from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Evangelical Church of Marzell

The Evangelical Church of Marzell , also called Martinskirche , is located in the Marzell district of the Malsburg-Marzell community in the Lörrach district . The church from the second half of the 17th century has origins that go back to the 13th century. Its organ case from the end of the 18th century is a listed building.

history

The first written mention of a pastor in Marzell ("decanus in Fiurbach et Marticelle") goes back to the year 1275, the church ("ecclesia Martinscell") is mentioned in the years 1360-1370. The origin of the place name Marzell is associated with the church in the "Cell of Martin". In 1379 the priory of Bürgeln took over the parish of Marzell, because it was no longer able to pay its clergy.

The current church goes back to a renovation or new building in 1687. The only remnant from the previous church is believed to be a pointed arched window in the west facade. In 1796 the small roof turret had to be reinforced for the bell that was purchased in 1789. After centuries of dependence - most recently on the parish of Vogelbach - Marzell became an independent parish again in 1952. A year later she was baptized in memory of Martin Luther Martinskirche.

Between 1956 and 1957 the church was thoroughly renovated inside and out. In the course of this work, the west entrance received a porch with a monopitch roof and new leaded glazing.
