history

The Catholics of Wustweiler belonged alternately to different parishes until the beginning of the 20th century . In 1912 a church building association was founded with the aim of building its own parish church in Wustweiler. When the First World War broke out , the project was initially prevented. As a temporary solution, an emergency church was set up in the hall of an inn on Illinger Strasse after receiving the episcopal approval . On January 1, 1925, the parish was founded Wustweiler and on 5 September 1932, the construction work began to build a church to plans by the architects Dombaumeister Julius Wirtz ( Trier ). The consecration of the completed church took place on May 14, 1934 by the Trier auxiliary bishop Antonius Mönch .

In the years 1969 to 1973 the church was subjected to serious restoration and conversion work. From 1998 to 2000 the interior of the church was restored under the direction of the architect Siegbert Barth ( Losheim am See ).

Furnishing

The church windows , which were created in 1933 and show the 14 Stations of the Cross , were made by the glass painter Franz Xaver Wilfried Braunmiller ( Munich ) . In 1971 they were restored. Painter Jakob Schwarzkopf (Trier) created a monumental altarpiece that , grouped around a life-size figure of Christ , tells stories from the Old and New Testaments . The small church window, to the right of the main portal behind the grave of the first Wustweiler pastor, Hermann Schulz, is also a work by Schwarzkopf. The sculptor Boris Ryzek ( Würzburg ) made the altar made of white Carrara marble with integrated sacrificial lamb and vines , the ambo , which shows four medallions with biblical themes, ironwork behind the altar, a hand-forged iron railing and a Sedalia in bronze with symbols that are incorporated into the back of the priest's seat.

In the crypt of the church there is a small altar, which was designed by Dechant Günter Hirschauer (Wustweiler) and made from the altar plate of the old altar. The company Mrziglod ( Tholey ) was responsible for the painting of the church from 1998 to 2000.

organ

The first organ in the church was built at the beginning of the 1950s by the French organ building company Haerpfer & Erman ( Boulay / Lorraine ). In the course of the restoration work between 1999 and 2001, the instrument was dismantled because it was in poor condition and a restoration was too expensive or no longer worthwhile. As a replacement, the organ (22 stops ) built in 1901 by the organ builder Hock was bought from the Evangelical Church in Saarlouis . Reusing parts of the old Haerpfer organ, as well as the organs of the Protestant church in Saarlouis, the Protestant church in Bad Schwalbach / Taunus and other organs, the organ builder Thomas Gaida ( Wemmetsweiler ) created a new instrument in the period from February 2001 to July 2002 built, which has 33 (36) stops, which are divided into two manuals and pedal . The case comes from the organ of the church in Bad Schwalbach. The organ is set up on a gallery and has a free-standing console , as well as a cone store with an electric game and stop mechanism .
