Monastery Church (Blomberg)

Monastery church from the south

The former monastery church to the Holy corpse in the city Lippe Blomberg is the parish church of the Evangelical Reformed congregation Blomberg in the class Blomberg of Lippe Church .

It was built in the second half of the 15th century and later used as the church of an Augustinian monastery , which was closed in 1569. The late Gothic hall church is considered to be the "most important late medieval church building in Lippe ".

history

The Lippe sovereign Bernhard VII (1429-1511) decided in 1462 to build a church on the site of a supposedly miraculous fountain in Blomberg. In 1468 he called Augustinian canons from the Möllenbeck monastery to Blomberg, who founded the monastery "Zum Heiligen Leichnam" there. The church was completed around 1485.

Bernhard VII had a crypt built under the western part of the church for the noble house of Lippe . His wife Anna von Holstein-Schauenburg was the first to be buried there in 1495. The crypt was expanded in 1586 and 1622, and the last burial took place in 1769.

The monastery was dissolved in the course of the Reformation , and finally in 1569. Count Johann Bernhard donated the monastery church and the surrounding area to the city of Blomberg in 1651. The evangelical-reformed parish now had a second church in addition to the neighboring Martini church. Since the Martini church was torn down down to the tower in 1833, the former monastery church has been the only parish church.

architecture

Blomberg Monastery Church, south side

The monastery church is a three-aisled , three-bay hall church with a square floor plan and a single- bay east choir with a 5/8 end . A two-storey sacristy was added to the choir around 1500 .

The side aisles are covered by cross gable roofs with half-timbered gables . The north and west sides are windowless, the Gothic pointed arch windows on the south side have tracery with fish-bubble ornaments of various designs. The ogival main portal is located on the south side of the Mitteljoch .

As is customary with Augustinian church buildings, the monastery church never had a tower. The bells used to be in a bay window on the western transverse gable on the south side. Today the tower that remained from the demolished Martini church is used as a bell tower by the parish.

Furnishing

Interior of the Blomberg monastery church

The late Gothic double tomb for Bernhard VII and Anna zur Lippe, which was erected in the choir between 1511 and 1515 , is attributed to Heinrich Brabender . Life-size figures of the couple lie on the cover plate.

organ

The organ of the monastery church was built in 1839 by Georg Carl Kuhlmann (Gottsbüren) and rebuilt in 1930 by Anton Feith (Paderborn). The instrument has 31 registers on two manuals and a pedal (pneumatic cone chests with register chambers). 1980–1981 the instrument was overhauled and equipped with electronic action .
