The Sommerfeld Church is a church building of the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Saxony in Sommerfeld , belonging to Engelsdorf since 1923 , and since Engelsdorf's incorporation in 1999 in the district of the same name in Leipzig on the eastern outskirts.

development

The church in Sommerfeld was originally a branch church of the Panitzsch church .

In 1859 - after the previous Romanesque choir tower church had been torn down - a neo-Gothic church building was built according to plans by the architect Johann Ernst Wilhelm Zocher . Beucha granite ( quartz porphyry ) was built into Cyclops masonry . The initially simple church was renovated and artistically designed around the turn of the century by the Leipzig architect Julius Zeißig and the painter Richard Schulz.

During the bombing raid on Leipzig on October 20, 1943, the Sommerfeld church was also badly hit and burned out. A new roof structure was built on the preserved surrounding wall under the direction of the Sommerfeld architect Karl Baum; the tower received an emergency roof. With financial support from the Lutheran World Federation and money and material donations from the villagers, it was rebuilt from 1952 onwards. The side galleries were dispensed with - instead, the church was given a wide gallery on the west side , on which the organ was located. The rededication with Bishop Gottfried Noth was on October 4th, 1953. In 1994 the facade was renovated and a new, higher spire was added.

In 2008 the anniversary "150 years of the Sommerfeld Church" was celebrated in many ways. For example, with the exhibition “150 Years of the Church in Sommerfeld”, the eventful history of the church was shown on twelve large banners.

organ

The organ was built by Urban Kreutzbach (1796–1868) from Borna in 1861 for 1,598 thalers . This organ was completely destroyed in the bombing raid on October 20, 1943.

The parish of Sommerfeld received an organ in 1957 that Urban Kreutzbach had created in 1861 for St. Kilian's Church in Bad Lausick . The move was carried out by the Lahmann company from Leipzig; However, for reasons of space, five registers had to be dispensed with during installation.

In 1989 the organ builders Rietzsch and Balzer of the building department of the church district Rochlitz / Wurzen carried out a general repair. For this purpose 100 pipes from the old Zwenkau Urban-Kreutzbach organ were installed. The total cost at that time was 14,279.91 GDR marks.

The organ with 25 (11-8-6) registers , two manuals and pedal currently (as of 2018) has the following disposition :
