The Herz-Jesu-Kirche is a Catholic parish church in Herne . It is located in the south of the city of Herne and is the second Catholic church in the city of Herne built in the 20th century within the boundaries of 1897. Today it is the parish church of the St. Dionysius parish of the Emschertal dean's office in the Archdiocese of Paderborn.

Building history and structure

The diocese of Paderborn planned for the end of the 19th century in the rapidly expanding city of the spin-off of new parishes from Boniface -Gemeinde. Before the Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Mary's in Baukau was parish off in 1901 . The parcel of the Herz-Jesu-Kirche on Altenhöfener Strasse, four acres in size, was purchased at the end of 1901. Construction of the church began three years later. The Dortmund architect Johannes Franziskus Klomp designed a double-towered long building as a three-aisled basilica in neo-Gothic style with a choir closure as a polygonal apse . The transepts protrude only a little beyond the nave and form a separate crossing with it . The church is east. The vaults are designed as a star vault over the crossing and the choir , otherwise as a net vault . The structure of the church is double-shelled, made of bricks on the inside and Ibbenbüren sandstone on the outside. The architectural parts as cornices, window frames and tracery were made of sand or tuff stone . The church holds about 900 people.

The first groundbreaking took place on August 10, 1904 and the foundation stone was laid on September 30, 1904 by Paderborn Bishop Wilhelm Schneider . On March 3, 1906, was topping celebrated, and on October 21 In 1906 the blessing of the church by Dean Shepherd, on 28 September 1908, the consecration by Bishop William Schneider.

On January 1, 1910, the previous parish vicarie of St. Boniface became an independent parish. The interior decoration took place over the next thirty years as a result of the war, upheaval and economic crises.

The church was badly damaged by bombing raids from 1940 to 1944. The south tower was hit by an incendiary bomb on June 26, 1943 , and the missing helmet was not restored. On November 6, 1944, an aerial mine fell in front of the main portal , tearing the rosette , which ended in a Gothic pointed arch, out of the wall and irreversibly destroying it.

From November 18 to 19, 1944, all the windows with their tracery, the roofs and the painting were destroyed. After makeshift repairs, the services were resumed on July 1, 1945. The reconstruction dragged on until 1948/1949. Today's windows (see below) were inaugurated in 1953. Another renovation took place in 1969/1970, whereby - inspired by the Second Vatican Council - the altar was installed in the front center of the choir. A fundamental renovation of the exterior took place in 1977/1978, in 1981 a colored interior renovation and between 1987 and 1990 the towers and in 1990 the roof had to be renovated.

Works of art

The glass windows are designs by the Herne artist Jupp Gesing and were created between 1953 and 1956. The windows of the choir are mainly red behind the high altar in the middle with the depiction of the death on the cross with Christ as king and priest and the institution of the altar sacrament. The next window, dominated by blue, shows the poverty of the world, Mother Mary and the other six sacraments. The closing windows have carpet patterns.

The remaining windows designed in 1956 show the crown as a recurring symbol as the price of victory. A rose window designed in 1957 for the west window that was not restored was not implemented.

The early Gothic font made of white sandstone on four marble columns has eight reliefs . The hood is of a later date.

Like the ambo in 1970, the altar table has a Gothic shape.

The Way of the Cross with its 14 stations dates from 1921 and was executed by Anton Waller in Düsseldorf and framed by the sculptor Anton Becker in Rheda, both important representatives of the Wiedenbrück school .

Two votive paintings on stone plinths in the transepts show "Christ on the Mount of Olives " and " Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia "; they date from 1928.

The altarpiece or tabernacle was consecrated in 1983. The steles made of Weser sandstone bear representations from the subjects of people, nature, technology, work, family and proclamation. The three-dimensional cross rises above it. Next to it four panels of the old high altar from 1921, which was designed by the Mainz cathedral builder Ludwig Becker and executed by the Paderborn sculptor Philipp Reichmann , were attached . Other pieces of the altar are used in the church for other purposes.

Former pieces of equipment The pulpit from the time the church was built was not reinstalled in 1970 and was temporarily stored in the depot of the Diocesan Museum in Paderborn . Since 1996 it has been in the Marienkirche in Herford using casts of the original evangelist figures still used in the Herz-Jesu-Kirche .

