History and architecture

Predecessor churches

The first local priest was the seminary priest Jacobsmeier, he moved to Gleidorf in 1898, so the prerequisite for the establishment of a branch community was fulfilled. The first services were held in the Lingemannschen chapel from 1858, which, however, became too small despite the installation of an organ gallery. A new church was planned in the center of the village, the cathedral master builder Arnold Güldenpfennig created the plans and the vicariate general gave the approval for the construction, the foundation stone of which was laid on June 21, 1905. The consecration took place on August 18, 1906. In the following years baptismal font , organ and stations of the cross were purchased. The interior changed its appearance several times over the years, the neo-Romanesque high altar was removed, the apse was first painted and later whitewashed again. The baroque furnishings were taken from the Lingemann chapel . Under canon law, the branch congregation became independent in 1951 and parish off the county. The old church from 1905 had been built in fifteen months with inadequate building materials and soon showed severe deficiencies.A last service was celebrated on February 8, 1982, after which the building was closed and on February 15, 1982, it was abandoned within a few hours. The rubble stones that were still usable were piled up on the building site for the new church for reuse.

New Church

Auxiliary Bishop Nordhues gave the first impetus for the construction of the new church in 1979 , followed by a further discussion in 1981 with Archbishop Johannes Joachim Degenhardt . The architect of the new church was Johannes Reuter from Kassel. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on March 6, 1983, the foundation stone was laid on June 11, 1983 by Vicar General Kresing and inserted into the masonry along with the foundation stone of the old church. After the roof had been covered with slate, the church tower was erected in May 1984. The tower was crowned with a Petrushahn on July 13, 1984, and a cross was placed on the church roof. The consecration was carried out by Johannes Joachim Degenhardt on December 8, 1984. Until then, the youth home served as an emergency chapel, in which the altar, confessional and baptismal font stood. The eternal light burned here too. The floor plan of the church consists of a square with four gables that face each other in the shape of a cross. Above it rises the masonry made of Sauerland greywacke and an eleven meter high pyramid with a folding roof in the shape of a gable on the sides. The bell tower has a similar shape. The outer shape is continued in the interior, with the altar at the center.

crypt

The crypt is accessed via a staircase that leads past the sacristy door. A small weekday church was set up in the room under the altar island. Adapted to the liturgy of the cartage, there are three large paintings and parts of a Way of the Cross. The pictures show Jesus 'farewell to his mother , Jesus' death on the cross and the body of Jesus on his mother's lap . The works in the early Nazarene style are by a Munich painter. The fourteen Stations of the Cross were created by Joseph Ritter von Führich from 1844 to 1846. On the south side of the crypt are six casts of the Stockum baptismal font , which is considered the oldest baptismal font in the Sauerland.

Anno Chapel

The Anno chapel was set up in the tower and is accessible from the church square. The colored glass windows were delivered in 1906 by Bernhard Kraus from Mainz. They show the representations of the church festivals Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. The windows come from the choir of the old church, they were walled up and were found again during the demolition. The relief above the entrance shows the founding of the Grafschaft monastery by Anno and Countess Chuniza in 1072. The archbishop receives the deed of donation from Chuniza, the seven skulls indicate their guilt. She allegedly poisoned her seven husbands.

tower

The Anno chapel is set up in the basement of the tower, above is the bell cage, the ringing consists of six bells. The two old bronze bells come from the Grafschaft monastery; they were cast in 1625 by wandering bell founders for the choir tower of the abbey church. The bell with the name Maria weighs 300 kg, the Jesus bell 220 kg, both have a Latin inscription and the year 1625. The bell with the name Nicholas weighs 500 kg. The three steel bells were cast in 1920 for the St. George Church in Bad Fredeburg, the Christ bell weighs 785 kg, the Anno bell 350 kg and the Georgius bell 465 kg.

Furnishing

Some pieces of equipment still come from the old church, others were acquired in the years that followed.

  • The image of the Virgin Mary of Perpetual Help is a work by the sculptor Braun from Paderborn, who also created the high altar from 1906, it hangs at the western side entrance.
  • A Sacred Heart statue from around 1880 stands above the foundation stone of the old churches, indicating the patronage . This sandstone figure was brought from Paderborn in 1980, it was broken out of a stone back wall, damage to the back is evidence of this.
  • The baroque wooden figure of St. Antonius was carved by Joseph Stratmann, from whose hand the figures of Mary and Joseph come. The figures were originally painted in color . Since there were no depictions of Joseph in the Baroque period without a baby Jesus, this is probably originally a depiction of an apostle who became Joseph by adding the attribute of the lily . The figure of Mary was originally the central figure of a Mary altar. All three figures have stood in the Lingemann chapel since 1858 and came from Züschen , the original location is not known.
  • On the organ front you can see the head of a monk made of red sandstone, he has folded his hands under his chin and is staring outside through a window. It is popularly known as the haunted monk .
  • The mission cross of the congregation bears the inscription Mein Heil-Die Andere .
  • The figure of Elisabeth of Thuringia is a replica of the representation of Elisabeth in the Elisabeth Church in Marburg .
  • In the Marienkonche there is a figure of Mary as Queen of Heaven, it comes from the Stratmann workshop. Two baroque angel heads from the Ochsenfarth company from Paderborn added, the background painting in the modern style was designed by Wilhelm Buschulte from Unna.
  • The baroque altar was built in 1580 and was the high altar in Züschen until 1711, when it was replaced by a new one. In 1858 Franz Lingemann bought the altar for his chapel built on his property.
  • The tabernacle was made in 1906.
  • The celebration altar stands together with the ambo and the font on the altar island.
  • The lecture cross from around 1380 is the oldest piece of equipment, it is late Romanesque and comes from northern Spain, where Gerona was a stronghold of goldsmithing. During a restoration in 1984, it was found that the wooden core was not the original, the metal parts had several nail holes, which indicate multiple processing. The figures were partially damaged and fire-gilded. All damage was repaired during the restoration. The newly created foot contains a relic of the Felizitas. The cross probably served as a processional cross in a monastery in Spain for centuries, then came into the possession of the German aristocracy and was bought there by Paderborn in the art trade.
  • A large free-hanging cross hangs above the altar; it entered the church in 1979. Christ is depicted without instruments of suffering or a crown of thorns. The work was carved in South Tyrol .
  • The conversion bell at the entrance to the sacristy originally hung in the roof turret of the old church.

organ

The historic organ comes from London, it was extensively renovated by a local organ builder and installed and consecrated in the church in 2009.
