The Röttler Church was most likely dedicated to St. Gall . The evangelical parishes of Haagen and Tumringen , which together with the hamlet of Rötteln belonged to the parish of Rötteln from the start , hold church services there for around 3000 believers. First mentioned in 751 and rebuilt in 1401, it is the oldest church in Lörrach and Rötteln, the oldest church village in the front Wiesental . In the church there is a burial chapel of Margrave Rudolf III. and his wife Anna. The painted grave slabs are among the most important stone sculptures in southwest Germany and the best preserved evidence of late Gothic tomb art. In 1556 and in the following years, the Röttler Church was the location of several synods to introduce the Reformation in the Markgräflerland and thus the spiritual center, which is why it is of particular historical importance.

history

Beginnings

Certificate from the year 751

The oldest notarization of the Röttler Church is contained in a document from the St. Gallen Monastery from September 7, 751. In it, an Ebo from Wahinhofen, today's Gut Wenkenhof in Riehen , and his wife Odalsinde are told by a priest Landarius and eleven witnesses all movable and immovable property "in Wahinhofen, Laidikofen and Bodinhofen including the people living here, as well as part of our church in the place which is called Raudinleim ”. Further written mentions come from the year 800 and October 13, 898. In various scriptures the church is mentioned as consecrated to St. Gallus; However, there are no certificates. The original patronage of the former Roman Catholic Röttler Church is completely unknown.

On the foundation walls of the previous church, which was destroyed by the Basel earthquake in 1356 , Margrave Rudolf III. After the reconstruction of Rötteln Castle, build a new, enlarged church, which, like its predecessor, was to take over the function of the grave church . To this end, in 1418 he specially equipped it with benefices and chose it as his main church. In the years that followed, St. Gallus met the needs of the growing community with several additions. In the southern corner between the nave and the bell tower , Rudolf IV had a spacious chapel built from 1479 to 1482. The last burial took place in 1503 with the urn of Philipp von Hachberg-Sausenberg , the last Hachberg margrave. After 1503, however, further burials were carried out, but the bodies were covered with lime without a coffin, which suggests that they were victims of a plague epidemic .

Rubella at the time of the Reformation

Simon Sulzer

The margrave joined the Reformation in the Markgräflerland in 1556 . The Röttler Church was adapted to the new requirements. The reformer and antistes at the Basel cathedral at the time, Simon Sulzer, played a leading role . By studying Martin Luther's and Philipp Melanchthon's works, he became a passionate follower of Luther's conception of the Lord's Supper. In the Concord dispute he tried to mediate as a Zwinglian and met with great resistance. He was removed from office in Bern and went to Basel. There, too, it was controversial. His Reformation efforts expanded to the margraviate of Baden-Durlach , where he was initially active in Lörrach. Sulzer was able to take advantage of the Augsburg Imperial and Religious Peace of September 25, 1555 to convince the margrave, who was hesitant because of the threatening Austrian-Catholic neighborhood, to take a long vacant pastor's position in Lörrach on January 21, 1556 with the first Protestant pastor, his brother-in-law Ulrich Koch, to be occupied. With this he prepared the Reformation in the margraviate. Margrave Karl II appointed Sulzer general superintendent of the diocese of Rötteln, Müllheim, Schopfheim and Hochberg.

Johann Jakob Grynaeus

On March 14th and 15th, 1566, the first synod was held in Rötteln, chaired by Sulzer and Bailiff Johann Albrecht von Anwyhl. There are interpretations written, looks into theology students, reports presented to schools and assessed clergymen. A pastor from Weil was forbidden to raise the chalice at Holy Communion, as was the custom according to Catholic custom. Pastor and superintendent of Rötteln since the Reformation was Thomas Grynaeus . He remained so until his death in 1564. He was followed by his son Johann Jakob Grynaeus , who, in contrast to Sulzer, developed into a supporter of the Reformed Helvetic Confession.

