Evangelical Church Hertingen
The Hertingen Evangelical Church is the parish church of the Bad Bellingen district of Hertingen in the Lörrach district . It was rebuilt in the 1780s and replaced a dilapidated previous building.
history
The historical development of the church in Hertingen is not entirely clear. In any case, there were initially two settlements, Klein-Hertingen (Hertingen minori) and the great Hertingen.
The risen town of Klein-Hertingen was between Hertingen and today's Bundesstraße 3 . Remains of older buildings are said to have come to light there several times. A “Capellania et Capella ad St. Petrum” is said to be mentioned for Klein-Hertingen in 1130. In fact, before 1859 a win was supposed to be named “St. Peter ”. "Hirtinchaim" is said to be mentioned as early as the Liber memorialis Sancti Galli , the St. Gallen fraternization book from the period 801–900. The name after St. Peter "suggests older age and very probably points to the late Merovingian , ie still early Franconian times", because "numerous St. Peters churches in Breisgau are connected to Alemannic aristocratic property." 1275 is in Klein-Hertingen mentioned the chapel again, later (1360-70) referred to as Ecclesia (church), but finally in 1493 again as a chapel (namely branch) "minoris Hertikeij," The church set was before 1380 with the German rulers in Beuggen , later with the Margraves ; A few masses were also read annually from Bürgeln . It is not known when Klein-Hertingen and with it the Peterskirche went under.
The actual Hertingen was also closer to the Bundesstraße 3 than today's place, namely about where the cemetery is today on its western edge. The devastation of the Thirty Years' War and lack of water prompted the relocation of the village to the Haselbach valley. A pastor in “Hertinchein” is mentioned for the first time in 1215, the church in 1275. The patronage lay with the margraves, the building obligation until 1735 with the lords of Rotberg , who were liege lords of the margraves in Hertingen up to this point . They seem to have done little to preserve the church building, about which little is known. In 1736 the community turned to the new rule, the Margrave Karl Wilhelm . In 1761 a moving complaint followed. The church is dilapidated, damaged and too small for the 400 souls of the place, so that a new and larger one is necessary. The tower wobbles and threatens to collapse. Its roof structure is so fragile that you cannot even secure the clockwork in it. The weights had recently fallen and could have "killed 20 people, if not dangerously." The roughly 22 meter long, 6 meter wide and 4 meter high church was "because of the narrowness, nothing but an opportunity for crowds and crowds Disarray. The narrowness of the churchyard does not allow an extension. It is awkward that the church is outside of the village. ”In cold weather, the way out of the village is too far for children and old people. Demolishing the church would also enable the necessary expansion of the cemetery. In 1780 the building was so dilapidated that the tower had to be tied together with ropes. In 1782 the church and school visit protocol had to admit that there was no other place where the church was in such a miserable state as in Hertingen. The church was eventually demolished in 1785-1786; only two pointed arches were left to the left of the cemetery entrance.
In 1785 the community laid the foundation stone for a new church sponsored by Margrave Carl Friedrich von Baden . The remains of the old church were partially reused for the new building. In the years 1971 to 1972 the church received, among other things, new glass windows, a new gallery and a new altar. In an extension on the south wall, the community received business and event space. After the renovation work, the church was consecrated again on July 9, 1972.
description
Church building
The church building consists of a rectangular, hipped roof-roofed nave and a three-storey bell tower attached to it . The long sides of the nave have rectangular windows in two rows. The main entrance is in the east facade, a side entrance in the north facade.
The tower, with its reddish sandstone corner blocks, is covered by a pyramid roof, slightly bent in the lower third , which is crowned by a tower ball and a weathercock . On each floor of its west facade, it has rectangular windows with vertical slats. On the upper floor it has rectangular sound openings on each side and a clock face of the tower clock above.
Interior and outfit
The interior of the church is drawn in with a flat ceiling. A simple cross hangs above the simple altar. To the left of the altar is a pulpit .
The image on the south wall of the nave was obtained by Niel Bohn. ("One of you will betray me")
organ
The organ is a listed building. Coming from the time the church was built, in 1787 it was the last work of organ builder Blasius Bernauer (1740-1818), who lived in Staufen im Breisgau , before he had to give up his independence for economic reasons and only worked in the workshop of his son Xaver Bernauer . Incidentally, only the cases in Tiengen and that of the choir organ in St. Peter , as well as the choir organ in Laufenburg in Switzerland and a box organ in Rheinfelden in Switzerland attributed by the organ expert Bernd Sulzmann (1940–1999) have survived from this master .
The instrument in Hertingen has a manual , an attached pedal and seven registers . During the 19th century the organ was repaired several times, but it was kept in its original historical condition. It was not until 1972, during a restoration by Hermann Eule from Bautzen, that the mixture had to be renewed after the existing stock. The last restoration was carried out in 2014 by organ builder Jens Steinhoff from Schwörstadt , whereby the instrument was moved to the front area of the redesigned gallery in order to make it more visible and to improve the sound in the room.
"The little village organ is one of the loveliest instruments on the Upper Rhine." "In Hertingen, Blasius achieved an unsurpassed sonic statement with just seven voices."

Bells
The three-part bell of the Hertingen church is composed as follows:
| Surname | Chime | Casting year | foundry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big bell | a ′ | 1950 | Albert Junker, Brilon |
| Medium bell | c ′ ′ | 1950 | Albert Junker, Brilon |
| Lever bell | e ′ ′ | 1924 | Bachert bell foundry |
From the cast material of a Weitenauer bell from 1684, the Hebel bell was created, which bears his name and a relief in honor of the poet Johann Peter Hebel and reminds of his time in Hertingen. It has the inscription “Johann Peter Hebel, Vicar in Hertingen 1780–83, the poet and glorifier of our homeland, later prelate of our Protestant prot. Regional Church in Memory ”. On the back there is the slogan: "Whoever lives Christian, het happy mother, who, dear God, steals for everything good".
