Evangelical Church (Bauschlott)
The Evangelical Church in Bauschlott , a district of the municipality of Neulingen in the Enzkreis in Baden-Württemberg , was built according to plans by Heinrich Hübsch and inaugurated in 1838.
history
The original Bauschlott church, first mentioned in 1244, was in an exposed location on the old Bauschlotter cemetery and survived the Thirty Years' War and the War of the Palatinate Succession together with the old rectory from 1542, while the rest of the village sank into rubble. In 1763/65 a new rectory was built, but it had technical defects and often had to be improved in the following years. The old rectory was preserved despite the new building.
A few decades later, the old church was no longer enough. However, the decision was not made to build a new building at the same location; instead, the parish acquired the site of the former Maulbronn wine press south of it as a building site. The first plans were made by master builder Karl August Schwarz from Bruchsal, but they did not appeal to the community. The plans made by Schwarz's superior Heinrich Hübsch did not convince the community either, but were then carried out. The new church was consecrated in its current form on October 28, 1838, after which the old church was demolished.
The estimated construction costs of around 13,000 guilders were exceeded by half. In practice, some inadequacies of the architecture became apparent: Hübsch had created a spacious church building, but the galleries, organ and pulpit are arranged disproportionately high.
In 1882 the church received a new organ from Veit in Durlach, and in 1888 Countess Rhena , who at that time lived in Bauschlott Castle , donated a golden cross.
A major renovation of the church took place in 1964.
description
The church is a three-aisled hall church with a tower and altar area facing north and covered by a gable roof . Access is through an arcade-like vestibule formed by three arched passages on the southern gable side, facing the street Am Anger , to which an outside staircase leads. Above the arcade openings in this gable side there are three round-arched closed windows and in the middle of the gable field an ox-eye.
Inside, the two side aisles also form the basis for the side galleries , which are connected to one another on the rear, southern gable side by an organ gallery . In the north there is a pulpit in the middle of a very high triumphal arch on the gable wall behind the altar. The nave is spanned by a large coffered ceiling.
Two old epitaphs from the old church have been preserved in the Bauschlotter cemetery, namely that of the knight Eglof von Wallstein, who died in 1570, which shows the deceased in full plastic life-size in armor, and the fragment of his mother's epitaph, which is missing the upper third. The gravestone of Bauschlotter Pastor Antonius Bäuerle, who died in 1746, is one of the other old tombs.
organ
The organ was built in 1882 by the organ builder Voit and restored in 1982 by the organ builder Rohlf . The instrument has 12 registers on a manual and pedal . The actions are mechanical.