In a further synod in 1577 there was a final break between the Lutheran Sulzer and the Zwinglian Grynaeus because of the concord formula . On November 18, 1577, the Heidelberg doctor and Grynaeus' father-in-law, Thomas Erastus, wrote :

“In the Röttler trade, Grynäus does what he can; he knows the business and does not despise my advice. I push him as best I can. "

As a contentious non-theologian, Erastus was one of the mainsprings that prompted Grynaeus to oppose the formula of concord. On October 29, 1577 all church servants and teachers of the Röttler circle were called up to have them sign the twelve points of the concord formula . The two-day lecture sparked a dispute between the scholars Grynaeus, Sulzer and Dürr, a colleague of Sulzer's. The attending teachers and clergy also disagreed, so the matter was postponed until the next meeting. At the next meeting in Binzen , those present decided unanimously to sign, with the exception of the anathematisms and the article on Holy Communion. However, around ten pastors refused to sign completely and moved to Basel to seek advice on how to proceed. The Basel council forbade Sulzer from interfering further and even forbade him from attending the Röttler Synod.

The last synod took place on August 14, 1578 in Rötteln with Sulzer, in order to persuade those who refused to sign. The synod concluded with the request to keep the old church order and to adhere to the Augsburg confession in the catechism . In particular, thanks to the advocacy of Basel Mayor Bonaventura Vonbrunn, those who refused to sign were spared the negative consequences of their attitude.

The concordant dispute, which lasted for years, also divided the Basel population into two camps and caused Sulzer to lose supporters and friends, while Grynaeus, after Sulzer's death in 1585, led the church back to the Reformed Confession as the new antistes at Basel Minster .

Since the 17th century

During the Dutch War in 1678, French troops destroyed the village and Rötteln Castle . Only the church and the stepped gable house east of it survived the fire.

In the 17th century a gallery was built in to make more space for the believers; the windows were enlarged. A small roof turret was placed on the gable roof of the bell tower in 1734. This could have been an attempt to visually highlight the Röttler Church as the main church. However, the roof turret must have appeared architecturally as a foreign body, so that it was removed again in 1790 at the latest. A visit to the church on August 3, 1749 already spoke of the "needlessly on top of the set summit".

In 1749 the diocese of Rötteln comprised 20 parishes in Kleinkems, Blansingen, Welmlingen, Efringen , Kirchen, Egringen, Wollbach , Schallbach , Fischingen , Wittlingen , Rötteln, Hauingen , Eimeldingen and Märkt , Binzen and Rümmingen , Ötlingen , Haltingen according to the protocol book of the church visitation at the time , Tumringen , Weil , Grenzach , Brombach and Lörrach. This roughly corresponded to today's church district of Lörrach. With the relocation of the Oberamt Rötteln in 1689 to Lörrach and at the latest since the castle was destroyed in 1678, the important offices and institutions also moved to the city. The Röttler country school and the seat of the special of the diocese of Rötteln were also moved there. In 1749 of the 9,418 inhabitants of the Diocese of Rötteln, 9081 were Lutherans, 219 Reformed, 69 Jews and 49 Catholics.

In the middle of the 19th century, the southern gallery was removed again as part of renovation work. Over the centuries the church became increasingly neglected and apart from the windows that were replaced, the walls and roof structure remained unchanged, so that at the beginning of the 20th century the church had to be fundamentally renovated and expanded. In a report of the building inspection of December 12, 1895, it says:

"The appearance of the church is very modest: plinths, cornices, eaves and roof ducts are not present ... The window and door frames are of different shapes, the windows are at unequal distances from each other ..."

Röttler Church 1901 with galleries

From 1901 to 1903 there was extensive renovation and expansion work. The church was extended to the south by a two-bay cross-vaulted hall with 90 seats and a side tower with a conical roof . The organ gallery was removed, allowing a clear view of the 1903 newly installed glass window by Freiburg artist Fritz Geiges . On the occasion of the inauguration of the renovated and enlarged church in Rötteln, its Grand Duke Friedrich I of Baden paid a visit in October 1903.

In the 20th century, the church was gradually modernized and old structures were restored. In 1912, donations from parishioners made it possible to set up electrical lighting and, a year later, to install a gas heating system with six stoves. In 1915 the church received new pull-out seats in the central nave. In 1920 the mechanical clockwork was replaced by an electric one and since 1930 the chime and the organ fan have also been operated electrically.

