history

The church was built between 1888 and 1890 according to plans by the architect Reinhold Wirtz ( Trier ) in the neo-Gothic style . Contractor Johann Weber (Püttlingen) was responsible for the execution. The result was a three-aisled basilica without a transept with a single-tower west facade, a retracted choir , sacristy and altar boy . The first service took place in the church on All Saints' Day in 1890 ; the consecration took place on June 4, 1891.

In 1928 the first renovation was carried out according to plans by the architects Ludwig Becker and Anton Falkowski ( Mainz ). In the years 1931 to 1938, 1942 and 1948/1949 the church was subjected to restorations . For the latter, master builder Braesch (building authority of the municipality of Püttlingen) was in charge of construction.

In 1953/1954, under the direction of the church builders Dominikus and Gottfried Böhm ( Cologne ), extensive renovation and expansion measures were carried out, which resulted in a fundamental change in the church building. By demolishing the choir and its adjoining rooms, a nave trunk was created, to which a rectangular building, illuminated by 44 round windows, was added as a transept with a subsequent straight east apse in neo-Gothic style. The church no longer had the character of a longitudinal building , but took the form of an Antonius cross . The local construction management was taken over by the engineers and parishioners Ludwig Meyer, Engelbert Bläs, Helmut Heisel and Josef Müller, all of whom were volunteers.

In 1967/1968 there was a further expansion and renovation, which was followed from 1978 to 1990 by the restoration and conversion of the chancel by the architect Gottfried Böhm (Cologne). The local construction management was done by the architects Krüger and Rieger (Saarbrücken), who were appointed by Dipl.-Ing. Franz-Josef Warken ( Riegelsberg ) were replaced.

Furnishing

A large number of artists were involved in the design of the church. So the art and decoration painter August Adolf Potthast (recorded Wiesbaden ) in 1897 responsible for the painting of the church in the Gothic style, which in the years 1931-1938 in the course of restoration work, a painting of by the church painter Hermann Richard Humpert ( Morbach / Hunsrück followed).

The terracotta -Figuren the old neo-Gothic church are works of sculptor Alex Schmidt (terracotta factory Merzig by Villeroy & Boch ) from 1894 and consist of a Madonna in the tympanum of the main portal and crossroads - reliefs in the aisles , which again only since the restoration work from 1978 to 1990 are back in their original locations. Other works by Schmidt are eight figures of saints in the central nave of the old church building and on both sides of the entrances to the transverse building erected in the 1950s, the statues of Mary and John on the inner wall of the tower, as well as two figures of the church teachers Ambrosius and Augustine on both sides of the triumphal arch . The figures were restored from 1978 to 1990 by the painter and restorer Nikolaus P. Schmitt ( Perl-Besch ).

Goldsmith and sculptor Klaus Balke (Cologne) created the tabernacle retable in the chancel from 1983 to 1987 , consisting of a steel compartment architecture with 67 terracotta figures, the ambo in the form of an erected sheaf of corn , terracotta Easter candlesticks in the form of a column , twelve Apostle candlesticks with surrounding painting, four bronze sconces on the round pillars of the chancel , as well as the ceiling painting of a cosmic representation of Christ above the altar.

The lecture cross comes from the art workshops of the Maria Laach monastery . The sediles are the work of the sculptor Theo Heiermann ( Cologne ). The drafts of the windows of the nave and the tower windows, which were executed by the company Kaschenbach (Trier), come from glass painter H. Lohbeck . Architect Dominikus Böhm (Cologne) designed the 44 round windows of the transept and the two windows of the east apse , which were made by the Göttker company ( Ensdorf ). The altar and baptismal font come from the Albert Niederer company ( Völklingen ). Glaskunst Binsfeld (Trier) manufactured the two side windows of the third vaulted area. Klaus Apel from the workshop for artistic design (Trier-Kernscheid) created the baptismal font cover and the large metal cross in the east reveal of the main nave in front of the large tower window. The painting of the church comes from the company Arnold Mrziglod ( Tholey ) in the course of the renovation work in 1967/68. The wing monstrance from 1955 to 1960 is a work from a Saarbrücken goldsmith.

The organ of the church was built in 1954 by the French organ builder Haerpfer & Erman ( Boulay ) using some parts of the predecessor organ made by the Klais company ( Bonn ).
