Holy Spirit Church (Iserlohn)
The Catholic Heilig-Geist-Kirche is a local church building at Hans-Böckler-Straße 48 in Iserlohn , a town in the Märkisches Kreis ( North Rhine-Westphalia ). The parish belongs to the Iserlohn Pastoral Association in the Archdiocese of Paderborn .
History and architecture
The church was built from 1938 to 1939 according to plans by the architect Ludwig Braun. A heavy square tower was built into the side of the gable. The foundations of this tower were inadequate and damaged and required total demolition in 1967. In the same year, a tower designed separately as a campanile was built according to plans by Heinrich Stiegemann . The facade of the church building was complemented symmetrically and given a functional appearance through three protruding arched portals and three narrow arched windows .
The increased to six stages, withdrawn Choir is exposed from the side and from a pitched roof covered. The low side entrances with monopitch roofs have arched arcades towards the large hall. The interior is divided into eight bays by pillars . The organ room has moved in like the choir and is equipped with a gallery and vestibules. The three-part Pentecost window is remarkable, it was made in 1940 by Otto Peters.
Furnishing
organ
The organ was built in 1953 as an instrument with electropneumatic cone chests, an electrically controlled sliding chest and a Rückpositiv were added later. The instrument with a free pipe prospect originally stood in front of the window front on the rear gallery. These different store systems and also different intonation parameters produced a non-homogeneous sound. In the years before 2011, problems arose with the wind supply because the wind motor was damaged; it was only partially functional. The dirty pipework and considerable other damage and wear and tear required repairs. The electrical installations were damaged, the cone stroke poorly regulated. In addition, the church interior should be redesigned.
The organ building company Elmar Krawinkel & Sohn was commissioned with the restoration and designed a reorganization of the instrument. When repositioning the sub-units, the pedal unit was lowered and taken over in its full 16 'length. The swell was previously near the floor, it was raised to the level of the main structure; the sound radiation was improved and the blind housing was covered by octave 4 'of the main work. The lost parts of the housing surfaces were renewed. New and additional walking floors, surfaces and scaffolding ensured more stable and safe maintenance. During the final re-intonation, several test tones were developed to adapt to the changed acoustic situation of the new interior. The sound was changed considerably, the instrument got a greater presence and a better characterization of the sound surfaces and colors. The nuclear column intonation from a measure in the 1970s has been softened, and a good development has been achieved in the area of the reed voices. Overall, a tonal gain was achieved. The organ has the following disposition:
