The Evangelical Lutheran market church St. Georgii et Jacobi is the oldest of the three parish churches in the old town of Hanover (the other two are Aegidienkirche and Kreuzkirche ). The hall church with its 97 meter high tower is one of the landmarks of Hanover. The Marktkirche is the sermon church of the regional bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover and the city superintendent of the city ​​church association of Hanover . It is the church of the council of the city of Hanover and the Lower Saxony state parliament .

The foundations of a previous Romanesque building , which was built around 1125 in the same place and was first mentioned in 1238 under the name of St. Georgii, were discovered during excavations in 1952. The first colored glazed windows were completed as early as 1340; The name ecclesia Sanctorum Jacobi et Georgii dates from 1342 . James , the patron saint of pilgrims and merchants (Spanish: Santiago), who was very popular in the Middle Ages, and Saint George , one of the 14 helpers and known as the legendary dragon slayer, are the namesake of the church. A call for donations to the citizens for the construction of the church has been handed down from 1344, and in 1347 the foundation of the tower began. Two years later permission was given to demolish the old church building (around which the new church was built). Around 1360 is considered the year of church consecration , and in 1368 the construction of the church tower was finally interrupted due to times of need and plague and the resulting lack of money. Originally planned to be steeper, the spire now has a roof turret in the form of a scaled-down image of the tower itself. The date of 1388 for the erection of the roof structure was confirmed dendrochronologically (felling dates 1385-1388).

After the 14th century, a small extension (which has now disappeared) was built on the north side of the church, which was used as a " Gerkamer " or sacristy . Adjacent to this to the west was the larger and somewhat younger former St. Anne's Chapel , also known as the Soden Chapel , in 1510 .

Between 1852 and 1855 the interior of the church was restored, repainted and furnished under the direction of Ludwig Droste , whereby the Duve altar disappeared without a trace. In two air raids on Hanover during the Second World War , the church was destroyed in July and October 1943 except for the outer walls and the columns. Most of the roof structure was retained, however. The reconstruction took place in 1946–1952 by Huta Hoch- und Tiefbau according to plans by the architect Dieter Oesterlen , whereby the brick inside was completely exposed.

description

Dimensions, material and shape

The market church on an emergency bill from 1921, designed by Emil-Werner Baule
  • Length of the church (including tower): 61.50 m
  • Overall width: 26.60 m
  • Eaves height: 19 m
  • Height of the tower: 97.26 m (with weathercock exactly 98 m)
  • Width of the central nave: 8 m, the side aisles 5.40 each.

The material is predominantly red brick. The base, cornices, west portal and wall corners of the tower are made of sandstone. The three-aisled hall with a length of five bays is closed in the much larger main choir with a 7/10 polygon, in the side apsides with a 5/10 polygon. The Wiesenkirche in Soest is named as a model for this , and the mighty west tower also follows the tradition of Westphalian models, while for the nave with its round pillars surrounded by service bundles, reference is made to St. Johannis in Lüneburg .
The Marktkirche is the southernmost example of the large North German brick Gothic buildings.

High altar

The high altar of the market church

The retable of the high altar was originally a double-winged altar . The altar, created around 1480, was moved to the Aegidienkirche in 1663 when the baroque altar ( donated by Johann Duve ) was installed . From there it came to the Welfenmuseum during the renovation of the Aegidienkirche in 1856, so it remained undestroyed during the war (except for the outer wing) and has been in the Marktkirche again since 1952.

With the wings open, the Passion of Jesus can be viewed in 21 scenes carved from linden wood, based on graphic models from Martin Schongauer . At the lower edge there are medallions of the heads of the prophets, the archfather Jakob with glasses (fourth from the left) stands out as a “cultural-historical curiosity” (U. Müller) . The outer sides of the painted inner wings (the outer wings are completely destroyed) show scenes from the life and martyrdom of the two church patrons Jakobus and Georg.

Others

Nave
  • The two brass baptismal fonts in the side choirs were probably made around 1500 in Hildesheim . The one resting on five lions in the right (southern) choir comes from the Aegidienkirche, which was destroyed in 1943.
  • The colored glazing in the three eastern windows of the main choir is particularly attractive. Of the 30 panes in the middle choir window, 20 with their martyr scenes date back to the 14th century (around 1370) and are among the most important in northern Germany. Others are moved here from different windows or come from the restorations of the 19th and 20th centuries. Two windows were created by the Alexander Linnemann and Otto Linnemann studio from Frankfurt.
  • In 1624 the button and weathercock on the church tower were so damaged by wind and weather that they had to be replaced. In 1702 the top of the tower was covered with copper and a new cock was put on, but it fell down again the following year. Only in 1705 was a new tap put on again.
  • During the reconstruction, the Bödeker Hall, the community hall, was created in the basement, which was named after Senior Hermann Wilhelm Bödeker , Market Church Pastor 1825–1875. The foundations of the church can also be seen here, which, as was discovered during the reconstruction, extend more than three meters in depth.