In 1938 the outer walls of the church and the tower were plastered and the door and window frames cleaned. In 1985, exterior renovations were also carried out which were very extensive and in which the church was given a slightly different color. The church has been illuminated from evening to night since 1999 . From September 2004 to June 2005, further fundamental exterior and interior renovation work was carried out.

The church building

Church from the west with the surrounding wall

The Röttler Church is located at 330 meters above sea level. NN slightly elevated above the Lörracher urban area, set back a little, at the hairpin of the connecting road from Tumringen to the motorway junction 4 Kandern of the A 98 on the small Lucke pass . Due to the exposed location, the church, which is illuminated at night, is visible from afar.

The church building is an elongated rectangular room without a partitioned choir . On the north-east side there is a choir side tower with a conical roof, in the east the attached burial chapel. One aisle faces south. All structures including the bell tower have gable roofs . The three-story bell tower on the north-west side has arched acoustic arcades on all four sides and a clock on two sides. The church has only a few windows , some of which are like loopholes. The entire church is surrounded by a curtain wall, which was the cemetery wall until 1868. Since then, the cemetery has been located outside the church in the direction of the Tumringen district .

Inscription on the donation board of Rudolf III.

The inscription is reminiscent of the late Gothic entrance portal

"I markgrav
rudolf does
disi Kilchen in
the jar do man
zalt of gotes
birth fourteen
hundred jar and
one jar"

to the renovation by Margrave Rudolf III. On the north wall there are tombstones and epitaphs that were inside the church before the renovation at the beginning of the 20th century.

Tower clock

A mechanical gear train has been driving the Röttler tower clock for around 300 years since around 1600 . The clockwork, which sounded the bell every hour, had to be wound at least once a day. Even when the Wiesentalbahn was founded in 1862, the travel times were based on the Röttler church tower clock. In 1920 the movement was replaced by an electric clock from the tower clock manufacturer Benedikt Schneider from Schonach in the Black Forest . The dismantled clock was initially stored in the Rötteln castle ruins and then reinstalled there in 1978 with the opening of the Museum am Burghof - today's three-country museum .

Longhouse and equipment

A flat ceiling has been drawn into the hall of the Röttler Church. The rectangular room is the altar and parish room; there is no separate choir . Choir finals in particular are nothing unusual, even for larger churches in southwest Germany. There is a walled-up window behind the organ. The small church, the interior of which is mainly made of wood, has been very colorful in its interior since the renovation in 1903. This initially met with rejection, as a letter from a churchgoer to the Oberbadische Volksblatt shows. He found the stair towers oriental, the bright colors, the decoration on the beautiful wooden ceiling, the removal of the organ behind the altar was all “unprotestant” and “contrary to style”, he wrote on January 18, 1904. The architect and university professor Carl Schäfer, however, described it the church in Rötteln as a "jewel of a village church that is a sight of the meadow valley".

Directly above the entrance there is a gallery with a trapezoidal floor plan on a beam construction supported by two wooden columns. The nave is furnished with red wooden benches from 1964, the first three rows are individually furnished. The altar area is slightly raised, in front of it there has been a baptismal font since 1973 , and a wooden pulpit on the left . The baptismal font dates from around 1700, the decorations from 1980 were made by Rudolf Scheurer .

To the left and right of the altar are the richly decorated choir stalls from the 15th century. Both rows of chairs have five seats and bear the coat of arms of Hachberg-Sausenberg. Only the chairs on the pulpit side have elaborate wood carved figures on their end cheeks. Shown are the St. George slaying the dragon and Jesse with an inserted later horse and deer instead of Mary and Child. Above the choir stalls on the Taufsteinseite a coat of arms of the line Hachberg-Sausenberg with crest attached.

The pulpit can be reached via a small staircase and has a gold-colored lectern. The body, decorated with figures and ornaments , was designed by the painter Fey. The side facing the nave indicates an octagon with the evangelists Mark and Matthew and Jesus Christ ; on the side facing the choir, the evangelists Luke and John are depicted with floral decorations. Under the evangelists their names are in elaborate script.

The doors are also decorated with representations and ornaments. The door to the sacristy shows Christ as a wanderer and is based on the work of Fra Angelico . The door to the tower chapel has metal fittings in the form of gold-colored flower tendrils. Both doors have an ornate door knocker .

