Moorless church
The Moorless Church is the parish church in the former village of Mittelbüren in the Burglesum district of Bremen , Werderland .
history
The village of Büren existed in the 13th century. Due to changes in the course of the Weser in the Middle Ages, the districts of Hasenbüren and Lewenbüren , which are today on the left of the Weser, and Mittelbüren and Niederbüren , now on the right bank of the Weser in Goh Werderland, were separated. When the Klöckner-Werke in Bremen wanted to build the Klöckner Stahlwerk Bremen in the 1950s, most of Central Büren was included in the required area and the houses there demolished. The church, located directly on the Weser on the outskirts of the village, and some buildings in its vicinity have been preserved.
Surname
The name of the church was interpreted as the motherless church, since the parish (the mother church) had its seat in Altenesch and this initially dependent church became motherless due to the separation of the Weser. According to another interpretation, the name of the church is said to come from a sewer ditch in the Werderland, which was called Moorlöse.
Old building
The church may have been founded by Corvey Abbey in the 13th century. In the probably 14th century, a new Gothic brick building was built for this church , with a short nave , a squat tower and a choir extension from 1350.
New building
In 1845 the dilapidated church was torn down and replaced by a brick-facing new building in the neo-Gothic style by master builder Theodor Eggers listed in 1846/47 . The simple shape of a rural hall church was retained. The interior is illuminated by two large pointed arch windows and two small pointed arch windows. The interior is designed in a neo-Gothic style and equipped with church stalls , pulpit and organ prospect . Six coat of arms window panes with the names of the coat of arms of the church visitors of the 18th century have been preserved from the previous building. The church has been a listed building since 1973 .
school
The moorless church may have had an attached school in the 16th century, which was replaced by a new half-timbered building in 1786. The primary school was given up in 1969.
The area has belonged to the Burglesum district since 1946. The path along the Lesum and Weser from Bremen-Grohn or Bremen-Burg to the Moorlosenkirche is a popular excursion route on the edge of the Werderland nature reserve.
