Leubnitz-Neuostra Church

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Leubnitz-Neuostra is a sacred building of the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Saxony in the Dresden district of Leubnitz-Neuostra . It is one of the oldest churches in the city and as a "picture church" is unique in the Dresden area. The church combines architectural styles from Romanesque to Baroque and is therefore one of the most attractive churches in Dresden in terms of style and history.

location

Church from the East

The Leubnitz-Neuostra church was built on a hill in the village of Leubnitz. It is surrounded by a spacious churchyard that is used as a cemetery and has been continuously expanded.

Building history

prehistory

It is not known when the first Leubnitz church was built. Since Leubnitz was on the trade route from Central Saxony to Bohemia, it is assumed that the place had a mission church as early as the 10th century. Because no excavations have been carried out around the Leubnitzer church, there is no evidence of earlier church buildings.

It is possible that an early church was conceived as a fortified church and made of wood around 1150. The tower of the church is documented in 1170, which still exists today and is therefore the oldest part of the church building. The tower built during the Romanesque period probably served as a defensive and protective tower. This is suggested, for example, by the wall thickness of 1.40 meters. In addition, an access to the tower at a height of 5.5 meters can still be seen in the present, which could only be reached via a ladder. The ground-level breakthrough from the tower to the nave was only created in 1437. This makes the church in Leubnitz-Neuostra one of the oldest preserved sacred buildings in Dresden, along with the Briesnitz church . Not least, it bears witness to the early Christianization efforts of the Margraves of Meissen .

From the first mention to the Thirty Years War

Elisabeth von Maltitz gave the church as a gift in 1288

The first mention of the Leubnitzer church probably comes from the year 1233, when an "ecclesia in lubiniz" is mentioned in a deed of donation to the Benedictine convent in Geringswalde . The place "lubeniz" can also be found in a confirmation document from Pope Gregory IX. from the year 1237 again. The first clearly documented mention of the village of Leubnitz and the church comes from the year 1288. In the document, the widow of Margrave Heinrichs the Illustrious , Margravine Elisabeth von Maltitz , gave the Altzella monastery the right of patronage over the church and her on June 12, 1288 Possessions in Leubnitz and Goppeln . The church and parish still belonged to the inspection of the archpriest of Dresden.

Another piece of news about the church dates back to 1437, when Bishop John IV consecrated an altar in the church in honor of the Virgin Mary and Saints Andrew , Barbara , Moritz and Ursula . During this time, the nave of the church was rebuilt in late Gothic styles. Possibly at the same time, but no later than 1511, the choir was added to the nave. At that time, Leubnitz had grown so much that an expansion of the church was necessary. Pastor Antonius Huth reported in a letter that was found in the tower button in 1666 and has been preserved in the Dresden city archives that the church tower was partially destroyed by a lightning strike in 1536, but was rebuilt by the community. When a thunderstorm was approaching, the sexton's wife tried to drive away the clouds by ringing bells and was struck by lightning like the tower.

The Reformation brought no break in the history of the use of the church: The Catholic pastor of the church Matthias Steinmetz became the first Protestant pastor in Leubnitz in the summer of 1539. In 1550, at the instigation of Elector Moritz , the patronage of the church was given to the Dresden Council by the secularized Altzella monastery .

The Leubnitz Church from the 17th to the 19th century

Large construction activities began after the end of the Thirty Years War . The Leubnitz Church received the first galleries , from 1666 basic roof work took place, so that a wooden field ceiling could then be drawn inside by 1671 . The field ceiling was painted from 1671 to 1673 by the Dresden artist Gottfried Lucas . The gallery fields were also richly painted in the early baroque style . In addition, the windows were changed in the Baroque style as early as 1667. The Renaissance pulpit from 1577 was supplemented by a sound cover in 1662.

