Evangelical Church (Munzenberg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Church from the south with a crooked and twisted tower

The oldest parts of the Evangelical Church in Munzenberg in the Wetterau district in Hesse date back to the 12th century. Two renovations in the middle of the 13th century and in the baroque period gave it the shape it is today. The two-aisled building with an asymmetrical gable roof towed on the south side has a mighty eastern choir tower with a twisted pointed helmet over four triangular gables. The local church is a Hessian cultural monument .

history

South pore (1765) above arcade, staggered west gallery (1666)

The church was probably built at the beginning of the second half of the 12th century. Kuno I von Munzenberg , who also built Munzenberg Castle, is accepted as the first patron saint . In 1183 a cleric ( clericus ) is proven , in 1226 a pleban named Conradus. It is unclear whether the cleric was active in the castle chapel. In a document from 1248 a cemetery (cymiterio apud Minzenberg) is mentioned, whose extension on the north side of the church in 1319 is attested. In 1255 at the latest, Munzenberg was elevated to an independent parish church. Until then it was a branch of the mother church in Trais-Munzenberg . In the course of this, the Romanesque church was enlarged considerably. In the east the church tower with the sacristy and in the south a side aisle were added, which probably received its own gable roof . Several transverse roofs are also conceivable. An extension to the north was not possible because of the cemetery there. There is evidence of an early knife since 1276 . The church was originally dedicated to Mary as the patron saint and had eight altars. On April 4, 1294 the altar of St. George was donated. There were also altars of Saints John , Nicholas , Maria , Peter and Paul , Elisabeth and Katharina as well as Anna and Sebastian . Accordingly, eight priests were affirmed in the parish church in the middle of the 15th century . There is evidence of a Catherine altar dating from 1613. In the Middle Ages, the parish church belonged to the archdeaconate of St. Maria ad Gradus in the Archdiocese of Mainz .

With the introduction of the Reformation in 1558, Munzenberg switched to the Protestant creed. At the end of the 1580s, Pastor Johannes Heucher and his chaplain unofficially introduced the Reformed doctrine, to which his successor Johann Eitel Rhodius (1598–1612) was close. From 1614 the congregation finally joined the Lutheran creed. The building suffered severe damage during the Thirty Years' War . At the end of the 16th or beginning of the 17th century, the existing wooden barrel from the 13th century including the church roof was raised in the main nave. For this purpose, the walls of the main nave were raised by around 1.5 meters and the south wall was lowered. The side aisle was combined with the main aisle under a shared roof . In 1666 the large west gallery was built as a male gallery and in 1765 a narrow south pore in front of the arcades and the east gallery for the organ.

During a renovation in 1896, the late medieval tracery of the windows was removed, the wooden barrel was replaced and the painted interior plaster was removed apart from a few remains. In the years 1900 to 1901 the helmet structure was renewed. A church renovation was carried out from 1959 to 1961 under the direction of Karl Gruber. The organ loft was raised above the choir arch (by 1.50 meters) and the south pore shortened so as not to obscure the view of the Gothic choir. The pews were partially renewed, covering the wooden barrel with a new one, the church inside and outside new new color taken and the missing parts of the ciborium were reconstructed. A renovation of the church tower followed in 2007.

architecture

West side of the church with 13th century portals
Tower from the southeast

The east- facing two-aisled complex is built north of the castle on a towing slope in the center of the planned city. The Romanesque hall church (13 × 8 meters) from the 12th century with a flat ceiling and narrow, drawn-in choir (7.5 × 6 meters) had a white exterior plaster with red grouting. The extensions in the 13th century and in the baroque era resulted in a complex structure. The church is surrounded by a wall enclosure made of quarry stone , which enclosed the 35 × 50 meter church district including the cemetery.

