history

A chapel in Langreder was mentioned in 1294. The chapel was a daughter of the Holy Cross Church in Kirchdorf. The Goltern family had the right of patronage. The location of this chapel is unknown. It is also not known when and in what way it disappeared.

In the Kirchdorfer church there was a separate Langreder door for the worshipers . The door on the north side of the nave has a late Gothic door frame.

description

East side with memorial

The current chapel in Langreder was probably built around 1630. Thick wall foundations were found during renovation work on their floor.

The walls are made of plastered stone masonry . The brick gables are steep. The chapel bell hangs in a wooden turret on the western part of the tiled roof .

On the west side of the chapel standing directly on the edge of Kapellenstrasse, the town's main thoroughfare, is the stone- clad entrance door between two massive diagonal supports . In front of the east side of the chapel, in the shade of a large tree, stands the memorial for the fallen Langreders.

The Langreder Chapel is 12.6 m long and 7.7 m wide on the outside.

Furnishing

Baptismal font

The round baptismal font on a square base dates from the 11th century.

Bell jar

The bell in the roof turret

The small bell was cast in the 14th century. It hangs in a wooden roof turret .

altar

On the stone altar of the chapel there is an old wooden carved altar on a predella acquired in 2004 .

The Predella, designed by Leipzig artist Michael Triegel , is based on historical art. It shows motifs from the Old Testament in the background and in front of them symbols on the subject of the sacrificial death of Christ and the Lord's Supper as well as text quotations from Paul's letters .

The carved altar is made of oak that was felled in the western Harz foreland around 1480 and worked soon afterwards. He used to stand in the church in Völksen . It was sold and, before 1871, donated to the Langreder Chapel.

It is a late Gothic three-part winged altar "of little artistic value". The middle part shows a crucifixion group and on the edges depictions of Saints George , Peter , Catherine and Paul . The two open side wings each show four representations from the story of suffering .

In Langreder, the middle section of the triptych initially served as a pulpit wall and later stood directly on the stone altar. The wings were hung separately on the wall of the chapel. During the restoration in 1959/60, the parts of the winged altar were put back together. The painting of the figures on the inside, which was possibly only added during a restoration in 1856, had to be removed by order of the Lower Saxony State Office for Monument Preservation, except for the red-green version of the pictures. The painting on the outside of the altar wing had already passed in 1871.

In 2019, conservation measures were necessary because the panel painting was detached from the ground in many places, sometimes over a large area. The renovation should be supported by the Calenberg-Grubenhagen landscape .
