Lippoldshausen is an eastern part of the city of Hann. Münden in the district of Göttingen , Lower Saxony ( Germany ).

The wooded surroundings of the village in the border area between shell limestone and red sandstone are the location of rare plants. The local coat of arms is therefore adorned with a flower of the lady's slipper.

history

Settlement of Lippoldshausen is assumed as early as the early Middle Ages, because at that time the Lippoldsburg castle to the west was an early medieval refuge for the local population. The tower of the village church, which was built around 1200 as a fortification, later served defense purposes. In 1263 Lippoldshausen was first mentioned as Lupoldishusen when land was bequeathed to the Pöhlde Monastery . By 1311 at the latest there was a church building. Also from this year comes the reference that the community bought the large and small tithe in and in front of the villa Lippoldshusen , which belonged to St. Martin's Church in Heiligenstadt , for 23 silver marks.

church

Exterior of the church

The village church of Lippoldshausen is now part of the Münden parish of the Evangelical Lutheran regional church of Hanover . The oldest component is the defensive tower built around 1200 with a vaulted ground floor. Numerous late Gothic frescoes from 1444 have been preserved on the walls, the passage and window reveals and the groin vault . They were discovered during renovations in 1911 and depict biblical scenes and Christian saints: under the vault there is a medallion with the Agnus Dei in the middle . Around it, medallions with the evangelist symbols are painted in the crowns of the vault , whereby the symbol of the evangelist Luke was destroyed in the baroque period by the installation of a staircase to the pulpit. On the north wall and the soffits of the archway to the nave, the passion story of Jesus is shown in several individual representations. Other depictions show the Last Judgment , the beheading of John the Baptist, the Trinity, an expulsion of demons and various apostles and saints. The spaces in between are provided with ornamental tendrils and different colored stars.

A rectangular church hall was added to the tower in 1752/53. On the wall to the tower is a late baroque pulpit altar wall with sculptures of Peter and Moses. The organ was built in 1796 by Stephan Heeren from Gottsbüren.
