Martinskirche (Langenau)
The Protestant Martinskirche in Langenau , a city in the Alb-Donau district and in the Protestant church district of Ulm , is the tallest building in the town and the city's landmark . The tower is 63 meters high and can be seen from afar.
history
The entire church stands on the remains of a Roman temple, from whose time some excavation finds, especially gravestones, have been preserved. A first church is likely to have stood on the current site as early as the 8th century. Today's Martinskirche was built in several stages: in 1441 the large choir in the Gothic style was completed. The tower was built in 1490 as a protective and watchtower for the city. The interior was redesigned in the Baroque style in the years 1668–1669 by the Ulm builders Leonhart and Martin Buchmüller and renovated in 1897–1906.
inner space
The central nave was raised during the major redesign of the church in 1669 and provided with upper aisles in the baroque shape of ox eyes for more brightness in the church. It is flanked by two slightly lower aisles, which were equipped with galleries in 1669 when the nave was converted into a sermon church in the shape of the transverse church and connected to the three-sided gallery in the west by the organ gallery. The ground floor as well as the gallery stalls are aligned with the pulpit on the central north pillar, which was particularly important after the Reformation, as the place where the word of God was proclaimed. The choir became the location for the two evangelical sacraments Baptism and Last Supper, represented by the high altar for the distribution of the Last Supper and the Gothic baptismal font.
Furnishing
The most striking woodwork of the 17th century are the high altar, the pulpit with the angelic figure as the pulpit and the two apostle figures on the body as well as the baptismal font, created by the Ulm sculptor and ivory carver Johann Ulrich Hurdter (also: Hans Ulrich Furtner). The main picture of the high altar, a denomination picture from 1824, comes from Lukas Kirner from Günzburg. Five epitaphs and a tombstone from the period between 1604 and 1773 have their place in the choir . The modern glass altar in the middle of the nave in front of the pulpit was created by the Heilbronn glass artist Raphael Seitz .
organ
The organ was built in 2013 by the Lenter organ building workshop (Sachsenheim near Ludwigsburg) and installed in the existing organ case by the Ulm organ maker Georg Friedrich Schmahl from 1753. The instrument has 38 stops on three manual works and a pedal; it is based on the predecessor instruments in the baroque (manuals I + II on a shared twin slide drawer) and romantic (manual III on a cone drawer) style.
