Assumption of Mary (Steinbrück)
Assumption of Mary is the Roman Catholic Church in the village of Steinbrück in the municipality of Söhlde in the Hildesheim district .
history
To protect against incursions into the Diocese of Hildesheim and to secure the diocese border, Bishop Gerhard had the Steinbrück moated castle built on the border with the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg in 1367 . The occasion was the Battle of Dinklar in the feud between Duke Magnus II of Braunschweig and his allies with the Hildesheim Bishop Gerhard. The castle Steinbrück is later mentioned in a document from the year 1383 to 16 years. The village of Klein Eggelsen , located northeast of the castle, soon became a desert , and its workers were made available in the castle's farm yard. The village of Steinbrück developed from the episcopal castle, which got its name from the stone bridge over the Fuhse . In the 14th century the fortress was pledged to the cathedral chapter . After Bishop Magnus' attempt to found a city in Steinbrück in 1425 failed, the Steinbrück Office, which existed until the 19th century, was established instead. The office separated the nine villages of the Gogericht Eggelsen Himstedt , Hoheneggelsen -leinegelsen, Groß- and Klein Himstedt , Mölme , Söhlde, Garbolzum , Feldbergen and Bettrum from the office Peine . In the 15th century the cathedral chapter pledged the official residence to the knights of Saldern . After the cathedral chapter redeemed the pledge , a feud broke out with the von Saldern family . As a result, Steinbrück Castle came back into the ownership of the chapter. Another change in ownership occurred in 1521 when Duke Heinrich the Younger occupied the fortress.
The construction of a chapel within the fortified building complex was connected with the construction of Steinbrück Castle by Bishop Gerhard. The patronage was probably linked to the ownership of the castle. In 1521 the right of patronage probably passed to Heinrich the Younger. The community included the residents of the Steinbrück fortress in the archdeaconate Nettlingen .
In 1542, during the Schmalkaldic War , Duke Heinrich the Younger was expelled from Steinbrück. Immediately after the conquest, the Steinbrück office was reformed by the commission of evangelical allies . The Duke's attempt to restore the Catholic faith was unsuccessful even after the reconquest in 1547. In contrast to Duke Heinrich the Younger, his son Julius II was a staunch Lutheran who introduced the Protestant service in the chapel, which the pastors from Hoheneggelsen and later from Söhlde took over. Only the victory of the Catholic military leader Tilly over the Danish troops in 1626 made it possible to hand over the Steinbrück Castle to the cathedral chapter, which immediately commissioned the Jesuit order with the recatholization of the Protestant villages in office. However, these were driven out by the Swedish army in the period from 1632 to 1633 .
After the restitution in 1643, the Catholic cult was introduced in the castle chapel and was thus the starting point for the Catholic reform movement in the surrounding villages. In 1652 the cathedral chapter designated the chapel, whose patronage of the Virgin is likely, to be the church. From 1652 on, Catholic church registers were kept in Steinbrück . In a document dated February 1, 1653, the parish was elevated to a parish by Prince-Bishop Maximilian Heinrich . Two years after the survey, the Jesuit order was relieved of its duties in Steinbrück and a pastor was sent to the castle instead. Since the small Marienkapelle no longer met the requirements as a parish church, it was decided in 1692 to rebuild the church. As a temporary solution, a room in the castle was equipped for the church service, which Drost Georg von Hoerde furnished with three altars. The foundation stone for the new church was laid on June 21, 1786. The consecration under the patronage of the Assumption of Mary and Saint Laurentius took place on July 11, 1790 by Auxiliary Bishop Karl Friedrich von Wendt . The cathedral chapter made use of the church's patronage right beyond the secularization of the Hildesheim diocese until 1810.
With the circle order of the Diocese of Hildesheim, the parish came into the Pein circle in 1760. When the diocese was given a new structure in 1838 through its deanery division , Steinbrück remained in the Peine office. A hundred years later the parish was transferred to the Dinklar deanery. When the deaneries Borsum and Dinklar were merged in 1978, it was integrated into this.
In 1972 the church was renovated and on December 17, 1972, the ambo and the altar were consecrated by Bishop Heinrich Maria Janssen . In 1981 the organ was restored by the organ builder G. Christian Lobback , and from 1989 to 1991 another renovation of the church followed.
On September 1, 2008, the parishes of St. Bernward in Groß Ilsede , St. Laurentius in Hohenhameln , St. Marien in Lengede and Mariä Himmelfahrt in Steinbrück merged. They form the new parish of St. Bernward in Ilsede in the Braunschweig deanery of the Hildesheim diocese. The Assumption of Mary is a branch church of St. Bernward and today, after St. Peter and Paul (Heiningen) and the Aegidienkirche (Braunschweig), it is the third oldest church in the Braunschweig deanery.
Architecture and equipment
The east-facing church is located on Kreisstraße 214 near the exit to Söhlde, around 75 meters above sea level . It was built from 1786 to 1790 in the baroque style. The high altar dates from 1790, his painting shows the Assumption of Mary . Above it is the coat of arms of Franz Wilhelm von Schorlemmer, a great benefactor of the church, and a statue of the blessing Christ . Above the two altar columns, further statues show Saints Joseph (left) and Johannes Nepomuk (right). Next to the altar are large statues of the holy bishops Bernward and Godehard . In today's celebration altar from 1972 an altar stone from 1686 from the former castle chapel is inserted. It contains relics of the holy martyrs Siplicius, Valentinus and Veneranda. The ambo and the celebratory altar were made from marble by the natural stone company Kernbach from Nordstemmen according to a design by Hanns Joachim Klug . The font was given its present form in the 1960s. The interior also includes a Madonna and Child , in front of which sacrificial candles can be placed. It was created around 1973 by Vincenzo Demetz Figlio from Ortisei in Val Gardena based on a model made by the sculptor Walter Bacher from Brixen , who died in 1960 . The pictures of the Stations of the Cross printed on canvas date from 1863. The organ with 17 stops on two manuals and pedal was built in 1841 by Balthasar Conrad Euler .
