Chapel of Our Dear Women (Hanover)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The chapel of our dear women in front of Hanover was a sacred building from the middle of the 14th century. The chapel was donated in 1349 and was located in the area of ​​the village of Embere , outside the city walls in front of the Aegidientor of Hanover in the area of ​​the later Aegidienneustadt . The church bore the patronage of " Our dear women " and was also called the St. Mary's Chapel in front of the Aegidian Gate or Our Lady Chapel . In its three centuries of history, the building and the associated churchyard were initially relocated due to the expansion of the city ​​fortifications of Hanover and finally demolished during the Thirty Years' War in 1645. The building is the older predecessor of today's St. Marien garden church .

history

The chapel goes back to a donation from Counts Johann, Ludolf and Ludwig von Roden and Wunstorf to the city council in 1349. A chapel with four priests and a hospital for 13 patients were to be built and maintained from the proceeds of the foundation land. In the same year the Bishop of Hildesheim confirmed the foundation and the planned church and hospital building and granted the exemption from the parish of Kirchrode . The construction of the church southeast in front of the Aegidientor did not begin before 1359; the hospital was not built at all.

Multiple expansions of the city fortifications were decisive for the further fortunes of the little church and the associated churchyard . The churchyard was moved to the northeast side of the Aegidientor in 1490. The chapel was demolished in 1534 during the Reformation. The council struck the foundation goods in agreement with the descendants of the founder of the market church .

A specially prepared overview of the churches and chapels of the city of Hanover has been preserved from the time of the Reformation , in which the names Capella Beate Marie Virginis extra Valvam S. Aegidii (“Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary outside in front of the St. Aegidiien Gate ") And Our Leven Vrowen Kapellen buten sunte Iligen dore are noted for the more common short version as" Liebfrauenkapelle ".

The mayor and city chronicler Henning Brandis , who died on March 29, 1529 and who had previously fled from Hildesheim, is said to be in the “Chapel U. l. Frauen “in the Marktkirche , next to his father-in-law Hans Blome , who was buried in the St. Anne's Chapel attached to the Marktkirche.

In 1554 a new chapel was built on the (new) Liebfrauenkirchhof, which had to give way to a new Ravelin in 1645 .

The Siebenmännerstein comes from the old Liebfrauenkapelle (today in the Hanover Historical Museum ).

Presumably the only original memento of the Liebfrauenkapelle, today's garden church St. Marien has “a damaged and weathered sandstone relief” that was placed in a niche on the south side of the nave.

The churchyard of the Liebfrauenkapelle, which was demolished in 1534, was located in what is now the southern district of Hanover . The street Liebfrauen-Kirchhof connected to the chapel was officially renamed Liebfrauenstraße in 1845.