The female candlestick

From 1903 to 1978 a figure of a woman, referred to as a female candlestick , was floating in the middle of the church, attached to a deer antler covered with small lighting fixtures . Karl Seith concluded that the picture was about Ursula Countess Truchsess von Waldenburg († 1484), a daughter of Margrave Wilhelm and his wife Elisabeth von Montfort-Bregenz , as the figure was based on the Waldenburg lion coat of arms. He assumes the figure was made at the end of the 15th century. Schülin doubts this assumption and points out that the female luster was never mentioned in older descriptions of the church. He assumes that the figure only found its way there as a new acquisition or foundation during the renovation of the Röttler Church in 1901–1903. In 1978 the figure was stolen from the church - the case was never solved.

organ

organ

The Röttler church received the first organ probably before 1678 on the initiative of Johannes Gebhard, who was pastor and superintendent in Rötteln from 1654 to 1686. In times of war she was brought to safety in the court chapel of the Märkischer Hof in Basel, where she fell victim to a fire. The second, a manual organ with eight registers , was purchased in 1742 with the help of foundations and stood on an organ gallery in the chancel. In 1897 a new organ with two manuals and twelve registers was planned as part of the upcoming renovation.

The new, third organ in the neo-baroque case of the Walcker organ workshop was installed on the north side of the choir in 1903. It was the focus of attention and restored the architectural balance of the church interior. At the former organ location, the choir stalls are opposite the other choir bench. In 1972 the organ was moved behind the altar to the east wall of the choir , revised by the organ builder Vier and consecrated on January 6, 1973. The organ has since had two manuals, a pedal and 19 stops. The renewal of the organ was made possible by donations and grants amounting to 40,000 marks .

The current organ has the following disposition :

Manual C – g ′ ′ ′

Bells

The oldest written tradition for a bell ringing in the Röttler church goes back to the year 1558, when it is noted in a visitation protocol that the sexton rings for the sermon in the morning and in the evening. The whereabouts of these bells is not known. Landschreiber Michael Praun reported in June 1678 that the French had "brought down and broken" a bell from the Röttler church tower. Presumably as a replacement for this, today's oldest bell was cast in 1687 in Basel. It bears the inscription

“Hans Heinrich Weitenauer poured me in Basel in 1687, from where I came;
At that time, the ruling lord of the Most Serene Prince, Mr. Friedrich Magnus, Margrave of Baden and Hachberg, Lord of Rötteln "

as well as prayer

"O Most High, let us succeed,
That I
may bring
many people into your house with my sound ."

Large and medium bells

The bell in the middle is said to have been a bargain purchase from a Catholic church after a bell broke while the mourning chimes for Emperor Leopold II on March 1, 1792. In addition to a Latin inscription, it bears reliefs of an episcopal cap, a Mary with a child, a crucifixion scene with mourning women and a bishop with a staff and a heart in his hand. From this it can be concluded that the bell was cast for a Catholic church and was already in use.

The youngest bell replaced one given in the Second World War . It was consecrated on October 11, 1953 - the 50th anniversary of the consecration of the converted church.

The dates of the three-part bell of the Röttler Church are:

Röttler Church as a grave church

A small hall in the basement of the tower and that by Rudolf III. attached chapel south of the tower used. The burial chapel served both the Margraves of Hachberg and the Lords of Rötteln as a burial church; this was confirmed by the opening of the graves from September 1st to 8th, 1783. Margrave Karl Friedrich von Baden-Durlach arranged because of his family connection to Rudolf III. von Hachberg-Sausenberg to open the graves during a visit to the church, as the 17 coffins in the crypt had neither dates nor names.

Funerary chapel and tomb

Tomb of the wife of Rudolf III, Anna

The tower hall is cross-vaulted and, in accordance with its function as a chapel, is equipped with a brick altar and a niche for liturgical equipment, a piscina and another large niche for a holy grave . The vault ribs rest on two consoles . One of them is adorned with the Hachberg coat of arms, another with the coat of arms of the Counts of Thierstein and one with the Röttler coat of arms. In 1903 a baptismal picture was placed in the small tower hall because the room was to be used as a baptistery. But since it is the coldest and darkest part of the church, the project was rejected. Baptisms take place in the church again.