In the 18th century the growth of the Leubnitz parish had to be countered by renewed expansion of the church. The first major renovation dates from 1705 to 1708 and is documented. In 1720 and 1721, the church received an extension in the northeast in simple baroque forms, which Johann Friedrich Karcher helped to plan and which he was involved in carrying out. Master Andreas Boxberger carried out the masonry work, while Master Bratfisch was responsible for the painting work. With the two-storey extension, manorial rooms and galleries were created. The Gothic south portal, which has been preserved, was bricked up in 1726/1727. An entrance to the tower house was also created. In the northwest, the so-called bridal hall, which was used for wedding ceremonies, was built in front of the tower. The preserved baroque altar in the church dates from 1730.

Signs of deterioration led to the first major renovation of the church, which took place from 1874 to 1889. The tracery on the south windows of the church and the simple slug panes were removed. The late Gothic east gable was simplified and the old tiled roof renewed. In addition, the church received a north-eastern extension in the form of Romanesque Gothic. Inside, painting work was done in the altar area, among other things.

Developments in the 20th and 21st centuries

Chancel with painting from 1874
The roof structure renewed in 2009

Presumably the first cracks appeared in the masonry as early as 1874, which were also found in an expert report in 1974 and whose formation continued until the cause was found in 2002. As early as 1918, due to the poor structural condition of the church, a general interior renovation was requested, but not implemented after the end of the First World War due to empty coffers . They limited themselves to the most urgent renovations. In 1922 and 1923, Karl Schulz repainted the inner church including the north galleries and freshened up the colors. The church survived the Second World War almost unscathed, so there was only slight damage to the roof and the windows.

A ten-year, extensive restoration of the church followed from 1968 under the direction of the Institute for Monument Preservation , which was completed in 1978. Later built-in galleries were removed in the chancel, the choir windows were given slug panes, while the floor was covered with sandstone slabs. Helmar Helas restored the altar, pulpit and Karcher epitaph with the assistance of Peter Taubert . The church interior was known and the sky-blue painting of the chancel from 1874, supplemented with gold stars, was removed . In 1974, Helmar Helas and Werner Wischniowski also cleaned and preserved the field ceiling. During the restoration work in June and July 1973, the church was used as a location for the film Polizeiruf 110: Eine Madonna zuviel .

The crack formation in the masonry was first examined in 1993 with the help of boreholes in the Kirchberg, but remained inconclusive. At that time, not only had large cracks appeared in the vault of the choir and on the pointed arches of the Gothic windows. There were also cracks in other buildings on the Kirchberg, including private houses and the parish hall next to the church, which was in danger of collapsing. Since 1996 the association for the protection and maintenance of the Leubnitzer Kirche e. V. for the church and its continuous maintenance.

A second, fundamental study took place from 1996 to 1999. It turned out that the church under its foundation on a Plänermergel is -Zersatz that swells with rain and dry out in dry conditions and shrinking. The subsequent slight uplift and downward movement of the church led to the cracks in the masonry. As a result of the findings, a drainage system was created to remove rainwater before it can seep away. In 2018/2019, two very dry summers resulted in a significant subsidence of the church and severe cracking in the building. It therefore had to be partially blocked. The Office for Culture and Monument Protection made an emergency backup. The church is to get a new foundation in the next few years to sustain it. The necessary funds are to be raised through subsidies and donations.

From 1999 to 2001 Lydia Wiedemann restored the gallery paintings of the church. In 2005 the church received a temperature control system. Three years later, the two epitaphs on the east wall of the church were restored. The last major work was the renewal of the roof structure in 2009, as a result of which the tiled roof of the church had to be re-covered.

Building description

Exterior

Floor plan of the church in 1904

The Leubnitz-Neuostra church is a hall church with a straight choir and a west tower . The quarry stone building has strong buttresses and a circumferential cornice in the south as well as on the choir and tower. The building ends with a gable roof . The earlier access to the church was in the south. The Gothic gate was walled up in 1727 and probably converted into a window in 1874. Today's entrances can be found on the north side: The main entrance leads into the so-called "Karcheranbau", the northern annex. A side entrance leads further west to the bridal hall and from there to the tower area with staircase. On the south side, a separate door, accessible via stairs, leads to the Nöthnitzer prayer room.

The church grew in different epochs and is due to its variety of styles from Romanesque to Baroque as "one of the most charming churches in Dresden". The two-storey, 39 meter high tower in the west of the church was built before 1188. It is square up to the ridge height and is closed off by a tent roof. An eight-sided, pointed turret rises above it. The tower ball bears a weather vane with Dresden city arms and the year 1702. The Gothic cornices of the tower have been preserved.

The nave was built in the late Gothic period, probably between 1430 and 1437. The two west bays of the nave and the triumphal arch have been preserved from this period. In addition, the formerly walled-up south gate, the base formed from the throat and round bar, the arrangement of the buttresses, the girdle and the main cornice made of strong throat and plate come from the time before 1437. The south side has three high pointed arch windows, some of which are inside Galleries are covered.

In 1511 the church was rebuilt. The two east bays of the nave as well as the cross vault with keystone, the rib profile with a simple throat and the east gable made of brick with blinds formed in the arch are part of the period. It was originally built as a stepped gable , but was greatly simplified during a renovation in 1874.

The north expansion of the church and the north-western vestibule, which is marked with the year 1721, date from the years 1720 and 1721. The northern extension, known as the “Karcheranbau”, shows “a strong, simple baroque style on two floors”. The entrance hall or bridal hall is single-storey.

Interior

The interior has a flat wooden ceiling. The hall is separated from the two-bay choir and the tower by a triumphal arch. The choir has a ribbed vault . The ceiling of the field and galleries are decorated with rich pictures. "As a so-called picture church, it is almost unique in the country," wrote a newspaper in 1974 with reference to the GDR.

Field ceiling

The field ceiling of the church

The flat, wooden field ceiling of the church was painted with glue paint by Gottfried Lucas from 1671 to 1673 . In the middle there is a larger, tetrapassic delimited field, which is followed by eight trimmed fields and 22 rectangular fields. The fields are separated from each other with attached bars. These have green leaves, with the intersections of the strips being marked by turned, gold-colored roses and thus reminiscent of "the representation of a heavenly meadow".

The field ceiling shows religious motifs: in the center there is a depiction of the Last Judgment, the eight cut fields show angels with tools of the torture of Christ, 13 rectangular panels are painted with the 13 apostles and the remaining nine fields show angels with symbols of the passion of Christ. Above the organ gallery there are six further fields, each showing two angel heads on each side and in the middle on the left the Dresden city coat of arms and on the right the Saxon spa coat of arms .

Cornelius Gurlitt called the field ceiling “a good, noteworthy job. The individual figures are carried out decoratively and look favorable from the ship in proportion and scale ”. However, as early as 1912 he regretted that “the color has fallen off many times. An early restoration would be desirable before the old colors decline even more. ”The restoration of the field ceiling was finally carried out in 1974 by Helmar Helas and Werner Wischniowski .

Galleries

View from the north gallery to the south pores and the organ and choir gallery

The interior is enclosed on three sides by wooden galleries that stand on pillars. The galleries on the south side are three-story. The pillars connecting the galleries bear the inscription “H. R. “as well as the year 1667. The gallery fields of the first two floors show biblical scenes executed in glue paint. On the third floor, which also extends over the organ gallery on the west side, there are seven pictures and associated texts. A painted field bears the signature of Gottfried Lucas, who also painted the ceiling of the field, and the year it was created in 1672. The simple gallery in the choir possibly dates from the second half of the 17th century and has a depiction of the heavenly Jerusalem on the parapet.

Nöthnitzer prayer room

The organ loft and the two-storey lofts on the north side were built in 1720 and 1721. They have rough-profiled wooden frames. The painting was by Master Bratfisch and originally showed blue stars. The north-eastern galleries were painted over for the first time in 1879 "in a poor renaissance". When the church was renovated in 1922 and 1923, they were given an Art Deco painting by Karl Schulz .

In 1923 , the painter Felix Elßner designed three parapets of the singing gallery to the left of the organ gallery with Christian Christmas motifs. He covered biblical scenes of the Revelation , which are detailed copies of engravings by Matthäus Merian . These were restored during the restoration from 1999 to 2002. Elßner's pictures, which were executed in tempera on plywood, have been in the choir ever since.

The so-called Nöthnitzer prayer room is particularly gorgeous. It was designed for Oberhofmarschall Heinrich von Taube and his wife Clara, born in 1652. Schütz, built from Nöthnitz . It is located in the middle on the south side and stands on two wooden pillars. The painting consists of white ornaments applied with gold on a blue background. The parapet consists of seven panels that were painted in glue paint. Six depict scenes from the life of Jesus from birth to resurrection. The central panel contains the alliance coat of arms of the von Taube and von Schütz families. The roof of the prayer room is supported by an entablature with curved attachments. It was only after the prayer room had been built in the 1660s that the southern pores were built, which also run above the prayer room.

Furnishing

Altars

Sacristy with a view of the cafeteria

The "important ... sandstone altar of excellent quality" is a work by master stonemasons Johann Christian Ebhardt and Johann Bernhard Reinboth from the year 1730, who received around 470 Reichstaler for the work. It is 3.80 meters wide, 8 meters high and partly painted. Contrary to the customs of the time, the altar is not designed as a winged altar, although it still shows signs of tripartism. Details of the altar are gilded, with a few parts, such as angel wings, amphorae and halo, depicting wood carvings.

The central main part shows Christ on the cross as a relief, below on the right Magdalena, who holds a cloth in her hand and embraces the cross, and on the left Mary with folded hands looking up at Christ. Around 1900 the relief had a blue background, now the background is yellowish-marbled. The relief surrounds a strongly profiled frame and is crowned by a gold-plated cartridge with the inscription Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus .

The outermost side of the altar consists of a red-marbled pilaster and column combination built over a corner. The white capitals are freely treated and bear gilded angel heads and draperies. In front of the pilasters, on pedestals adorned with Rococo ornaments and flanking the central section, there is the allegory of faith and love. Both female figures in white are shown barefoot and wear wrinkled clothes. The right figure (Faith) holds the Bible in the left hand, on which the words “ Ev. St. Marc. Cap. X. Go there, faith has helped you “are visible, and press a crucifix with your right hand. The figure on the left (love) holds a goblet on the left and a flaming heart in the right hand. Her chest is adorned with a halo with the inscription JESUS. Both figures are partially gilded.

Above the pilasters there is a cranked entablature that ends in the beginnings of a pointed roof. Two trumpet angels sit on it, flaming amphorae stand to the side. Between the beginnings of the pointed roof, the cloudy sky with the risen Christ can be seen in relief. He carries a victory flag in his left hand as a sign of his victory over death. Above it and at the same time as the top end of the altar is a halo with gilded rays and angel heads on the edge.

Another altar is on the north side of the sanctuary under the gallery. The house altar is carved from oak in the late Gothic style.

The cafeteria of an older altar is in the sacristy: In the east of the extension is the simple stone altar table from the 15th century with a wooden crucifix. The cafeteria has a consecration cross at each corner. The single-storey sacristy itself is barrel vaulted and lies in the northeast of the church. It is entered through the choir, two steps below the choir. The sacristy door probably dates from the 16th century and has wrought iron fittings that were installed when the door was renewed in 1685/1686.

pulpit

View of the choir, on the right at the arch the pulpit

The pulpit is on the southeast pillar of the triumphal arch. It consists of sandstone with painted marbling and wooden decorations. The pulpit, which consists of five sides of an octagon, sits on a strong column with a short shaft, a simple base and a Doric capital as well as a triglyphic cornice. Ionic wooden pillars frame the individual parapet areas. The middle panel is closed in a semicircle, showing Christ on the cross and about the inscription I N R I . To the left of the cross is written: Sanguis Jesu Christi filii Dei purgat nos ab omni peccato 1. Joh. 1 v. Chr. 2. The fields on the side carry verses from the Bible.

On the shaft of the column there is the year 1577 and the inscription MB , which possibly refers to the stonemason Martin Beudener .

The inside of the sound cover

The sound cover was created later than the pulpit. It is designed as a regular octagon and is made entirely of wood. The cornice is expansive, above it there are openwork attachments, one of which bears the inscription 1662 in an oval. The other essays have Hebrew inscriptions. The top of the cover is very high. It shows a gold star with an equilateral triangle as a symbol of the Trinity .

Inside the sound cover there is a depiction of a flying pigeon in an eight-sided recess. In the outer frieze the biblical saying encourages “You are not the ones who speak, but it is the spirit of your father who speaks through you. Matth X. V. 20. “the preachers for the proclamation of the word.

On the triumphal arch above the pulpit parapet there is a previously four-fold pulpit clock with a small crucifix; now one of the four hourglasses is missing.

Baptismal font

Baptism from 1840

The church initially had a font from the middle of the 19th century. It was made of cast iron and designed in the classicism style. The round baptismal font stood on a slender foot and was closed with a flat lid. The lid was crowned by a cross.

The baptismal font was finally replaced after 1900 by a polygonal wooden baptism. It was created in neo-renaissance forms and dates from 1840. The brass baptismal font dates from 1920.

organ

Jehmlich organ

Probably the first organ was built in 1651 by the Saxon court organ builder Tobias Weller . The Elector Saxon court organ maker Andreas Tamitius completed the organ in 1679 and also renovated it in 1698/1699. A second organ renovation took place in 1713 by the organ builder Friedrich Lindner . Organist Emanuel Benisch and master carpenter George Bähr took over the subsequent examination of the organ.

A new church organ was created between 1754 and 1762 by organ builder David Schubert , a student of Gottfried Silbermann , with the participation of organist Christian Ebhardt . Cornelius Gurlitt described the Rococo prospectus as “a very stately, beautifully carved work”. It shows shell-like structures and openwork tendrils and is kept in white.

The present organ was created in 1905 by the organ builder Jehmlich and built into the original prospectus from 1760. The work has 29 sounding voices and was cleaned and repaired in 1974 and 1975 by the Institute for Monument Preservation . By partially changing the number of pipes, the organ got a lighter sound that is similar to that of a baroque organ.

Inspired by the 100th anniversary of the organ in 2005, the church council decided to have the original registers from 1905 restored by the organ building company Jehmlich. The project was financed by many parishioners and the Association for the Promotion and Maintenance of Church Music in Leubnitz-Neuostra e. V. On the 2nd Advent 2007 the organ with the original arrangement from 1905 was put back into service by the community.

Bells

The bell of the Leubnitzer Church changed several times. Around 1900 it had three bells. The big bell dates from 1840 and was cast by Friedrich Gruhl . It replaced a previous bell from 1510 and bore its inscription. The middle bell was 80 centimeters high and was cast by Andreas Herold (1623–1696). The smallest bell, 77 centimeters high, was made by Andreas Herold and bore, among other things, the year 1681. The old bells were melted down for war purposes.

The bell of the church Leubnitz-Neuostra today dates from the 20th century. The Dresden foundry Bruno Pietzel manufactured the big bell in 1922; the middle and small bells were cast by Franz Schilling & Sons in Apolda in 1949 and 1927 respectively. The ringing has the basic tones es', g 'and b'.

Peal

The ringing consists of three bronze bells , the bell cage is made of oak and the bell yokes are made of steel. Below is a data overview of the bell:

No. Casting date Caster diameter Dimensions material Chime
1 1922 Bell foundry B. Pietzel bronze 900 mm 800 kg it'
2 1949 Schilling bell foundry bronze 900 mm 600 kg G'
3 1927 Schilling bell foundry bronze 800 mm 300 kg b ′

Epitaphs and monuments

Epitaph Simon Ernst and Gottfried Mais, around 1700

Burials in the interior of the church were reserved for the nobility and high-ranking personalities of the community. A number of epitaphs have been preserved, including various monuments of the Karcher and Allnpeck families .

In the northwest is the baroque sandstone memorial of George, Gottfried and Siegismund Gerlach and their wives. George (father) and Gottfried (son) Gerlach worked as pastors in Leubnitz for several decades in the 17th and 18th centuries. The family memorial is 2.40 meters high and shows a skull in the middle above a cloth hanging. This is followed by the actual structure with a central plate including an inscription and two side writing fields, which may have been added at this height later. Two boys are standing in front of the plate. The one on the left carries a bowl and a ball, the one on the right a torch. Gurlitt suspects that the monument was moved in the 19th century and walled in too deep, which led to structural changes. The family crypt is under the monument.

In the north, to the right of the main entrance, is the sandstone monument of Joachim Allnpeck, who died in 1555, and thus the oldest epitaph of the church. The one meter wide and 1.80 meter high plate bears the Allnpeck coat of arms in the center and an inscription above and below.

Epitaph by Hans Allnpeck the Younger from 1580

Also on the north side, but directly at the altar area, is the monument to Simon Ernst and Gottfried Mais, which was built around 1700. The plate is 84 centimeters high and shows a simple laurel wreath with an inscription in the middle and angel heads, a skull with bones and an hourglass to the side.

In the northeast corner of the church is the monument to Wenzel Allnpeck, who died in 1609. The 1.70 meter high sandstone slab shows the deceased almost life-size in relief. The plate was removed from its original location on the altar in 1879 and placed in its current location.

Karcher epitaph

On the east side, behind the altar, there is a two-part monument of Hans Allnpeck (died 1601) and his wife Margarethe (died 1573). It is 3.50 meters high and just as wide and was created by Andreas Lorentz . Between the columns there are two rectangular, two-part reliefs. In the lower part of the right relief, two women and girls kneeling and praying as well as a man with a full beard and seven other men in the background in front of a crucifix are depicted. In the upper part you can see Christ blessing the children. The left relief is similar, with the upper part showing the resurrection. A top with a pointed roof has been preserved above the right part of the monument. The relief of the essay shows the Last Judgment. The left attachment was removed when a gallery was installed and attached separately to the northwest side of the choir. His relief shows the burial of Christ.

In the southeast corner of the altar is the epitaph of Hans Allnpeck the Younger and his wife from 1580. The sandstone monument is three meters wide and 5.20 meters high and was designed by Samuel Lorentz . On the frieze it bears the coats of arms of the von Karas , von Breitenbauch , von Steige, von Allnpeck, von Starschedel , von Hackeborn , von Grauschwitz and von Haubitz families. Life-size kneeling between the columns below, Hans Allnpeck can be seen on the left and his wife on the right in relief. Both pray, between them there is a crucifix. Inscriptions to the left and right of the figures indicate that the epitaph was made during Allnpeck's lifetime. Above the kneeling figure and the frieze a relief with the raising of Lazarus can be seen. The end of the epitaph is the figure of the risen Christ.

On the south side there are three grave slabs of the Karcher family, which are believed to be the family crypt. Further west, one of the plates is the ornate epitaph probably created by Johann Christian Kirchner or Paul Heermann for Johann Friedrich Karcher (died 1726), his wife Catharina Elisabeth (died 1716) and his daughter Eleonore (died 1730). It shows life-size marble busts of the deceased, with the parents flanking the bust of the child. There are wooden canopies above the parents' busts. The actual substructure of the epitaph consists of sandstone.

graveyard

The cemetery around the church is one of the oldest cemeteries in Dresden and was probably laid out as early as 1288. From the beginning, the area was surrounded by a quarry stone wall, which was higher in the early days of the cemetery and also served as a protective wall. Initially located just south and west of the church, the cemetery was expanded in the 16th century and in 1760 at the time of the Seven Years' War , and after further enlargements, it now covers 23,000 square meters, including after the Second World War. The oldest tombs date from the classicism and Wilhelminian period. There is a parenting hall in the cemetery . It is a simple late classical building from 1853. The hall and cemetery are listed as a whole.

The graves of the following famous people can be found in the cemetery:

Grave of Johann Georg Palitzsch
