history
In spots Iburg, the below iburg castle was built, the nave of St. Nicholas Chapel was built 1226th It belonged to the parish of today's Glane district . In 1255 the chapel was marked out. From the first chapel, a walled-up arched window in today's sacristy and two narrow windows on the north side have been preserved. They were exposed in 1976 when the plaster applied in 1908 was chipped off. The church was built from quarry stone made of sandstone, which was dismantled in the so-called Benno quarry in the nearby Dörenberg .
The medieval church had separate entrances for women and men, which were later walled up. The entrance for men on the south side of the church can be recognized by its Gothic pointed arch; A sandstone sculpture was placed in the niche of the women's entrance. The church was painted with frescoes , of which a devil scene has been preserved to the left of the choir. The late Gothic choir stalls were removed; It is located in the Museum of Cultural History in Osnabrück and in the Kestner Museum in Hanover.
The furnishings include a baptism with leaf and tendril frieze made of Bentheim sandstone from the 13th century. The sculpture Anna Selbdritt was created around 1515 and comes from the circle of the master of Osnabrück . The Osnabrück sculptor Adam Stenelt made three sandstone epitaphs , of whom other works have come down to us in Bad Iburg, such as carvings on the house at Grosse Strasse 6 and on the Jagdschlösschen . The altars, the pulpit and the communion bench , which are now part of the celebration altar, date from the 18th century .
After secularization in 1803, the Fleckenskirche was replaced as a parish church by the St. Clemens monastery church in the Bad Iburg castle complex, which had previously belonged to the Benedictine monastery. Around the cemetery was the cemetery for the inhabitants of the patch until 1837, of which no remains can be seen. Since then, the cemetery , now known as the Old Cemetery , has been used as a burial site , which is only allowed to be occupied by Iburger families who have their traditional graves there. The New Cemetery was laid out at the end of the 20th century .
