Building history

Previous construction

On the edge of Frankenstrasse , an important east-west connection, there was a chapel dedicated to Mary , the Mother of God , as early as the 12th century . The Goldbacher chronicler Martin Teich reported that there were three bells in her tower. On the south side it had a late Gothic portal, which was supposed to commemorate Bishop Nikolaus I of Meissen . The chapel was demolished in 1559 and replaced by a baroque hall church . In the same year the Reformation was introduced in Goldbach .

Today's construction

In its current form, the building appears as a hall from the middle of the 18th century, the church consecration took place in 1778. The building is made of quarry stone, which was plastered and provided with painted pilaster strips and ashlar . The west tower rises on a square floor plan, which has an octagonal bell storey and above it a hood and lantern. The tower clock was renewed in 1898. The stained glass windows in the choir, stairwells and the sacristy date from 1909. A single-storey wooden gallery runs around the flat-roofed nave , the organ is on the west side.

organ

The first known organ was from 1601. In 1756 the organ builders Zacharias and Johann Gottfried Hildebrandt created the second organ in the Rococo style . It had a manual, 18 stops and a mechanical action .

In 1883, 13 of the 18 registers were exchanged to give the organ a romantic sound.

Today's organ was built in 1908 by the Bautzen organ builder Hermann Eule (Op. 116), whereby Eule took over the five baroque registers that had been preserved after the renovation in 1883. The organ still has 18 stops, now divided between two manuals and a pedal . The action was switched to pneumatics and the organ received two side cases and couplers . The organ underwent a fundamental renovation in 2008 by the still existing organ building company Eule. The following historical pipe material is still preserved: Gedackt 8 ′ (35 pipes), Quinta 3 ′ (46 pipes), Octava 2 ′ (46 pipes), Principal 4 ′ (5 pipes), Reed flute 4 ′ (11 pipes), Principal bass 8 ′ (24 pipes).

Furniture

In the chancel there is a pulpit altar from the 18th century with a tulip-shaped pulpit and lateral cheek decoration. The font is made of granite and shows the shape of a chalice.

A special feature is the statue of the Madonna, carved around 1440. She is about 99 cm high and holds the baby Jesus playing with an apple in her arms. This statue came into the possession of the Bautzner Stadtmuseum at the end of the 19th century, later the Goldbach cantor had it restored and returned to the church in 1908. In 2000 the picture was again thoroughly restored.
