The parish church St. Maria Königin is a listed Catholic parish church in Dudeldorf in the Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate .
history
The parish church is located near the old brewery and the dudeldorf castle . The church was renovated and rebuilt in the late Gothic style in 1909 by the architect Heinrich Renard. The church tower, which dates from the Middle Ages, is built rectangular. It used to be used as a choir tower and was set up for defense purposes at that time. Today he wears a pyramid roof. The church is deliberately designed asymmetrically. It is clad with different materials (plastered wall surfaces as limestone masonry, corner blocks, window frames with images of saints and cornices in red sandstone) and should look picturesque from the inside, which emphasizes the style from 1900. The ribbed vault, which is supported by hexagonal pillars, spans most of the nave. The aisles are designed differently: the one on the left is shorter because of the church tower. The choir is five-sided. Confessionals and pulpit date from the 18th century. A late Gothic sandstone figure from the first half of the 14th century is located on the outside to the right of the main entrance. It represents John the Baptist with a lamb and a book.
In 1917, in the middle of the First World War , the bells of the parish church in Dudeldorf were dismantled in order to manufacture war weapons. One of these bells was from 1619. It weighed 11 quintals. It was cast from fine metal and bore the inscription: "My name is Maria, I invite the service of God, I disperse the Dunnre, Jan von Trier poured me." The other bell weighed 17 quintals and was cast in 1854.
From 1924 to 1925 Rollmann's church (first name unknown) was still painted in neo-Gothic forms. This high-quality version - plant motifs in the vaults, stylized tendrils on the lower half of the walls, carpet patterns in the choir - was exposed again during the last restoration in 1989.
The neo-baroque high altar from 1926 uses a late baroque tabernacle from 1747. The two other side altars were designed using the altars from the previous building in 1938 and after 1950 in their current form. They both have a Pietà or a crucifixion group. Today's main altar is decorated with a depiction of the Last Supper. Like the glazing, the Way of the Cross and the baptismal font, it comes from the time the church was built.
During a devotion in the years of the Third Reich, the pastor at the time, Josef Biwer, who held the mass, expelled SA members of the Nazi district leadership Dudeldorf from the church.
