Kilian's Church (Schötmar)

Evangelical Reformed Kilian's Church in Bad Salzuflen-Schötmar

The Kilian's Church in Schötmar , part of Bad Salzuflen , is an Evangelical Reformed church built by Friedrich Heinrich Ludwig Goedecke in 1850–54 . It is a three-aisled , neo-Gothic hall church with a 5/8 end . The west tower has an octagonal upper floor, which is crowned by a ridge-like lantern with a steep tent roof. While the central nave is provided with a wooden saddle cover, the side aisles are flat covered. Renovations and restorations were made in the years 1960, 1980 and 2004. The largest church today of Lippe Church can on weekdays from 10 to 17 pm and Saturdays from 10am to 12pm as Open Church be visited.

Previous buildings

There were several previous buildings: Of a first church building, probably made of wood around 800, only the walking horizon could be proven. Before the year 1000, a small hall building 10 meters wide stood at this point . After 1150, a three-aisled cruciform basilica was built on the foundations of the hall building , which is likely to have been quite similar to the Kilian's Church in Lügde . This was demolished in 1847 due to dilapidation.

Bells

The Katharinenglocke from 1437, taken over from the previous building, rings in the tower of Kilianskirche. It sounds with the nominal fis1 –4/16 (~ 1500 kg; Ø 1270 mm) and is the oldest bell still in use in the town of Bad Salzuflen. It is also the oldest “monument” in the city of Bad Salzuflen that has been in continuous use. In 1980, it was two bells - g1 -4/16 (880 kg; Ø 1100 mm) (kg 668, Ø 990 mm) and a1 -3/16 - the Glockengießerei Rincker in sense added to the former medieval disposition.
