description
Building history
With a 102 meter high tower, it was the tallest church in Düsseldorf at the time. In May 1945 a hurricane turned the wooden spire off. The war-related damage from 1944 was repaired by Aloys Odenthal from 1946 to 1948 . The church has been restored since the early 1980s. It turned out in 2001 that the building was in danger of collapsing due to structural defects in the vault and poor repair due to war damage. The church was closed and could be used again after four years of restoration. In 2011, serious damage to the rising tower and the spire was found, which is why the tower has been completely scaffolded and curtained since summer 2012. The severity of the damage that has now been identified puts the tower's equipment in the far distance.
architecture
The Herz-Jesu-Kirche is a three-aisled basilica in the neo-Gothic style. The nave is 19 m high, spanned with a net vault. The main nave is separated from the side aisles by arcades. The wall elevation is divided into three zones, with pillar arcades, triforium blind niches with tracery and upper aisles. The nave is crossed by a transept and is continued in the three-aisled choir. Via a corridor that adjoins the choir, one arrives at other rooms.
The architectural elements are made of red sandstone, such as the pillars, arcade arches, ribs, console capitals and services. The exterior is faced with tuff stone.
Furnishing
Egino Weiner created the modern equipment in 1978. This includes the altar, ambo, sediles and altar candlesticks. The motif of the vine can be found again and again. The medallions that adorn the sediles depict scenes from the Old Testament. Other scenes are from the New Testament.
The church windows with the following motifs were created by Jochem Poensgen :
- Choir window, in the middle: ark and rainbow, vine and seven sacraments, spirit dove
- Choir window, left side: Tree of Paradise, Agnus Dei
- Choir window, right side: tree of knowledge with Adam and Eve, tree of the cross with Mary, hand of God
- Sacristy window: depictions of saints
- Altar sacristy: motif of young men in the fiery furnace.
Via the right aisle one reaches the right choir chapel, where a Madonna by Baumgartner can be seen. The chapel of the dead can also be reached via the right aisle. There is an angel figure by Kurt Zimmermann and a window (motif: Tree of Life) by Jochem Poensgen . Otherwise a Jesus-Johannes group - a copy of an original from Upper Swabia (around 1320) - and a Maria as "Sedes Sapientiae" can be seen in the right aisle. The figure of Mary is the original model for another work in bronze, which was made in 1960 by Kurt Zimmermann for the Cologne seminary .
Via the left aisle you can reach the left choir chapel, where Christ Salvator by Otto Bussmann can be seen. The left aisle also leads to the left transept, where a Way of the Cross by Johannes Grüger (1906–1992) and various reverse glass paintings can be seen. The baptistery can also be entered via the left aisle. There is a baptismal font from the time it was built and a copper-powered helmet that was created later. The helmet shows various motifs such as hind, Noah's ark, fish, little ship Petri. In the baptistery there is an Easter candlestick with Easter scenes by P. Walter Schulten (1920–1993) and windows by Toni Tünnerhoff (1982).
The figural decorations on the pillars represent the portraits of the virtues. The reason for this is because the Church of the Heart of Jesus also served as a garrison church. The figural decorations on the organ gallery represent King David.
