history

In the 11th century Wasenweiler was owned by the Alsatian monastery of Murbach . From there it came to the coming of the Teutonic Order in Freiburg im Breisgau in several steps from 1290 to 1371 . The German rulers owned a moated castle at the northeast end of the village, in which a chapel was consecrated in 1446 to the Virgin Mary and Saints Barbara of Nicomedia , Catherine of Alexandria , Georg and Wilhelm von Malavalle . The parish church of Wasenweiler and Ihringen was originally today's St. Vitus cemetery chapel , located halfway between the two villages. In 1275 Wasenweiler was named as the seat of a deanery .

The Teutonic Order also had rights in Ihringen, but the local rule passed through the Margraves of Hachberg to the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach . While Wasenweiler remained Catholic, Ihringen and Baden-Durlach became Protestant in 1556 . The Evangelical Ihringer Church was built between 1874 and 1877.

The first larger - baroque - predecessor building was erected in the 2nd decade of the 18th century. Around 1763 it had to be renovated by the Freiburg architect Johann Baptist Häring . At the beginning of the 19th century, the church and rectory were again endangered by earth movements on the mountainside. The Karlsruhe builder Friedrich Arnold , who made a sketch of the old church, initially thought of a restoration, but further damage made a new building inevitable. It was carried out from 1822 to 1823 according to plans by Friedrich's brother Christoph , district architect in Freiburg.

The organ was initially located on a gallery in the choir behind the altar and was moved to the southwest gallery around fifty years later. After the Second World War, the gallery in the choir was dismantled. The choir windows were walled up, the choir was painted with many figures. In the 1970s, the painting was removed and the pulpit from the Arnold building dismantled. In the 1980s, the interior was redesigned by the Breisach artist Helmut Lutz . The last exterior renovation was completed in 2007.

Inner direction of the choir

The hall church with the retracted choir closing on three sides of the octagon extends from southwest to northeast and is located with the newer rectory, the town hall and the school at the highest point in the village. In the south-western facade, a high, flat arched niche surrounds the portal and a ribbon of windows above it. The niche is interrupted by a wooden console cornice that continues on the sides of the nave. The four arched windows on each side sit in niches that extend down to the base. The sacristy adjoins the choir to the south . A roof turret crowns the building near the facade. The hall has a flat roof. Four columns support a gallery on the entrance side. Four corresponding pillars on the gallery support the roof turret. A round triumphal arch leads into the choir .

Furnishing

The choir is determined by the coexistence of five baroque figures and modern surroundings. The crucifixion group in a structure on the back wall of the choir is made by Franz and Franz Xaver Anton Hauser (1712–1772). The empty frames to the side of Maria and Johannes were intended for bas-reliefs by Helmut Lutz. Folk altar and ambo are works by Lutz, as are the bases of the figures of St. Vitus and Urban I. , which Hermann Brommer attributed to Fidelis Sporer . Vitus chose the baroque clients because of the patronage of the older Wasenweiler church, Urban as the patron saint of the winemakers. On the right at the entrance to the choir is the font from 1874, which had to give way to the older Arnold furniture.

  • Left side altar

  • Right side altar

The two side altars were acquired from the inventory of the former Capuchin monastery in Freiburg im Breisgau in 1823 and restored around 1984. They are carved from linden wood and beautifully inlaid . The main painting on the left altar shows the mystical betrothal of St. Catherine of Alexandria . The baby Jesus puts a ring on the ring finger of the left hand of the saint. The upper picture shows a preaching Franciscan . The main painting on the right altar shows a vision of Christ by Saint Anthony of Padua . In the upper picture, Jesus gives the Eucharist to a Franciscan .

Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the cross

On the left wall of the nave is a - after Joseph Sauer late Gothic - Madonna and Child. The Way of the Cross from 1874 is one of many for a model of the Czech-Austrian Nazarene Joseph von Führich designed Führich cross paths . The author of the church leader from 2014 Hans-Otto Mühleisen (* 1941) particularly points out the fifth station of the Cross, Simon of Cyrene helping Jesus carry the cross ( Mt 27.32  EU ). The Wasenweiler picture is very similar to the picture in Führich-Kreuzwege, for example in the Vienna Church of St. Johann Nepomuk. Here as there, Simon carries a vine knife .

Inside towards the entrance with organ stage

The organ was built in 1825 by the Herbolzheim organ builder Blasius Schaxel (1765–1843) as a slider chest instrument with 13 registers on a manual and pedal. The instrument was initially on a gallery in the choir room, behind the altar, but was set up by the organ builder Wilhelm Schwarz with a new console on the west gallery from 1877 to 1878. In 1989 the instrument was restored and reconstructed to its original state; The original play area on the side as well as the chip bellows, which can be operated either by an electric fan or by hand, have also been reconstructed.
