Evangelical town church Gronau

The Evangelical City Church is a Protestant church building in Gronau (Westphalia) .

history

The church was built in Gothic style between 1896 and 1897 by master builder Alexander Trappen from Bielefeld and inaugurated on April 1, 1897. With the growth of the community since the 17th century, the previous "old" Protestant church not far from the former Schlossplatz from 1738 had proven to be too small, which made the new building necessary.

Description and equipment

The church was originally built in the neo-Gothic style as a Reformed preaching church, but has other styles such as that of the French early Gothic (windows, rose windows in the chancel and the shape of the buttresses ). The church tower with the clock house is based on the north German brick Gothic . The roof construction refers to the type of the Hessian hall church .

The church has three galleries , a wooden ceiling and a partially historic interior, e.g. B. a choir bench from 1477.

organ

In 2019/20 the city church received a new organ. It is an instrument that was built in 1904 by the organ building workshop Wilhelm Sauer as Opus 915 for the Evangelical Church in Dorstfeld and dismantled there by the organ building company Scheffler in early 2017 . The listed instrument, selected by the Orgelklang Foundation as “Organ of the Year 2019”, was restored by Scheffler in Brandenburg in 2019 and installed and voiced in Gronau by the beginning of March 2020. The organ is almost original and has 2362 pipes in 40 registers distributed over three manuals and pedal .
