The Protestant church of Hatzbach is located in Hatzbach , a cluster village belonging to Stadtallendorf in the Hessian district of Marburg-Biedenkopf .
architecture
The church was built towards the end of the 15th century in the late Gothic style. However, not much of the original structure can be seen today, as the dilapidated church had to be demolished and rebuilt in 1785. The choir with the tabernacle was the only one that remained from the first church building.

history
History of origin
From 1485 to 1490, Philip I von Knoblauch zu Hatzbach built the first church in Hatzbach . He had the coat of arms of his 2nd marriage put on the outside and inside of the choir , which is still visible today. This is the so-called “Milchling coat of arms”, which shows three hearts going down across the wall. They are located outside on the south side of the facade and inside on the north side of the tabernacle. It is believed that the residents of Hatzbach previously attended the service in Elmsdorf .
History of the building
Until the Reformation , which Philip the Magnanimous in Hesse, and in the Hatzbach area Philip IV of Knoblauch (* approx. 1504; † 1565), promoted in particular, Catholic worship was held in the church. Until 1526 they had their own clergyman. The Hatzbach vicariate belonged to Josbach until 1626. After that, it was claimed by the Hessen-Darmstadt line as part of the Marburg inheritance and added to the parish of Speckswinkel . Returned after the Peace of Westphalia was concluded , the old connection existed until 1673, before it finally fell back to Josbach in 1685.
In 1785, the church was partially demolished and rebuilt by Heinrich Ludwig von Knoblauch. Only the choir remained as part of the original building, of which today the first tabernacle and the above-mentioned. Witness marriage coats of arms.
In 1954, the interior of the church and the gallery were renovated because of the better lighting. Another renovation followed in 1964–1967.
organ
The first organ was built and inaugurated in 1851 by the organ builder Carl Jakob Ziese from Ellingerode , possibly together with his father Friedrich Ziese. In 1876/1877 it was repaired by the organ builder Peter Dickel from Treisbach due to water damage. From December 10, 1924, new prospect pipes replaced the original pipes delivered to the armaments industry during the First World War .
Today's organ dates from 1976 and was made by the Lich organ building company Förster & Nicolaus . The three-part flat prospectus by Ziese with a transverse rectangular central field and two vertical rectangular side fields was retained. The flat pipe fields are closed off at the top by curved, openwork veil boards. In the pedal , the sub-bass 16 ′ was adopted from the previous organ. The single-manual slide organ with mechanical performance and register action has nine registers distributed over a manual and pedal. The disposition is as follows:

The bell
In 1892 one of the two bells was replaced by two new ones because one had cracked. So from then on three bells rang for going to church. In the course of the reparations after the First World War , the two largest bells had to be given in and melted down.
In 1924, therefore, two new bells were acquired from the Ulrich bell foundry . These were melted down during World War II and again purchased in 1950, financed by community donations. They were cast in the Junker bell foundry in Brilon .
750 year celebration
In 2012, the celebrations for the 750th anniversary took place in Hatzbach from August 8th to 13th, 2012. In this context, Mr. Vahl designed his own coat of arms, which, following heraldic convention , shows the coat of arms of the von Knoblauch family with the three plowshares, the Hatzbach and a mill wheel (symbol for the mills in the area).