Art projects

In 2006 the artist Guido Dettoni carried out the “ Art Experience Herz Jesu” with parishioners. From the resulting forms, Guido Dettoni created a work that was shown in December 2006 and 2007 as a projection on the west window. An implementation of the overall picture of the animation as a permanent glass installation on the church front has not yet been implemented.

Bells

The four bells have the tone sequence c sharp'-e'-f sharp'-g sharp 'form the liturgical motif of the prefation - "Per omnia saecula saeculorum - from eternity to eternity" - and were cast in 1968 by the Bochum Association . The bells are

  • "St. Josef "(cis ° -Moll) 1,600 mm, 2,000 kg
  • "St. Marien “(e'-major) 1,360 mm, 1,017 kg
  • "St. Barbara “(F sharp minor) 1,180 mm, 606 kg

Franz Xaver Düwell

The farmer's son Franz Xaver Düwell (born May 31, 1869 in Steinheim (Westphalia) ; † December 7, 1952 in Herne) studied Catholic theology at the Catholic faculties in Münster, Innsbruck and Paderborn and finally became a bishop in Paderborn on March 9, 1894 Hubert Theophil Simar ordained a priest. First as a mission vicar in Bitterfeld and after a time in Oeventrop (Sauerland) he became the first chaplain in the St. Boniface parish in Herne in 1904. In 1907 he was appointed parish vicar at the newly built Herz-Jesu-Kirche. At the same time he became the school principal. In 1910, the Paderborn bishop Karl Joseph Schulte appointed him pastor of the independent Herz-Jesu parish.

The steadily growing community was all about his work. In addition to the church building and the rectory, an orphanage and a large clubhouse were built. Furnishing and revitalizing the buildings and the community were important to him, and even the war years that went hand in hand with the destruction of his work could not slow down his creativity during the subsequent reconstruction. Appointed city dean in April 1924 (awarded for the first time outside of the St. Bonifatius congregation), he also held office here until he left on March 18, 1949.

Alfons Vogt

Pastor a. D. Alfons Vogt on his 100th birthday.

Alfons Vogt was born on July 1st, 1914 in Weißenfels and, according to his own reports, decided to become a Catholic priest at the age of 5. After graduating from high school in his hometown, he studied theology and philosophy at the theological academy in Paderborn and the philosophical-theological university of Tübingen. On April 2, 1938, at the age of 24, he was ordained a priest in Paderborn Cathedral from Archbishop Caspar Klein with a special permit . His first position as vicar was in Dalhausen from 1938 to 1940 . He acted as parish administrator in Bad Westernkotten between 1940 and 1942. His third post was in Hövel from 1942 to 1947 , where he worked during one of the most difficult times for the community, the time of World War II and the slow new beginning, the integration of expellees and their return dedicated by prisoners of war. His next place of employment was from 1947 to 1951 as vicar at the St. Georg branch church in Gelsenkirchen, in order to return to his next place of employment in the Sauerland. His particular merit is the development of the St. Josef community in Neheim-Bergheim , where he worked from 1951 to 1961. Back in the Ruhr area, he was pastor of the Herz-Jesu congregation in Herne from 1961 to 1992 and remained loyal to this city even after he retired. So he brought his many years of experience as a priest until 2000 as a subsidiar in Herne-Holthausen . In 2008 he moved to the St. Antonius retirement home in Brakel , where he was, among other things, chairman of the home advisory board. Alongside his sister Margarete Vogt (1919–2008), Ms. Erika Künne (1930–2013) accompanied him as a long-time employee, who was already active as a pastoral assistant and later as a parish clerk under the two predecessors.

Over the years, he has accompanied numerous ship pilgrimages to the Bornhofen monastery and organized annual pilgrimages and educational trips to Switzerland to see St. Niklaus von Flüe . One of his interests was FC Schalke 04 and, as far as he was able, playing the organ. In addition to his pastoral services in the individual parishes, he has made a special contribution to the promotion of foreign missions: he shared great sympathy and cooperation with the Bishop of Añatuya in Argentina, Jorge Gottau CSsR . Alfons Vogt died on August 12, 2015 in Brakel.