The Gothic window in the burial chapel shows the coats of arms of Rudolf and Anna

The attached chapel with a rare net vault can be reached from the choir on the right through a door. A baroque tomb of Christoph Daniel von Anwyl stands in front of her on the south side . The striking portrait shows the governor of Rötteln (1608–1620) in the typical head of hair and armor of the Thirty Years' War . In the crypt chapel, about one meter below the church level, there is the grave of Margrave Rudolf III on the left, and that of his wife Anna on the right. Above the grave slabs, their epitaphs with detailed replicas of the clothing and armament are on consoles . The artist is unknown; However, he was also involved in the construction of the Basel Minster . The painting and the pictures in the niches are from 1903. The stylistically similar grave slab of a clergyman was moved to the tower hall during the renovation work. There are three burial chambers with urns of the Hachberg margraves.

According to the descriptions of the bailiff Ernst Friedrich Leutrum von Ertingen , the gravestones were set in above the graves on the floor until the end of the Middle Ages, and the epitaphs were not attached to the wall until the 16th century. The oldest grave slab of the Lords of Rötteln with a crest and coat of arms on the north wall of the church dates back to the end of the 13th century and probably covered the collective grave of the Röttler noble family. Other notable tombs are that of Anna Maria Günter, the wife of executioner Heidenreich from 1668, and the epitaph of Bailiff Johann Brödtlin from 1703.

Pastor Heinrich Riehm's grave cross on the facade of the stepped gable house is the only one that still comes from the old cemetery.

Epitaphs

South side with walled-in grave slabs

There are four epitaphs inside the churches. On the north wall there is a tomb for pastor Johann Wilhelm Meyer († 7 December 1710), on the east wall one for the daughter of Bailiff Hans Albrecht von Anwil Eva von Anwil († 30 April 1608).

There are five epitaphs on the south wall of the nave. From west to east they remember Johann Brödtlin, Vogt von Haagen († February 23, 1645), Anna Maria Heidenreich, b. Ginter (in) († June 17, 1654), the regimental quartermaster Michael Günther von Stockeraw († May 11, 1637), the crime writer and landscape captor Joseph Kolb († September 17, 1674) and his wife Elisabeth Kolb, b. Scholer († March 13, 1674) as well as her granddaughter Anna Sybilla and to Hans Michael Seiferlin († August 1635).

On the north wall there are two plates with illegible inscriptions, the epitaph of Carol Ludwig Greis († February 25, 1551), the son of the land clerk Johann Greis and another illegible gravestone. There is also the oldest and largest sandstone slab of Rötteln at 2.90 meters in length, 1.27 meters in width and 24 centimeters in thickness. This plate without an inscription bears the Röttler coat of arms and, due to its size, was probably on a family grave. The historical significance is based on the fact that the Röttler family also included three bishops of Basel : Walther I (1213–1216), Lüthold II. (1238–1248) and Lüthold II. Von Rötteln as Elekt from 1309 to 1311.

Reception in the visual arts

Röttler Church: Etching by Hermann Daur (1900)

The picturesque and exposed location of the church in Rötteln was an eye-catcher in the front Wiesental and has served artists in the Markgräflerland as a motif for illustrations for centuries. In the context of chronicles she was often depicted with the castle Rötteln .

The oldest known representation of the Röttler Church can be found on a woodcut from around 1500 by Johannes Stumpf . The picture shows a view of Basel with a view towards the Black Forest , behind it the Tüllinger Berg rises with the Ottilien Church and on the right at the edge of the picture you can see the Röttler Church. The depiction is part of the Swiss illustrated chronicle .

Some of the artists who are well known beyond the region and who used the Röttler Church as a subject include Gustav Wilhelm Friesenegger (1796-1859), Arthur Schanzlin (1902-1944), Hermann Daur , Hermann Burte and Max Eichin . Daur created various etchings for the church, some of which were also used to create colored picture postcards around 1900. A selection of watercolors, oil paintings and other representations is exhibited in the Dreiländermuseum .
