from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Collegiate Church of Our Lady
Old town with minster and St. Stephan

The Notre-Dame Cathedral , and St. Mary or to 2002 Collegiate called, the Catholic town parish church of Lindau . It is on the market square in the eastern part of the island of Lindau .

history

The origins of the minster go back to the year 810. For 1000 years it was the church of the canonical monastery in Lindau .

After the city fire of 1728, today's church was built between 1748 and 1752. The architect is the Baroque master builder Johann Caspar Bagnato , who also designed the palace and church on the island of Mainau and the New Palace in Meersburg . The widowed abbess Therese Wilhelmine von Pollheim-Winkelhausen († 1757) donated all of her assets for this purpose. Your coat of arms is in a central position above the choir arch.

In 1922, the roof and the ceiling of the nave collapsed as a result of a major fire in which the organ, among other things, suffered a total loss.

In 1987, the underside of the nave ceiling fell off a large area from the wooden structure and severely damaged the stalls, organ and other furnishings in the church.

In 2002, the then bishop of Augsburg, Viktor Josef Dammertz , elevated the collegiate church to a minster.

architecture

The collegiate church is an externally rectilinear hall building with a short transept, rectangular choir and a tower with a square floor plan, on which an upper floor with beveled corners and a simple dome is placed. Inside, high two-storey arched openings on the side walls with through connections between the double columns create the impression of a three-aisle structure. The nave has a flat roof, the ceiling of the choir is a flat round vault. The central nave is surrounded by galleries on three sides.

Furnishing

The church is richly adorned with white stucco , colored frescoes and animated carvings in the Rococo style. The ceiling painting of the nave shows the Assumption of the Virgin Mary , the altarpiece of the high altar shows the Adoration of the Magi .

Organs

The cathedral church has two organs : the large organ on the west gallery from 1926 and the Marien organ from 1993, which is located in the northern side gallery. They are tuned differently and cannot be played together.

Nikolaus Schwärzler has been the organist of the monastery / cathedral since 1986, and he also directs the minster's choirs.

As part of the “BR Organ Summer”, Bayerischer Rundfunk has already recorded concerts several times (with Ludger Lohmann and London's Westminster organist Martin Baker) in the Münster and broadcast them.

Great organ

Siel goes back to a two-manual instrument that was built in 1898 by the organ building company Steinmeyer (Oettingen) in the existing rococo brochure from 1755, which was expanded in 1898, with pneumatic cone chests and a total of 30 stops .

Although this instrument was largely destroyed in the great fire of 1922, 18 registers could be inserted into the new instrument, which was built between 1924 and 1926 by the organ builder GF Steinmeyer & Co. (Oettingen) with 60 registers. The damaged prospectus was restored and widened again. Since then there have also been pipes in the extension of the side galleries, so that the organ now extends over the entire inner width of the church. The new Steinmeyer organ was expanded in 1928 by the builder company to include a swellable remote control with eight registers and a tubular bell chime. The remote work is controlled electrically from the first manual (main work). It is located behind and above the high altar, its sound is directed three meters down through a channel and then two meters horizontally to the sound outlet between the two images of the high altar.

In the 1950s, three registers in the Schwellwerk were rearranged.

When the underside of the ceiling of the central nave fell down in 1987, the large organ suffered so much damage that it was considered that it should be built into the still usable register of the damaged organ by a modern work with around 40 stops suitable for music of different styles , to replace. It was decided to repair and rebuild an additional, smaller organ, well suited for baroque music, the Marien organ. Link completed the repairs to the large organ in 1993, during which the changes made in the 1950s were also reversed.
