Half-timbered chapel from Niederhörlen
The half-timbered chapel Niederhörlen was in 1624 Niederhörlen built and continues to be a dislocation in 1974 part of the museum Hesse Park .
history
According to the church chronicle of the place, the half-timbered chapel was inaugurated in 1624. A bell from 1626 hangs in the new church in Niederhörlen to support this depiction. Dendrochronological studies indicate that the logs used were felled between 1656 and 1658. From 1774 to 1775 the church was expanded to the east and a new, larger gallery was built.
Niederhörlen belonged to the parish of Breidenbach until 1930 . In the chapel itself, the service was only celebrated four times a year to enable the disabled and the sick to attend the service. In 1930 the parish was changed to Oberhörlen . The chapel was supposed to be demolished in 1962, against which the parish and the monument protection authorities objected, which was granted: In 1972 a new church was built; the chapel was dismantled in 1973 and 1974 in the Hessenpark translocated . Today the chapel represents a core of the "Central Hesse construction group" in Hessenpark. In 2009 the chapel was completely renovated.
architecture
The church building is a two-story rectangular half-timbered building. The interior was plastered before the demolition and was restored to its original state with visible half-timbering after the reconstruction. In the interior the four evangelists are depicted on the west gallery and the twelve apostles on the longitudinal gallery. A sandstone altar and a pulpit with a marbled central column form the interior furnishings next to the stalls.
graveyard
There is a cemetery next to the church. Even if the tombstones come from different places and times, they should still reflect the characteristics of rural cemeteries in Central Hesse .
