History and architecture
A previous church was first mentioned in 1591 as a branch church of Marxheim . The wide, plastered hall was built in 1754 on behalf of Landgrave Ludwig III. built. The church was extensively restored by 2004.
The ship is also illuminated through high windows. The robe of red sandstone have segmental arch and wedge-shaped keystones . The church is accessed through two sandstone portals with curved roofs, which are attached in the middle of the long sides.
The undivided three-storey west tower with corner pilasters on a square floor plan is integrated into the ship and drawn into it. It already shows classicist features and was possibly completed after the church was built. An octagonal dome lantern , which is completely slated, is placed on the walled shaft, which has arched windows and ends with flat triangular gables . The delicate top is crowned by a tower pommel, a decorated cross and a weathercock. The bell chamber houses a bronze bell by Benedikt Schmitter from 1678, which was taken over from the previous building.
Furnishing
The interior is closed off by a flat ceiling with a haunch . The baroque church furnishings have been preserved. A three-sided gallery is built into the western part of the interior . During the restoration work, paintings were discovered under the varnish of the galleries . They show scenes from the life of Jesus and the apostles in shades of blue on a gray background. The east gallery is supported by the projecting pulpit wall and serves as a place of installation for the organ. The principal pieces altar , pulpit and organ are arranged one above the other according to Protestant tradition. The altar dates from 1761. The wooden church stalls leave a central aisle free.
organ
The organ by the Swiss master organ builder Johann Conrad Bürgy was built in 1769 for the French Reformed Church in Frankfurt-Bockenheim and transferred to Frankfurt in 1789, where it served as an interim instrument. The community in Diedenbergen purchased the organ in 1791 for 1,400 guilders. The implementation took place in 1795. Since it did not fit into the church, the ceiling had to be raised. The monument organ is decorated with Rococo ornamentation. The organ was repaired several times in the 19th century, but was spared major modifications. The Lich company Förster & Nicolaus restored the instrument in 2018. The two-manual work comprised 18 registers , 15 of which are original. This makes the organ the most important surviving work by Johann Conrad Bürgy. Your current disposition is as follows:
