Garrison Church Düsseldorf
The garrison church of St. Anna on Kasernenstrasse in Düsseldorf was formerly inaugurated as the church of the electoral Hubertus Hospital ( Hospital ad St. Hubertus des Hubertusordens ) in 1735 under the priest Jacob Vereycken (1719-1736). The complex had three wings. After the Hubertusstift moved to Neusser Straße , the hospital was incorporated into the barracks in 1770. The sacred building was a plastered brick building with rounded cross arms. The cross arms were covered with flat domes. The nave had a segment-shaped barrel vault. A raised dome rose over the crossing. It was demolished around 1906 together with the redesign on Kasernenstrasse.
history
Around 1700 a new, large additional defensive area was laid out in front of the southeastern defenses of Düsseldorf. The city's old walls, earthworks and moats in this area remained in place for a few decades. Access to this area was only possible from the city via a soldiers' bridge (later called the city bridge). From 1707 to 1709 a new Hubertus Hospital was built in this area . An associated chapel, which had received a main altar with the painting “English Greeting” and a ceiling fresco by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini in the 1710s , was expanded in 1735 to form St. Anne's Church. In 1735 barracks were built in the vicinity of the hospital. In addition to the responsibility for the people from the hospital, this Catholic Church was also responsible for the pastoral care of the soldiers. After the hospital moved to Bilk in 1770 , the hospitals were also used for barracks operations and the church was now also a garrison church . However, part of the city's population continued to use this church for all church operations. The latter can be seen from the still existing church registers on the documentation of births, weddings and deaths of these townspeople.
When the church of the Cölestine Sisters on Ratinger Straße was largely destroyed by the French bombarding the city in 1794 , the high altar was moved from this church - including the altarpiece by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini - to St. Anna . In 1804, after the secularization of the Capuchin monastery on Flinger Strasse and the demolition of the associated church, its organ and two side altars followed.
From 1815 Düsseldorf belonged to Prussia and the previous subordinate position of the Protestants in the city changed. The Duchy of Berg was dominated by Catholics in the Lower Rhine area up to this point. The Church of St. Anna was now under the Prussian Ministry of War. From October 18, 1816 on, Protestant services were held regularly in addition to the Catholic mass. From September 30, 1824, the cabinet was appointed to the Protestant garrison church , which was also a simultaneous garrison church .