Organs

The first references to an organ in the market church can be found in sources for the year 1403; the instrument must have been on the side of the St. Anne's Chapel in the north aisle. The first organ on the west gallery of the Marktkirche was built in the years 1589–1594, started by the organ builders Henning Henke and Severin Krosche from Hildesheim, completed by the organ builder Andreas de Mare . Over the years this instrument has been expanded and rebuilt several times. a. by the organ builders Conrad Abt (Minden), Adolph Compenius and Friedrich Besser (Braunschweig). In 1733 the instrument was extensively repaired and enlarged by the court organ builder Christian Vater (Hanover).

The market church was rebuilt between 1852 and 1855; An intermediate vault with a new gallery was inserted in the tower hall. The organ builder Eduard Meyer (Hanover) installed a new instrument in a neo-Gothic case on this gallery. In the instrument, which had 46 registers, pipe substance from the previous instrument was reused. In 1893 the organ was rebuilt and expanded by the organ building company Furtwängler & Hammer, and in 1940/41 it was rebuilt in line with the organ movement. This instrument was largely destroyed during the Second World War and disposed of when the church was rebuilt in 1946.

Main organ

Today's large organ is on the back wall of the south aisle of the market church. It goes back to an instrument that was built in the years 1953–1954 by the organ builders Emil Hammer Orgelbau (Hanover) and Rudolf von Beckerath Orgelbau (Hamburg) with 61 stops on four manuals and pedal. The organ prospect designed by Dieter Oesterlen with its curved lines in the kidney-shaped design is a listed building. The first problems with the technical condition became apparent shortly after the inauguration; the instrument proved to be fragile and in need of repair, so that the first plans for a thorough overhaul began as early as the 1960s. In the 1970s the instrument was rebuilt by the organ building company Rensch (Lauffen / Neckar) ; Changes were not only made in the technical area, but the disposition was changed in the French-symphonic sense. In spite of this, the condition of the instrument continued to deteriorate, so that at the end of the 1990s planning began for the renovation and new construction.

In the years 2007 to 2009 the instrument was rebuilt technically and sonically by Orgelbau Goll (Lucerne) in the Oesterlen Prospect and reusing around 50% of the pipe material. Today it has 64 registers, including 39 registers, some or all of which are made from the pipe material of the previous organ. The playing actions are mechanical. The instrument has a double (mechanical and electrical) stop action .

In 2008 the so-called choir ensemble organ was inaugurated on the tower gallery, built by Eule Orgelbau Bautzen . The organ has 15 stops (including two transmissions) on two manual works and a pedal, and is based on French choir organs from the 19th century. The instrument has mechanical key actions and electric stop action.

Italian organ

Italian organ

The so-called Italian organ has been in the Marktkirche since 2003, an instrument that was created in 1780 by the organ builder Fabrizio Cimino and was installed in the Marktkirche in Hanover in 2003. In 2007 the instrument was restored by the organ builder Jörg Bente (Helsinghausen) and the art restorer Paul-Uwe Dietzsch (Worpswede). The organ has 7 registers on a manual work (C DEFGA -c 3 : Principale 8 ', Ottava 4', Decimaquinta 2 ', Decimanona 1 13 ', Vigesima seconda 1 ', Voce umana, Flauto a Duodecima 2 23 ' ). The pedal (C DEFGABH ) is attached. The instrument is tuned to a medium tone at 440 Hz. The wind is supplied via two wedge bellows, which are housed in the lower housing and can be operated by means of an electric fan as well as manually.

Bells

The chime of the market church is the third largest in Lower Saxony after the chimes of the Hildesheim Cathedral and the Brunswick Cathedral and consists of eleven church bells . The large Christ and Peace Bell itself is the largest bell in Lower Saxony and only rings on festive days and on special occasions.

The Great David was originally donated by Pastor David Meyer for the Kreuzkirche and did not come to the Marktkirche until after the Second World War. The George Bell and the larger quarter-hour bell originally belonged to the Kreuzkirche. The detailed ringing order assigns different bell combinations (motifs) to each church season and the individual feast days. There are also three clock- striking bells in the tower lantern.

