Evangelical Church Bübingen
The Evangelical Church of Bübingen is a sacred building in the Saarbrücken district of Bübingen . The church is a listed building.
history
The first Bübingen church was built as a chapel in the 12th century. The compact choir tower has been preserved from her . In the 14th century a sacristy was added to the chapel and turned into a church with a small nave. The choir tower was raised in the 15th century.
Around 1700 the original nave was demolished and a new one built, the Gothic portal from the 14th century was reused. Between 1700 and 1725 the church got its present appearance. In 1727, the sculptor Johannes Demuth made a new pulpit out of Bübingen sandstone , and a western gallery was added in the 19th century.
Between 1666 and 1929 the building was used as a simultaneous church until the Catholic parishioners got their own church. During the Second World War the building was used as a furniture store, but the church was consecrated again in the post-war years. In 2000/01 the roof was restored, in 2004 the interior was restored by the master painter and restorer Thomas Stief from Bliesransbach .
architecture
The small rectangular hall church is a plastered quarry stone building with a steep pitched roof. It stands in a raised churchyard with an old fence. The oldest preserved part of the church is the squat square choir tower with barrel vaults from the 12th century, which was extended by a bell in the 15th century. The hall has a flat ceiling. The tower has a two-part window with a quatrefoil from the 14th century on the east side . The narrow sound windows with round arches are designed as twin windows and separated by a central column. The roof of the tower is an eight-sided, slate pyramid.
There is a small sacristy to the north of the choir. A Gothic window in the choir has also been preserved from the previous building. In the west there is a Gothic pointed arch portal with a profiled sandstone reveal. The console stones are figurative, a heraldic rose emblazoned on the arched field . It is flanked by two round windows. The choir and nave are separated by a baroque portal. The church is illuminated from two window axes with arched windows on the long sides.
organ
In 1881 the organ of the church was installed in Bübingen by the Oberlinger brothers, Windesheim. It comes from an unknown organ builder from the 18th century. The monogram HR1709 can be found in the belt frame of the rear wall . According to local tradition, the organ is said to have been built by the Stumm brothers in 1752, but this must be doubted, since the wind chest that has been preserved does not correspond to the construction principles of the Stumm workshop.
The instrument was repeatedly rebuilt and expanded in such a way that not much of the original organ has survived. In 1951, Lothar Hintz from Heusweiler carried out a renovation, and in 1977 organ builder Strothmann from Saarbrücken. The playing and register action are mechanical. The disposition has been as follows since 1977:
