Liudgerikirche in Hesel

The Evangelical Lutheran Liudgerikirche in Hesel , district of Leer ( East Frisia ), was built in 1742 as a baroque hall church.

history

Nothing is known of the previous buildings. A hall church from the 13th century is assumed, which belonged to the parish Reepsholt in the Archdiocese of Bremen . After the Reformation , the parish first switched to the Reformed, then (after 1585) to the Lutheran creed. The lower part of today's church up to the window approach was built from large bricks in the monastery format from the previous building on the old foundations. The nave was shortened by 1.5 m, widened and raised by 1.5 m. From the lower edge of the arched windows up to the top, more contemporary, smaller bricks were used.

The medieval, free-standing bell tower of the " parallel wall type " was demolished in 1909 due to dilapidation and replaced by a neo-Romanesque west tower. The architect Saran from Hanover also took over the construction management. The tower, which was badly damaged by shell fire in 1945, was restored in 1947/1948 and was initially covered with slate. In 1986 the wooden structure of the tower was renewed and the helmet was again covered with copper.

architecture

The hall church made of red bricks is covered by a gable roof. Four large arched windows on the long sides and two identical windows on the east gable side illuminate the interior. They have rung structure and three four-pass cards each in the arch field.

The retracted west tower on a square floor plan is flanked on the sides by gable-side extensions whose roofs reach the ridge of the nave. The undivided tower has sound openings on all sides for the bells, above which the clock faces of the tower clock are attached. The four triangular gables lead over to the octagonal pointed helmet, which is covered with copper. A tower pommel and a swan as a weather vane crown the pointed helmet. The tympanum above the western main portal shows the blessing Christ with the call of the Savior from Mt 11,28  LUT as inscription.

Furnishing

Interior to the east
Altarpiece

The interior is closed off by a wooden barrel vault . In front of the east wall, the organ gallery and the altar form a unit. The angled gallery protrudes in the area of ​​the organ and, with a few seats on the north side, extends beyond the first window. The area below the gallery is separated and serves as a sacristy .

The block altar was acquired in 1622 and, like the pulpit, comes from the previous building. Master Anthonio Bildschnitzer made the altar, which is raised by one step. The veil reliefs are flanked on the sides by the graceful figures of Peter (with key, inverted cross and book) and Paul (with sword and book). The painter who combined the communion scene with the washing of feet on the large rectangular painting is unknown. Two columns support an architrave , which is marked with the year 1662. It is crowned by a small painting of the suffering Savior (probably from the 19th century). The inscription on the predella refers to the Last Supper: NATE DEO PARITER VERA DE VIRGINE NATE / CUIUS MORS VITA EST, PASSIO CERTA SALUS / O LARGIRE SALUTIFERA QUO CARNE FRUAMUR / ATQUE TUO CUNCTOS SANGUINE IUSTIFICES (Son of God, likewise son of the true virgin , / whose death is life, whose suffering is certain salvation, / o grant that we may enjoy your salvific flesh, / and that through your blood you may speak righteously to all.)

The polygonal pulpit dates from 1654 and is provided with corner columns and carved evangelist representations in round arched fields with fittings. It could come from Tönnies Mahler , who created the very similarly designed pulpit in St. George's Church in Nortmoor . The richly profiled massive sound cover and the staircase were added in the 18th century. The three brass chandeliers date from 1706, 1747 and 1868. A box donated by the married couple Johann Onnen and Trinke Tjabben in 1741 belongs to the liturgical device .

The altar area is covered with slabs of red sandstone. The pews in blue version leaves a center aisle free.

organ

Führer organ in Hesel

Of the organ that Johann Friedrich Wenthin created in 1793, only the side carving may have survived. Folkert Becker and son from Hanover replaced the factory in 1886/1887 with a new building in a neo-Gothic housing . The organ builder Alfred Führer built a new organ from 1961–1962 with 13 stops on two manuals and a pedal behind a neo-baroque prospectus . In 2005 Harm Dieder Kirschner renovated and changed the disposition . He replaced the Scharff in the brisket with a sesquialtera and the Rauschpfeife in the pedal with a Gedackt 8 '.
