Evangelical Church (ranks)
The Evangelical Church in rows , a district of the large district town of Sinsheim in the Rhein-Neckar district in Baden-Württemberg , was built on the site of the original parish church in 1842 according to plans by Christoph Arnold .
history
In 1496 a church of St. Mary was mentioned in a document. This was replaced by a new Gothic building in 1521 . The Gothic church seems to have been expanded and rebuilt several times. Its bell tower, standing separately, was dated 1571, and in 1737 the nave was completely or partially replaced. In 1839 the church had considerable structural defects, so that it was demolished in 1842 and the current classicist church was built and consecrated in 1843 .
Bells
The old evangelical reformed church originally had only one bell, which was cast around in 1713 by Georg Christoph Weyer in Heidelberg. In 1728 a second bell, cast by Johann Daniel Rohr in Heilbronn , weighing 174 kg, was added. Both bells were cast in 1778 by Anselm Franz Speck in Heidelberg to make new bells weighing 190 kg and 100 kg respectively. In 1821 the church received a third bell, which was also cast by Speck in Heidelberg in 1774 and previously hung in rows in the Lutheran church. During the First World War , the two largest bells had to be delivered for armament purposes, so that only the bell from 1774 remained in the church. In 1920 the church received a second bell again.