The white plastered, two-aisled building made of quarry stone masonry has a nave that is higher and wider than the south aisle. The nave is covered by an asymmetrical gable roof, which is towed on the south side. The wood used for the roof construction comes from medieval times. The old east choir is drawn in by one wall width on the north side and raised by two steps opposite the nave. From the Romanesque church, the north wall, the western nave wall and the westernmost part of the south wall (about 3–4 meters) have been preserved. During the restoration between 1959 and 1961, when the external plaster was removed from the west wall, the corner blocks of the former south-west corner were exposed, which identified the side aisle as a later extension. In the rest of the old south wall, a walled-up arched window with a reveal and wooden frame has been preserved. The richly profiled, pointed arched, early Gothic main portal in the west has a gable roof with a pointed arch frieze from the second half of the 13th century, above it a two-lane pointed arched tracery window made of basalt with a circle in the pointed arch. In the north side of the old choir there is a secondary walled-up arched window from the Romanesque period. An ogival window was broken in over it. A walled, profiled, Gothic north portal below these windows has a profiled cloverleaf arch and served as a priest's gate. An arched window in the east wall illuminates the ciborium. The main nave receives light on the north side through two pointed arch windows and in the far west through a small trapezoidal window and a tall, narrow arched window, which were created in the 16th to 18th centuries. The Gothic north windows are completely walled up.

Inside, instead of the former east end, a large, stepped pointed arch opens the Gothic choir to the original Romanesque church over profiled warriors . An arcade with three large round arches (the old south wall) and a small one connects the south aisle with the older central nave (19.80 × 8.5 meters). The two low, stepped round arches in the west have cruciform pillars with carnies fighters , the adjoining arch has bevelled edges, the two western pillars and Attic bases . The eastern, ridge-vaulted area of ​​the aisle is separated by a belt arch on consoles and originally served as a space for a side altar, which found its counterpart in the north-eastern canopy altar . The 3.05 meter wide side aisle has two ogival and two rectangular windows in the south as well as a ogival portal with bevel. The eastern pointed arch window on the south wall extends into the roof space in the form of a gable and points to the humiliation of the south wall in the Baroque era. The west portal from the middle of the 13th century is older than the main portal. The late Romanesque serrated portal made of Lungstein under a round arch with protruding soffits made of sandstone is elaborately designed. A narrow pointed arch window is let into it.

In the east, the high, early Gothic choir tower (inside 6.10 × 5.95 meters clear width) rises above a square floor plan, whose three-storey tower shaft is unstructured and supported by buttresses on the ground floor . The corner cuboid is cut out from the plaster. The surrounding base profile has an Attic base. The choir is vaulted by a ribbed vault with pear ribs over consoles with various bud decorations. On the ground floor, the choir is illuminated on the north and south sides through a narrow pointed arch window, on the straight east side through a round-arched twin window in a pointed-arched panel. The upper floor has coupled sound openings with quatrefoil in the pointed arch. In the west, the church roof cuts the older tower window. All tower windows are framed in basalt. Four steep triangular gables rise above the cornice , which lead into an eight-sided pointed helmet. The gables also have coupled sound openings with quatrefoil in the pointed arch. Above this, openings in the form of quatrefoils are set in the gable tops, which are now covered by the clock faces of the tower clock. The rotation of the helmet may have been caused by the use of timber that was not dried and should reduce wind resistance, but it can be caused by wind and weather and the helmet leans westward. The tower structure is crowned by a tower knob, a wrought iron cross and a weathercock. In the south of the tower there is a small, vaulted chapel on a rectangular floor plan, which is only accessible from the choir through a pointed arched, profiled door with a chamfer from the Gothic period via two steps. The interior is illuminated in the south by two and in the east by a pointed arched lancet window . The low cross vault on consoles and cap capitals and the borders of windows and doors are painted with floral ornaments and scrollwork from the 17th century. A stone external staircase on the south side leads to the organ gallery and the tower.

Furnishing

Interior facing east
Gothic ciborium with baptismal font

The interior of the ship is closed off by a steeply vaulted wooden barrel, the side aisle by a flat ceiling. The west and south pores rest on four-sided, articulated posts with capitals covered with flat-carved leaves and headbands . One post bears the year 1765. The low, staggered west gallery is marked 1666 and has rectangular fields in the parapet. The south and east galleries have coffered panels, the trapezoidal bulge of the organ gallery is painted with three round fields of coats of arms. The shields show the coats of arms of Count Ludwig († 1574) and Christian († 1581) von Stolberg-Königstein (left), the Count of Solms (center) and the Count of Hanau (right).

One of the oldest inventory items is the eight-sided early Gothic basalt baptismal font with a pointed arch frieze from the 1290s. It stood for a long time in front of the west wall between the two portals and since the renovation in 1959–1961 has found its place under the Gothic ciborium in the northeast corner of the old choir. The Marian altar originally stood here. The remarkable canopy from the second half of the 13th century has a cross vault and is made of white grouted red sandstone on a square floor plan. It consists of two profiled round arches with round bars, which end in profiled triangular gables, between which a point is attached. It rests on a slender round column with a cube base and a capital decorated with eight buds. The console on the north wall is covered with leaf ornaments. Of the original five altars, three have been preserved. The main altar under the triumphal arch was dedicated to St. Catherine. It has a basalt plate over an incline and in the middle of the 18th century was given a wrought-iron, baroque grille with gilded tips on the back. In the tower hall there is the high altar (probably of St. George) and in the southern porch there is a stone altar, both of which are made of basalt.

In the choir there is a three-seat choir stalls from the 13th century with a Staufer knob. The five-seat choir stalls with carved cheeks and hinged misericords are marked three times on the side rests with the year 1491 and bears the Munzenberg coat of arms in red and gold on the west side, and the coat of arms of Eppstein to the east. The parapet and wood paneling are decorated with flat-carved tendril motifs and shields. The church stalls date from 1659 and 1662. The stately seats from 1662 in the side aisle bear the names of the city and castle lords of that time. The wooden paneling of the closed chair of Frau Obersten zu Hattstein from 1659, which stood under the canopy in the post-Reformation period, has been installed under the west gallery since 1961 . The first, western round arch to the side aisle is painted with a representation of St. Margaret with a victory palm. The medieval representation of the 14th century is only faintly recognizable. On the south wall of the aisle there is a strip of painting from the same century. In the side chapel, which is now used as a sacristy, several late Gothic wall cupboards are marked 1466 and 1517. They have heavy iron fittings from the Gothic period and were used to store the Vasa sacra and the archive. One closet bears the year 1777 and has an iron door.

Crucifix from 1431 with real hair
Epitaph of Daniel von Bellersheim († 1601)

The most important piece of equipment is the larger than life Gothic crucifix from 1431 (2.57 meters high, 2 meters wide) above the early Gothic high altar in the choir. It comes from the Würzburg school and is equipped with a real hair wig, which was reconstructed based on remnants of hair and descriptions. In the chest area there are three relics in a closed cavity . A strip of parchment was wrapped around a chip from the hearse of St. Elizabeth and inscribed with the words: "Item daz hultz is from s [anc] te Elizabeth lichkare". According to the inscription, a pouch made of red silk cloth contains relics of St. Justin and St. Theodore . 1959–1961 the original version was exposed under up to six layers of paint. To the left of this is a late Gothic sacrament niche from the 15th century made of red sandstone in the east wall. It is richly decorated with pinnacles , eyelashes and tracery. In the southeast corner is the elaborately crafted, polychrome epitaph made of sandstone in Renaissance forms for the Friedberger Burgmannen Daniel von Bellersheim († March 31, 1601 or 1603), which he had made during his lifetime. He is shown in his armor between two pilasters with eight coats of arms under a round arch. On the left you can see the coats of arms of Bellersheim, Sickingen, Ursel and Bavaria, on the right the coats of arms of Schütz von Holzhausen , von Bellersheim, von Hohenstein and von Lehrbach. The red sandstone base has a transversely oval cartridge. The upper end is a blown gable on which two small figures lie. Another figure stands on the middle, circular coat of arms. The split shield shows the Hatzfeld, Bellersheim and Hattstein (Huttenschen) coats of arms. The grave slab of the knight made of red sandstone is attached to the south wall. The grave slab for Elisabeth Hartmann von Bellersheim geb. Schütz von Holzhausen († 1561) was originally in the choir and has been embedded in the north wall behind the baptismal font since 1959–1961. It bears the coats of arms of the Schütz and von Bellersheim families and the inscription: "NOTA YOUR LEICHNAM ALHIR WAS BURIED IN THE CHOIR AND LOCATED", including the main inscription. To the right of the ciborium, on the east wall, there is a simple niche of a former tabernacle cabinet from the Romanesque period. An epitaph painted on wood by an unknown artist from 1558 on the northern wall of the choir was donated by Johann von Bellersheim and his wife Clara von Sickingen. It is based on a representation of the Annunciation by Cranach. From God the Father in a hole in the cloud a bundle of rays goes out towards Mary, which ends in a descending child. Below are the coats of arms of Bellersheim and Sickungen as well as a kneeling family. A wide renaissance landscape forms the background. The painting is flanked by two heraldic strips with a total of 14 coats of arms. The figurative epitaph on the north wall of the main nave shows the donor couple Hartmann von Bellersheim and Mrs. Elisabeth as well as four male relatives on the left and nine female relatives on the right. The representation connects the Last Judgment with the spiritual armor. The corresponding Bible passage from Eph 6.10–11.14–18  LUT can be read on a rectangular writing field under the gable . The architrave above the picture bears the Bible verses from 2 Petr 3,14–15a  LUT and 2 Tim 4,7–8a  LUT in two columns . The life story of the family is written in poetry below the picture in an extensive inscription. More grave slabs, which previously covered the graves in the choir, are set up on the north wall and in the aisle. To the right of the side entrance is the tombstone of Anna Katharina Buff, great-grandmother of Charlotte Buff from Wetzlar.

Rococo pulpit with parish chair

The curved pulpit from the late Baroque (around 1760) is attached to the north wall where the old choir wall protrudes. It is bulged at the bottom and decorated with nailed gold-plated ornaments. The richly designed sound cover with a profiled cornice and a gold-plated volute crown is crowned by a pelican, symbol of Christ. The attached parish chair has a coat of arms on the left, which is decorated with six noble coats of arms of the Ganerbe . The three coats of arms on the left show Loewenstein , Wrede and Darmstadt, the three on the right the coats of arms of the Schütz von Holzhausen , von Sickingen and von Bellersheim families . The right part has openwork latticework in the upper area. A baroque wooden offering box with a twisted column on a square base stands on the front arch. The simple wooden ambo is marked with the year 1561.

On the inside of the north and south walls of the churchyard there are old tombstones. The " oak at the church " is a designated natural monument.

organ

Organ brochure from 1897

Evidence of the income and pension of an organist in the 1610s presupposes the existence of an organ . The purchase of double doors in 1666 makes a new organ likely. In the same year a new gallery was built on which the new instrument was probably placed. Before 1720, organ builder Johann Friedrich Macrander from Frankfurt created a new organ with ten stops on a manual and pedal, which was probably moved to the new east gallery in 1765. In 1896 the Giengen organ manufacture Gebr. Link was awarded the contract for a new organ, which was built in 1897 for 4,600 marks. The Lich company Förster & Nicolaus renewed the pipework in 1963. A complete renovation followed in 2004. The two-manual organ has since had 14 stops on pneumatic cone chests . The prospectus on a trapezoidal floor plan is structured by fluted columns. A large round arch field is flanked on the lower sides by a coupled round arch field. The disposition is as follows:

I Manual C – f 3
Principal 8th'
Salicional 8th'
octave 4 ′
Dumped 4 ′
Fifth 2 2 ⁄ 3  ′
Forest flute 2 ′
Mixture III 1 1 ⁄ 3  ′
II Manual C – f 3
Dumped 8th'
Reed flute 4 ′
Principal 2 ′
Terzian II
Pedal C – d 1
Sub-bass 16 ′
Octave bass 8th'
Chorale bass 4 ′ + 2 ′

Peal

The tower houses a four-way bell. Nothing is known about the bells from before the 18th century. In 1783 and 1794 the community bought new bells. Otto from Gießen cast a bell in Munzenberg, Johann Peter Bach II. Two September bells in Hungen. A small bell cast by Barthels in Frankfurt in 1816 was delivered for armaments purposes during the First World War. It was replaced by a larger bell in 1928. The bells were confiscated during World War II. While the bells of Otto and Bach escaped melting and returned after the World War, the bell from 1928 was lost. It was replaced by Rincker's big bell in 1966 .