Exterior

  • Signs are attached to three gable triangles of the tower: on the east side an inverted pentagram (Drudenfuß), on the north and south side a hexagram (David shield).
  • The bronze portal of the west entrance (today's main entrance) was created by Gerhard Marcks in 1959 . Under the motto discordia et concordia (discord and harmony), it shows basic human situations under the two-stem tree of life, whereby the sculptor did not omit Germany's immediate past, as can be seen in the scenes with gallows and tanks, a Nazi speaker, mountains of corpses and burning houses. The risen Christ appears above everything in the upper field. The portal is a foundation of the city of Hanover for the 600th anniversary of the Marktkirche.
  • The sculptures of the patron saint of the market church can be seen on the corners above the west portal: on the left Saint George , the dragon slayer, and on the right Saint James with the pilgrim's staff , both creations by the Braunschweig sculptor Jürgen Weber (1992). Of the sculptures of the two saints that used to stand there, James was destroyed in the war and George was placed in the left (north) choir.
  • On the outside of the former south portal, two sundials can be seen: at the top right one from 1555, on the left on the pillar the so-called canonial clock with prayer times, which probably dates from the time the church was built. This sundial is likely to be the oldest clock in Hanover.
  • The two sculptures on the sides of the church tower were made by the Hanoverian sculptor Carl Dopmeyer and represent Hermann Wilhelm Bödeker on the north side and Martin Luther on the south side .
  • The epitaphs and grave slabs (inside and outside) mostly come from the 16th and 17th centuries. Century. In the market church are u. a. Antonius Corvinus († 1533), the reformer of Lower Saxony, and the equestrian general Hans Michael Elias von Obentraut (died in 1625 near Seelze) who was fighting on the Danish side , who was previously regarded as the historical archetype of the German Michel .
  • In addition, tombstones and epitaphs of mayors and dignitaries of the city of Hanover can still be found today. Examples are Hans Blome the Elder. J. and Franz von Wintheim . These were buried in the market church. Later, tombstones and epitaphs within the church were moved to other walls, both indoors and outdoors. The epitaph of Franz von Wintheim used to be in the Nikolaikapelle and was only moved to the Marktkirche after the Second World War.

Surroundings

On June 26th, 1533, the historic event that can be described as the beginning of the Reformation in Hanover took place on the market square , between the Marktkirche and the Old Town Hall : the oath of the assembled citizens under their “word holder” Dietrich Arnsborg . This scene was captured by Ferdinand Hodler in his mural Unanimity (1913) in the Hodler Hall of the New Town Hall of Hanover.

The Hanover Christmas market has been held in the historic old town center around the Marktkirche since around 1850 . Because of its atmospheric ambience in streets with half-timbered houses , it is a tourist attraction with around 120 stands. In 2007 it had around 1.5 million visitors.

A few steps away from the west portal in the direction of Kramerstraße and Bonehauerstraße there is a cross in the pavement . From this point of view there is a four-church view of the towers of the Marktkirche, the Aegidienkirche, the Kreuzkirche and the Neustädter Church. This place was already considered one of the seven landmarks of the city of Hanover 300 years ago that the wandering craftspeople had to know.

legend

Christmas market in Hanover at the Marktkirche

According to a legend, a choirboy survived the fall from the church tower of the market church. He had climbed the tower with another choirboy to visit the tower guard . On the tower they discovered a jackdaw nest with five eggs that they wanted to plunder . For this they used a board that one boy held while the other tried to reach the nest via the board. While they were still climbing, a violent argument broke out among the boys about the division of the eggs, in the course of which the boy fell down on the board with the eggs. In the fall, however, the choirboy's wide cloak opened and slowed the fall so that the boy survived the fall. The statue of a choirboy at the market church next to the Martin Luther monument commemorates this incident.

Patronage

The city of Hanover has exercised patronage over the Marktkirche since 1574 . From January 2014 to 2019 the former mayor Stefan Schostok held the office of patron, which means that he was a member of the board of the parish and was able to participate in the filling of the parish positions. The municipal department head Beckedorf has been the patronage representative since February 2020.

Personalities

Clergy

The church became Lutheran with the church ordinance issued in 1536. The important clergy of the Marktkirche include:

The Marktkirche has been the preaching church of the incumbent regional bishop since 1925 (2011: Ralf Meister ). The city ​​superintendent of the City Church Association of Hanover is the owner of the first parish office.
