The Protestant parish church of Sst Simon and Judas Thaddäus is a listed church building in Bad Sassendorf , a municipality in the Soest district in North Rhine-Westphalia . The church described here and the parish church of St. Pantaleon in Lohne belong to the parish founded in 1973. The parish history of both churches was largely similar, as there were dependencies between the mother church in Lohne and the branch church in Bad Sassendorf. The buildings, however, differ due to the different times they were built.

History and architecture

The Archbishop of Cologne, Heinrich von Virneburg, confirmed on April 18, 1313, the permission to build a baptistery , a churchyard and a school. The abbot of St. Pantaleon in Cologne , who was also appointed for the mother church in Lohne, was to act as secular patron . The chapel was subordinate to the pastor in Lohne. He was also responsible for appointing a vicar . The parish was obliged to support the mother church and had to provide the pastor with a house. The chapel was given baptism rights by the archbishop in 1313. A Kappelan Theodoricus was mentioned in a document as the first cleric in 1929. The chapel probably became independent from the mother church during the Reformation . When the parish church was raised is not documented. A bell inscription from 1517 shows that the church was originally consecrated to St. Anthony and was then placed under the patronage of St. Simon and Jude Thaddäus . The last Catholic pastor before the Reformation was A, Vogler, he worked until 1532. After that, an evangelical interim was set up until 1548, which was then replaced by Catholic clergy until 1590, since then the church has been Protestant.

The three - aisled, two - bay hall with a just closed, lower one-bay choir was probably built from 1420 in hammer-right quarry stone, it is the successor building to the chapel built in 1313. At the beginning of the Soest feud , the building was completed except for the vaults and was then interrupted. The tower and the choir vault were completed by the end of the 15th century. Buttresses attached to the outside and the beginnings of ribs in the interior show that a vault was provided for the central nave. However, a flat wooden ceiling was installed. This wooden ceiling was replaced by a vault in 1905. The year 1431 is preserved in a roof beam of the nave, the roof of the tower is dated 1511. The central nave is wider than it is long and therefore appears squat. It is similar to the layout of the Hohnekirche in Soest and belongs to a number of similar Börde churches. The rib vault in the Chorjoch was finished in the 15th century with an eight-pointed Sälz star as a keystone . The walls are divided by two-part tracery windows, the windows in the choir area are three-part. The windows in the sacristy are also in two parts. There are three portals, one each in the north and south walls of the nave and one in the tower, the wall of which was reopened in 1905. The portal on the north side is older than that on the south side; the south portal is flat covered. The tower has four floors and is slightly drawn into the nave; it is accessed through a stair tower. The walls in the bell storey are structured by small acoustic arcades, the middle column of which is set. These columns are believed to have come from another, older building. The tower is crowned with an eight-sided bent helmet. The sacristy is on the south side, like the tower, it is closed with a wooden ceiling.

The interior is olive green, due to the Soest green sandstone used on the pillars and belt arches. The pews are also painted in this color. The weight of the vault is borne mainly by massive round pillars. The wall paintings in the choir from the end of the 15th century show the 12 apostles, they were heavily painted over in 1910 by the painter Ebeling from Hanover in an attempt at restoration. The apostles stand on pedestals, the front side is serrated. Not all are provided with attributes, but the assignment is clearly possible because the names were written above the heads. Judas Thaddäus is missing from the apostles, Paul and Matthias are part of the group. The iconology has the following explanation: Matthias takes the place of the traitor Judas Ischarioth, so the number 12 is reached again. Since the painter would have reached 13 with Paul, he left out Judas Thaddäus, probably because of the consonance of his name with that of the traitor. The only preserved gallery is the organ gallery. In the past, the so-called wage-earners and servants' platforms stood on the side walls.

Furnishing

altar

The centerpiece of the altar is a crucifixion group painted on wood. In this painting the pastor Johann Conrad Draudius, who was pastor in Lohne and Sassendorf from 1642 to 1660, was shown standing next to Maria. He is dressed in black regalia and holds the Holy Scriptures in front of him. The picture is a good example of Westphalian panel painting in the baroque period. In the predella the Last Supper is represented, it is accompanied by the words of institution. According to an investigation in 1965, the frame of the altar, where the designation 166th can be read, has changed significantly over time. At the beginning of the 20th century, the original upper part was replaced by the current cornice. The columns with the Corinthian capitals have been preserved. Possibly the altar was donated by the noble families von Dolffs and von Menge, whose coats of arms could be deciphered on the pedestals.

Bells

The chime includes three bells. The smallest bell was cast in 1947 and rings in c ". It is a copy of the bell from 1434. The inscription ihesus, maria, Johannes anthonius anno domini MDXVII herman vogel goet mi can be seen on the middle bell . The bell has the evangelist symbols and two 15 cm high figures, it has a diameter of 77 cm and sounds in a '. The third bell was donated by the Sälzers in 1861 and had to be melted down in 1917 during the First World War. The replacement bell delivered afterwards had to be used in 1940 during the Second World War It was replaced in 1966 and bears the inscription Friede auf Erden . It has the tone g '.

Baptismal font

The stone baptismal font is octagonal and probably comes from the previous chapel. It was carved from Soest green sandstone and is the oldest piece of equipment in the church. The cup-shaped baptismal font was found in 1937 during excavation work on the Bilkenhof. Its edge profile is circumferential.

pulpit

The baroque pulpit is a work from the end of the 17th century. The pulpit has five sides and the four evangelists with their associated symbols are shown on the panels in the middle part. The four panels are painted on wood. The names of the evangelists are written in the small fillings below. The individual zones are separated from each other by round cornices. The basket is carried by a foot, which is reinforced towards the bottom, it stands on a stone base. The frame has recently been renewed based on the old model. The star of the salt berries is octagonal, it was placed under the sound cover. The painting on the stair cladding resembles a mirror decorated with leaves. The brass lectern has a copper plate, the work dates from around 1700.

organ

The organ was built in 1951 by the organ building company E. Hammer from Hanover. It stands on the organ gallery. When the organ was built, parts of the previous instrument from 1867 were reused.
