow windows on each of its long sides, and only one window of this type on the choir side. There is a sundial on the south side of the nave . The edges of the tower and nave are profiled with corner blocks typical of this region. On the fourth floor of the tower there are four round arched sound arcades on each side , above a round clock face of the tower clock. On both sides parallel to the long sides of the nave, small, triangular gables protrude from the tower's gable roof, which is also parallel to the nave.
Interior and outfit
Inside, the nave is drawn in with a flat wooden ceiling. A gallery resting on five columns is located along the west, north and east walls. The paintings on the ceiling, parapet and column were whitewashed before they were uncovered between 1973 and 1974. The oil painting on the south wall, which depicts the crucifixion of Christ, was created by the painter Kisling in 1756.
On the north wall of the nave there are three epitaphs that are reminiscent of the following people: the first to the pastor Johann Schöne (August 14, 1678), the second to the Vogt and Badwirt Johann Schantzlin (7 January 1719), the judge and Badwirt Hand Schantzlin and the judge and spa manager Sebastian Schantzlin (March 16, 1747). The third commemorates Johann Margaretha Bohm (December 28, 1728) and Johann Daniel Bohm (September 18, 1732).
