Memorial Church (Neustadt am Rennsteig)
The Protestant Memorial Church , also known as the Schwarzburg Church , was in Neustadt am Rennsteig in the Ilm district in Thuringia from 1877 to November 2016 . It was torn down.
history
The Schwarzburg Church was inaugurated in 1887 for the faithful in the Neustädter Territory of the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen after twenty-two years of construction. After 1945 the building was mostly used as a mourning hall. The church, demolished in 2005, was to be sold. There was no buyer.
The pews were sold by the parish and the organ was given to the parish of Oschersleben . The bell stored in the attic was placed in the Michaeliskirche .
The church was demolished in November 2016. More than half of this was financed from the EKM's “demolition fund” .
architecture
The slate-clad wooden church had the shape of a hall church with a simple tent roof. There was a single-storey, three-sided gallery . The narrow church tower, which was pulled in and dismantled in 2002, was covered by an octagonal hood with a button and a weather vane. Originally he owned a tower clock. The bells were in an adjacent bell house until the 1960s. The three large, neo-Gothic pointed arched windows in the long sides of the nave were divided horizontally after the Second World War , creating the lower square window openings. The semicircular apse also had a large neo-Gothic window.
