history

Dillingen, Maria Trost, entrance area with a bell frame

The influx of emigrants from the eastern regions that began in the post-war period was absorbed in Dillingen by the construction of five four-story apartment blocks on Leipziger Ring. The settlement went hand in hand with a growing need for pastoral care, which was initially to be covered by an emergency church.

After a cheap plot of land adjacent to the apartment blocks was acquired and the diocese approved the construction of a church in 1959, the foundation stone was laid on September 18. The built by architect Konrad Schmitz church was on August 15, 1961 benediziert .

The title "Maria Trost" is a short form of the designation of Mary as "Comforter of the afflicted". The comforter of the afflicted is the German translation of the title “Consolatrix afflictorum”, to which Maria, along with many others , is dedicated in the Lauretanian litany (named after the Italian pilgrimage site Loreto ). The miraculous image of "Consolatrix afflictorum" is in the Cathedral of Our Lady (Luxembourg) revered and there is the center of the octave celebration .

Soon after the construction, the associated kindergarten was built in 1963. In 1966 the town of Dillingen donated the property to the parish. In 1968 the stylistically adapted rectory with a library and youth home in the basement was built. Chaplain Gerd Rupp was given the branch office on Palm Sunday 1963 . On April 1, 1968, the Bishop of Trier, Bernhard Stein, raised Maria Trost to an independent parish.

It was only about thirty years after the Benediction that the church was opened on September 1, 1991 by the Trier auxiliary bishop Dr. Alfred Kleinermeilert consecrated .

Architecture and equipment

inside view

The church building, which was modern for the 1960s, has a free-standing bell tower realized as a steel structure. The bell tower was designed to echo mining towers in the Saarland and houses a three-part bell.

Structural severity and severity determine the architecture of the interior, which is reminiscent of industrial architecture. The church building is an addition of spatial transverse barrels in a rectangular shape with four rectangular side chapels. The side walls are continued in the outer space and thus comprise a forecourt on the entrance side and an altar courtyard on the altar side.

The floor is divided into square fields with matt white tiles and granite, the floor under the benches is covered with wood. The side walls are clad with flat, square pyramid fields made of concrete slabs painted light gray. The ceiling is designed as a folded, wood-clad angular construction. An indirect lighting field is incorporated above the altar area. The skylight arcades are shaped as transverse rectangular glass fields on the entrance and altar sides and trapezoidal glass fields on the side walls. For the choir wall and the side chapels, the painter Ferdinand Selgrad from Spiesen designed concrete glazing in white, blue, red and yellow tones. In 1989/91 a sacrament house made of glass and metal was added. The liturgical furnishings were provided by the artist Hans Rams from Waldbreitbach.

Interior view with a view of the organ

In 1962 the parish was given a positive organ from the diocese on the condition that it should try to find its own instrument in due course. The limited musical possibilities of the organ positive reinforced the desire for a larger organ of their own . The discussion about the purchase of an organ was heated in the parish council and church council. However, when it was seen that the inflation would wipe out the existing funds from donations and the concert series with a long wait, the church council decided on December 10, 1974 with a majority that an organ should be purchased for the Maria Trost church. From more than 10 offers from domestic and foreign organ building companies, the church board decided in favor of the Saarland organ building company Hugo Mayer from Heusweiler . On October 19, 1975, the new organ was given its liturgical purpose in a festive service and thus put into service.

The abrasive loading -instrument has 13 registers , on two manuals and pedal . The playing and stop action is mechanical. The pitch is 440 Hz. The temperature (tuning) is equal. The disposition is as follows:
